Happpppy Monday #toters!! In today's episode Kyah and I discuss the concept of VIRGINITY. What is it really? Is it a social construct? Is there a right age to lose your virginity? What do you do if your personal views on religion don't align with your religion? Can you lose your virginity to a girl? We talk through all of these questions and more today! All of the opinions & comments expressed throughout the episode are our own and understand/accept that everyone is entitled to their own opinions and views on virginity/religion and that other people's opinions may differ from ours. :)
