I am probably getting the "no, you're misunderstanding us... born again virgins are people who are 'spritually' renewed. They take (yet another) oath to be pure and abstain from sex until marriage."
The act of sex is a physical thing. There are two people (at the bare minimum), and they have to get physical for sex to happen. You can't have 'spiritual' sex with each other. You can't hover in the air over one another like helicopters. You have to do the deed, and if the deed is done, then it is done! Your virginity is gone. There is no turning back.
Let's say for a second that sex = chocolate. Would you know how chocolate taste like if you've never had it before? No, because you'd have to physically eat the chocolate to know what it tastes like. Then after eating it, you can't go back and say you're going to be spritually renewed, and vow to remain pure and abstain from chocolate until marriage. No chocolate means no chocolate!
Even with hymen reconstruction surgery and some fake blood, you can recreate the first time scenario, but it won't be your first time. You can't get your virginity back.
Even though my mind finding so many errors with this, I do have a heart though, and can see why there are people who need assurance in their lives. For instance, if they were part of abuse and were victims of some sort, I can see why being 'born again virgin' would give them self-empowerment and some peace in their lives.
But then there are people who had their first time as a teenager, and it wasn't as great as they expected it to be. It wasn't as glamourous as they hoped. They waited so long and blew it the first time. So they want a second chance. Well, tough. How many times do you have to be born again, to realize that you're not a virgin anymore?!
But realize that I am not Christian, and I do not follow the Bible. Why do I even care about this topic? It's nuts that even though I wasn't Christian, this stuff still affected me, because it didn't make sense, and it still doesn't no matter how I look at it.
