Virginity – the last taboo?

In a culture where sex is seemingly everywhere – is virginity the last taboo? On Thursday’s edition of Woman’s Hour, Miriam O’Reilly discusses the elusive nature of Virginity and looks at how this universal human experience has remained subject to ever changing interpretations.


"Virgin: A Cultural History " by Anke Bernau is published by Granta Books on 20th September 2007
