I know people that work in wholesale in Morocco and they sell vials of “blood” made in China for this very purpose.

Good to see you Hisham!

You know, I tend to agree with you in that it incites women to lie. I can’t tell you how many Moroccan women I know who will or would have (risky, probably unprotected) anal sex to avoid “losing their virginity” – because then, when asked, they can still claim to be virgins…though by my definition, they would clearly not be.

It’s unfortunate, and I agree that trust and honesty are paramount.

Happy holidays to you too :)

Very interesting!
You bet there is a market for it…
I always thought this stupid hymen worshiping business was inciting women (in the Moroccan society… and I know what I’m talking about, believe me) to lie, conceal and deceit their partners… It’s a huge and corrupting issue in men-women relationships in Morocco.
Personally I don’t give a damn about sexual virginity in my partner… All I’m concerned with is honesty in human relations…telling the truth is paramount! All the rest is out of date rubbish…
This caused me problems you know: people thinking that I must be mentally ill or dangerously careless…
Of course there are considerations of “honour”, and “reputation” in our quasi-tribal societies… but again: trust is paramount as you rightly said.

Good wishes and marry Christmas Jill!

I’m thinking, do men have a way to prove virginity? As far as I know there isn’t a way to determine if a man is having it 1st time or not. So yes its a bit biased view against women!

Marcy,

I’ll have to watch it – it actually made it to not one, but TWO, cinemas in Boston (as “Caramel” of course)! I think I may have emphasized the importance of virginity a little too much in an effort not to offend…Personally, I find the concept fairly meaningless, but I do have friends who believe in waiting until marriage and I respect that choice – especially when the choice is from BOTH parties involved.

Ari, I think you buy it online, but I don’t know…hoping one of my friends in Japan will weigh in.

Alloush – I hadn’t thought of it that way. You’re right – by the availibility of this product, the need for blood on the wedding night will vanish!

I support anyone’s desire to remain a virgin until marriage, but like you, I think that it’s about honesty, not blood.

I think it will find its way to the Arabic market, and I hope so, cause when such a product will be available the Idea itself of having un touched woman will be vanished when we knew that any woman can have this.

For me I have a strong believe on not having sex before marriage, and I don’t care of the past of any woman, but from the point I engage with her and so on is very important that we both be open and honest to each other.

What is marriage if I’m not going to trust the only partner in my life!.

I don’t know enough about hymen surgery or Morocco to begin to comment, but I’m more curious how popular this Japanese item is. And where does one buy it? At a Macy’s?
