do you think a rape victim is still a virgin? (assuming they haven't had any other sex)

Question

Accepted Answer

I am a woman who was raped before losing my virginity, I struggled with this question for a while and came to the conclusion that virginity can’t be taken, only given. Therefore rape victims still maintain their virginity

Answer

I’m not gonna lie that is a really good question. I would say “technically” no she isn’t. But mentally and spiritually yes she is

Answer

I was brutally assaulted and raped when I was 12.  I lost my physical virginity but my heart and the true intimate act of sex is between me and my husband now.  That’s what matters to me.

Answer

Once people understand rape and sex aren’t the same thing this wouldn’t even be a question.

Answer

No but in reality virginity is just a made up stupid thing anyhow so if it is important to the person then I don't really care either way if they want to say they are a virgin or not
I mean it goes a long the lines of born again virgins even if they choose to have sex...

Answer

It’s a social construct technically you can decide if you’re a virgin or not a virgin.
