[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 695471, member: 1963"] My dad was taken to a "house" at 15 by his older brother. (His father was a Talmudic scholar and would've been appalled.) My dad found the experience to be very traumatic. My late husband's first exposure was being raped by 2 adult women when he was 14. I "lost my virginity" at 8 due to a meeting between my uncoordinated, terrified of heights body with a balance beam. My mother took me to her gynecologist due to the bruising and bleeding and I found out what had happened. I did not bleed my "first time". I was never given the lecture on saving it for marriage. Rather i was told it was MY decision because it was my body, and especially my decision because I'd be the one carrying and likely raising any babies that resulted. That came from my mother. I think my dad got the vapors any time he thought of his oldest daughter and sex in the same context. I was never hit with any "ownership" issues, though at 11, at onset of menses, I did go through the excruciating ritual of being dragged to the mikvah by the elderly paternal aunts and going through my first ritual cleansing post period, including getting my nails cut to the quick, and various prayers said over me. It's supposed to be a time of great bonding between women, but I was just mortified. [/QUOTE]
