Britney Spears

Posted on July 20, 2003 in Celebrity Sexuality

I’m a little slow on responding to the news, but Britney Spears is no longer a virgin. And all I have to say is “eh”.

Britney, I don’t care what does and doesn’t pass the portals of your maidenhood. It’s not my concern and, to tell the truth, I don’t find you particularly attractive because all you offer is your body, starved down to fit in the smallest number made for jeans, trained to sing and dance at a market-tested beat.

Your purity was nothing more than a turn-on for the men who wanted you. Would I be the first? they asked themselves. Would I be the first to break Britney open and cause her belly to swell? I doubt that you are pregnant from your sexual adventurism, I doubt that you avoided using birth control. Your body is too precious to you, you need that slenderness to sell it to the men who dream of having you and to the women who dream of being like you so that they might be stripped by the eyes of thousands of men.

They bought your lie, the lie of sexual sanctity, the boast that you would bleed on your wedding night. There’s no change. You still are the girl that you were when your hymen was intact. You were then and you are now a whore, your body just one more product on the shelf at Walmart, dancing for the men and making the women envious.
