Purity Rings?

Question

Where can you get them? And at that store, can you get something engraved? What if you lose your virginity before you get married? What will happen? Do you need to get a church involved in order for you to get a purity ring(for example your priest blessing you)? Does masturbation and tampon use count as violation to your purity ring? Thanks (:

Answer 1

No tampon use and masturbation does not count because THAT IS NOT s*x. Obviously...gosh, get some sense!!

Answer 2

any religous store. there are a lot of places online. you can get things engraved. you do not need a church involved. if u lose ur virginity u take it off. th las 2 are not a "violation"

Answer 3

You don't need a "purity ring" to be a virgin. It's just a fad, and the people who make the rings profit off of your gullibility.

If you want to remain a virgin until you're married, then do it. You don't have to prove it to people by wearing a d**n ring.

Answer 4

A purity ring is simply a ring you wear (it can look like anything) to symbolize that you are not going to have s*x before marriage. A good friend of mine has a ring with her birth stone in it and forever engraved on the band. Any good jewelry shop can engrave ring bands or have them done. If you do happen to lose the virginity before marriage you simply broke your purity promise, it's not like you will go to h**l or be called a sl*t or never get married. No, you do not need to go to a church to get a purity ring. Masturbation can break the hymen for girls and that is the technical virginity in question but it's more of a thought about not having s*x, saving yourself for that one person you are going to be with for the rest of your life hopefully. Tampons are not going to break the hymen, they don't go up that far and using them does not mean that you are no longer a virgin.

Answer 5

you cant have s*x till ur married

Answer 6

ok, you can get them at any family christian book store. or sonetimes even walmart or target will have them. yes you can always get them engraved if its sterling silver. it is a promise between you and God that your going to stay pure till mariage, its very personal. you dont need anyones approval its between you and God. if you end up having s*x before your married then thats between you and God you can always be forgiven. im not sure about masturbation i think that is a matter of personal oppinion but tampons are not losing your virginity and anyone who tells you it is, is a r****d. you can look up scriptures on bible.com relating to these issues to help you draw your own conclusion. hope that helps :)

p.s.

these rings are also refered to as "true love waits rings"

that might help you with your search

Answer 7

You can get them at religious stores or online. I'm Irish and I was given a Claddagh ring for my 13 birthday and I use that as a purity ring.

If you lose your viriginity before you get married take it off. Or you can give the ring to the person you lose your virginity too. In my family, my oldest sister lost her virginity to her fiance and she gave him her ring. Then my other sister gave her purity ring to her husband on their wedding night. : )

If you lose your virginity nothing is really going to HAPPEN. But if you keep wearing your ring it is kind of a lie...

You don't need to get a Church involved, but some youth programs do have purity pledge programs so call your parish and find out what they can offer you...you could also request for your purity ring to be blessed in some religions. But you don't need to do anything through a Church just to get a ring and make a vow of purity...you can do that on your own, with your parents, or with your priest....it doesn't matter.

I don't know of any religion where tampon use means you lost your virginity. If you count the breaking of your hymen as losing your virginity, most girls hymen's break WAY before they have sexual intercourse. You can break it playing soccer, riding a bike, even horse back riding.

As far as masturbation...well I think that's for you to decide. If you believe that masturbating means you are no longer a virgin, then take off your ring. The moment you believe you are not a virgin, remove the ring. But I personally don't feel like masturbating means you've lost your virginity.

Good luck!!!

Answer 8

why would you want to advertise your sexual status to the world?  I have ever understood that.  if you want to remain a virgin until marriage then great, go for it and make that promise to yourself, but why announce it to the world by wearing a ring?  and if you lose your virginity before marriage then you dont wear the ring as it has no purpose...not that your not pure for losing your virginity.  and no, a church doesnt need to be involved as a church already assumes you will remain a virgin.  tampons and masturbation dont count unless you want them to.  this is just a little ring for yourself...it really has no meaning.
