How to lose your virginity

.

Therese Shechter 2013

Female virginity. The US government has spent 1.5 billion dollars promoting it. It has fetched $750,000 at auction. There is no official medical definition for it. And 50 years after the sexual revolution, it continues to define a young woman’s morality and self-worth.
How to Lose Your Virginity reveals the myths, dogma and misconceptions behind this so-called precious gift. We meet sex educators, porn producers, abstinence advocates, and outspoken teens who share their own stories of having–or not having–sex.

Video Librarian

Despite the title, this candid documentary is not a how-to guide, but rather an examination of the cultural value that America places on virginity… Entertaining and thought-provoking, this is recommended.
Educational Media Reviews Online

This film would be beneficial for both academic and public libraries and should be required viewing in sex education classes in schools… Highly Recommended
