Just 10 Minutes and Now You are Virgin Again

Question: What can plastic surgery do for you? Reshaping of the eyelids, enlarging your breast or firming your abdomen? Ok, what about restoring hymen. You may feel so shocked about it. What, restoring hymen? What is the point? But for those living in Eastern countries, especially in China, it is such a big deal to be a virgin and be able to prove it at the first night of the marriage. Thanks to the high technology, now in China there are numerous plastic surgeries which will help those who “accidentally” lost their virginity to regain their purity so that their obsessed-to-virgin husband will see the bloody spot on the bed sheet on their wedding night as their wishes.
Just as the advertisements of one plastic surgery says: “only 10 minutes to regain your virginity, no pain, with low price and strict confidence”, this kind of operation contains little risk. Mainly there are two methods to fix it: one is to use thread to stitch up the hymen, another is to put an artificial hymen, which contains red coloring, in the vagina. The second one beats the first in the convenience and low price. You do not need to be in hospital, no worry about being seen by your familiars and is easy to use. Just put it in your vagina, and WOW—you are a Virgin now! But only with one disadvantage: it is not so clean and may cause infection. Therefore those who have some money in their pocket will normally choose the first method to be “pure” again.
Most of the customers are girls who have an unsuccessful love experience. By taking this operation, they hope they can start a new relationship and marry some decent men. And some girls hope to regain virginity since they lost it out of their intention. For example, rape, injury in sports etc. What is interesting is that many prostitutes also take this operation. Some hope to cover their past and marry some guys, the other just want to sell their “virginity” again since it is very profitable. Say, a normal price for a call girl in China may be 500 Yuan; for a virgin it can be high up to 20,000 Yuan, and the price for operation is usually below 1000 Yuan. Deducting the expenditure, they make a profit of more than 10,000 Yuan for pretending a virgin.
So the question again, what is the point of regaining your virginity? Why are these girls so desperate to be virgins again? The answer is men in China really care. Tengxun, one of the biggest website in China, used to have a ballot about this issue; it shows that among the 320,000 people who vote in this ballot, only 13.2% say they do not care whether their wives are virgins or not. In other words, near 90% men in this ballot have virgin complex and it will not be too exaggerating to say most men in China hold the same opinion when it comes to virginity. They demand their wives to know nothing about sex before the wedding night, and crave for the evidence such as the bloody spot on the bed sheet. They view it as prove of purity, loyalty and the basic for a successful marriage. If they find out their wives have slept with other men before the marriage, some of them will be so fierce that they commit violence to let off their anger; other may hide their discontentment and be cold to their wives. All in all, they value it so much that it becomes the important element for lots of people to a successful marriage in China.
Now it is really ironic. Men take the blood on the wedding night as the evidence of a virgin, but actually it can be colorings, artificial blood or merely the product of an operation. The plastic surgery claims it only costs 10 minutes to be a virgin; women who accidentally lost it can be as many times as they like. But it is really that important in marriage? How will Chinese men react to the fact that in Western countries few people care about it? Will they name Western women as immoral or lascivious? Or will they begin to think about something really matter in marriage, such as Love?
