A MUM of five daughters has divided opinion after saying she is teaching her girls that there is “no such thing as virginity.”
Author Cayce LaCorte, from South Carolina, who posts on TikTok as @book_mama, did a video explaining how she is raising her family.
She responded to a viral challenge by a user asking people to “name something about the way you raised your kids that people think is weird but you think is healthy.”
Cayce explained in her own video: “I’m raising my five daughters to believe that there is no such thing as virginity.
“It is a patriarchal concept used to control women and serves no purpose other than making women feel bad about ourselves.
“Just because some guy randomly sticks his penis in you at some point in your life, it does not change your worth, it’s not changing who you are. It doesn’t do anything other than it happened.
“Sex is important, it’s a big deal, it should always be a big deal.
“It has nothing to do with your first time and it’s just ridiculous and I get a lot of c**p from other mums saying ‘Oh well don’t you think that will make your daughters promiscuous?’
“I was like, no. I’m raising them to be good people and have solid foundations and like make your own choices and make smart, intelligent choices, not because some book says not to.”
Over two million people have watched the clip, so it appears to have struck a chord with online users.
One said: “OMG!!! As a therapist, there is much praise I want to drop here for you!!”
Another said: “We need to normalise this!!! You just shifted my perspective in 15 seconds, it makes so much sense. Thank you so much.”
A third commented: “Love this, always taught my daughters that it is more important to protect their credit score than their virginity.”
However another wrote: “I don’t place value on limited partners for ethical reasons, I think we should limit because I believe in soul ties.”
Previously, women reveal when they lost their virginity and whether it was the right time.
And a mum was horrified as daughter’s new colouring book features list of SEX toys and saucy positions.
