MARITAL HYGIENE: PRE-MARITAL PHYSICAL EXAMINATION – VIRGILITY AND MARRIAGE Formerly, an intact hymen was regarded as a sign of virginity. It was not recognized, as it is today, that in some women the hymen is naturally so slight or flimsy that it cannot be distinguished by the ordinary person from one which has been torn or stretched through intercourse. Also, we know that it is quite possible for dilatation to have occurred as a result of inserting a douche nozzle. The earlier notion that virginity could be determined by the condition of the hymen sometimes led to great injustice.Even with these facts pretty generally known, there will always be a certain amount of suspicion aroused in the minds of some old-fashioned men, on finding that the hymen is not intact at marriage. One gain which will result from making artificial defloration the rule before marriage will be that a husband will no longer have an advantage over his wife in concealing his past while she is not allowed the same privilege. Regardless of one’s attitude toward premarital sex relations, this proposed equality of women with men to determine for themselves how much of their past they wish to divulge will commend itself to every fair-minded man. If a man truly loves a woman, he will not care to know anything about her past except what is pleasant for her to recall.*117\275\8*

HIV: ON LIVING-TACTICS FOR PRESERVINGThis article is about how to fight the disease, how to keep from giving in, how to stay in one piece. It is about how to face uncertain physical health and still preserve emotional health. Preserving emotional health in the face of HIV infection is heroic, and people do it all the time, using all sorts of tricks. They call the tricks survival strategies or mind games or mental tricks—preservation tactics, for lack of a better term. Preservation tactics allow people to function in their daily lives, to endure pain and loss, to choose how to live, and to find real satisfaction and pleasure in the process.     There are a great variety of successful preservation tactics. People use different tactics at different times, depending on their needs. Many of the tactics even seem to contradict one another: sometimes people need to confront what the disease might bring; other times they need to take a break from that. Some of the tactics might work for you; some you might need to modify. You will almost certainly make up new ones for yourself.     Some tactics come from mental health professionals, though these professionals have no firm rules for maintaining emotional wholeness. Most tactics come from the rich imaginations and enormous inner resources of the people affected by HIV infection.     These people are proud of their toughness and resourcefulness, and so they should be. Steven Charles said, “I have to deal with this whether I want to or not. A whole year has gone by since I was diagnosed with the virus. How have I come through it? I think I’ve come through it admirably.” Neither Steven nor anyone else feels they have been admirable every minute: “It’s hard to do seven days a week,” he says. But on the whole, everyone who uses preservation tactics says that life is better.     Preservation tactics seem to fall into two broad categories. The first is: use your sources of support. The second is: as far as you are able, take control of your life.*228\191\2*
