One other piece of advice and I am through. Some men of a low moral and 

mental caliber are under the influence of the pernicious idea that if a 

girl has lost her virginity--no matter under what circumstances--she no 

longer amounts to much and is free prey for everybody who may want her. 

And, like beasts of prey, these wretched specimens of humanity pester 

such a girl with much more impudence, more brazenness than they dare to 

employ in the case of a girl who is still considered a virgin. And, 

what is more, the girls themselves become poisoned with this pernicious 

idea and dare not offer the same resistance that the virgin does. And 

they often yield with resignation, though against their will, and 

though they may experience a feeling of disgust against the man. 

Now again, _don't you do it_. Do not nurse the medieval idea that 

because you are not a virgin in the physical sense, you are "ruined," 

"no good," and an outcast. You are nothing of the kind. If through 

some cause or other you are no longer in possession of an intact 

hymen, it is your affair or misfortune, and nobody else's. Do not on 

that account cast your eyes down and avoid meeting people. Carry your 

head high, do not fear to meet people, and treat with contempt the 

jeers of the stupid and ignorant. A person's entire character does not 

depend upon the presence or absence of the hymen, and one misstep 

should not ruin a person's whole life. A boy is not "ruined," is not 

an outcast, because he has had sexual relations before marriage, and 

while the boy's and girl's cases are not exactly identical, still the 

poor girl should not be made to expiate one error all her life long. 

It isn't fair.
