A visual society stigma
Well this is question I have been juggling around and I have found it an interesting thought of what ifs. This many boils down to what would our society be like if something was different. What is that difference?
Well I watched Loveless not to long ago, and while I do not really understand it, I did a little reading about it. If what they said is true, then it is a very interesting idea that I would like to see more about. But enough beating around the bush, what if humans had a visual sign for their virginity. In the idea that it was a physical part of them, in Loveless if I am correct, humans have cat ears and a tail until they lose their virginity. If I am incorrect in this I apologize, but the idea is intriguing none the less.
Whatever everyone was born with some physical member part of their body that fell away after they lost their virginity. One could imagine how society would be different. You might even think of a society like the Scarlet Letter, where you are shunned and assualted for having done something taboo. And for the unfortunate ones, women do receive some physical sign, its would be pregenant, though that is something that happens in time. This would be an instant change or nearly instant.
Do you think society and people would be different, sneaking in that girl or boy to your room. Or running off to some hill in your car. And sneaking back home only to know that your parents will know what happened. Do you think that there would be less teen births? Would the underage sex rate be lower? Would kids think twice about doing something that they cannot get away with?
And what about all those 20/30 year old virgins that are out there. Would it become a sign of mocking? Would it drive people mad and insane, become introverts, become ashamed. Would it drive them to do something that they would regret? Would peer pressure cause them to go lose it just to not be mocked anymore?
It does raise some interesting questions, and I find it a fascinating subject for a story analysis. Imagine how something so simple could change society.
On a less serious note, if we all did cat ears, I probably would not want to give them up. =^_^= Hehe
But I would still have them anyway currently.
Your thoughts?
