Revolution is to turn around things literally. What has turned around? Seriously, Virginity was something that was not only dear to countries like India, it was so for the so called FORWARD America as well. There are a number of things that have been attributed to the amelioration of ideas related to sex in the American society. One among them is the PILL!
There are many articles that say that the pills made people feel safe about sex and having intercourse without having to worry about pregnancy. Well, the reason for people hesitating to have sex prior to marriage was not just pregnancy, but also about the Sexually Transmitted Diseases or STDs! People were afraid of Neisseria gonorrhea and other microbial infections. Being a microbiologist myself, it is a wonderful feeling I know, to discover how some antibiotic works. But still, what is the point in making antibiotics that will damage the society?
So what is the connection between the Birth Control Pill and Antibiotics then?
Yes there is! You should have found that out by now! Even before the Birth Control Pills or the Blue Pills were introduced, the World War saw the scale up and extreme use of Penicillin that protected people against STDs caused by bacteria. But wait, why is it not good? You need to hear me out.
We boast about being the super animals, having the ability to control the world. We say that we are a society. We talk about surrogate mothers to maintain lineage. But what about intimacy and virginity? Should we be like animals in that aspect? There are NGOs that call for the people to get closer to nature and I am sure that this is not the way to get closer to nature at all.

From the 50s till late 80s, people were happy with these antibiotics and the Pill. But then, there was someone else, the HIV!!!
So sex was not just about getting pregnant anymore. It was all about the various cocktail of diseases that HIV could bring along with it. Then came condoms and medical tests to confirm cleanliness in all aspects.
But should we fight against these diseases? With all the progress being made in finding cure for HIV, it would only make people free to indulge in adultery. I think that it is bad. One might advocate that with the cure, we could save all those who got the disease unknowingly because they trusted their loved ones. One could point out the new born babies that got the disease through the trust channel. But if at all there is a cure, then the crime would only increase. As time goes by, adultery would then become as common as a hug or a kiss! Nothing would then be a crime. People would be okay with that and the law would also permit things that are evil today. So the society would not have a stable family at all. Who would know their father and mother? We would only be increasing the revenues for diagnostic labs to find the real father and mother. Would we even care to find out? Would we even have a family? If so, how big would it be and who would take responsibility for which child?
