Virginity, usefull or not? Options

Is there any magickal use in virginity? Or at least in females, considering the entire fuss religious traditions make over it?

I've been wondering about this for a while and I can't seem to find anything relevant to the question that isn't biased by our christian heritage. There's a good bit of magick centering around sex, but I'm reluctant because the opposite might be just as true. I'm loath to just have sex for shits and later discover a branch of magick that specifically asks for this!

Does anyone here know something about such a system? Or how the hymen virginity relates to energy? I vaguely recall one of the grimoirs asking for a female practitioner to also be a virgin.

not unless you are using your sexual frusteration to fuel a working designed to get you laid. I can't make sense of that, however this wont be easy to find out...Virginity is rarely a prized posession in "sex magick" from what I've seen. However you may have much better luck with this, the hindu's thought it was important. However the tantric sex works were the eqivalent of satanism to their religion. Sex with someone other than the person you are married to is highly frowned upon in that culture. If you want to look into it, i suggest in hinduism and buddhism.

As alluded to there's nothing wrong with sex or people that use sexual magic, but anyone who believes that physical sexual activity is necessary would be sorely mistaken.

Sex is not necessary for individual survival, however you mistake in noting that if it is not done, your species will die. That is why we have such powerful impluses to do it, and rightly so. The powerful energies released can be utilized, and can help with many magical workings. Why not do that? It seems foolish to not utilize your full potential and learn how to control these things if for anything, be it you and your partners sexual benefits. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
