Minor Philosophical Question
I just bought and finished reading "Iwaihime", I remembered that I had a minor philosophical question that I have never discussed with anyone before. No spoilers, but Ryukishi07 is really good at writing pitiful characters, and I haven't teared up over a character like Suzunome since Menma from Ano Hana. Being too awkward to ask on any serious discussion board, so I thought Basil would be the perfect site to pose the question:
Are you still a virgin if you remember sexual experiences from a previous life?

wtf did i just read
*Ahem* Well, if the answer is no then many people could claim they are no longer virgins. I think that those who have some sort of philosophical mindset may or may not be affected by a mental disorder. However, this is not to say you personally have a mental illness. Coming up with large thoughts to explain new ideas have been present for millennia, and sometimes they can seem reasonable or ridiculous. We can compare any person who has founded a religion and can judge them through our eyes. Would following them be worth doing? And does this belief even make sense? Is it worth proving or can it stay a mystery? Society marks a non-virgin as a big accomplishment in life, and why not? Many organisms main goal in life is to pass down their own genetic information to the next generation. Perhaps you did have lusty sex in a so called "previous lifetime" (one would question if reincarnation is real), but even so there are many who are willing to lie about it to seem different. We can look at those who call themselves "____kin" there doesn't seem to be any benefit in following that sort of belief, in fact it only cripples one's social standing. As a social species, gaining attention is usually a good thing, especially if one receives positive or interesting feedback. I caution those who have been touched by works of fiction, to avoid taking any application of said fiction upon themselves seriously.
So I'm going to go with yes, you must have had sexual experience in your current lifetime to no longer be considered a virgin.
