- Synopsis
What has launched both purity balls and porn franchises, defines a young woman’s morality–but has no medical definition? Enter the magical world of virginity, where a white wedding dress can restore a woman’s innocence and replacement hymens can be purchased online.
"How To Lose Your Virginity" exposes the myths and misogyny surrounding a rite of passage that many obsesses about but few truly understand. Irreverent, eye-opening and thought-provoking, the film is the perfect tool to ignite conversations around sexuality in your communities.
What if all we had to lose were our virginity myths?
