Losing Virginity?

[Neithan]

The Catholic Encyclopedia article on Virginity states:

Virginity is irreparably lost by sexual pleasure, voluntarily and completely experienced.

Naturally this includes any conjugal relations within a marriage, as well as sins against chastity such as fornication or adultery.

But where is the line drawn? What constitutes “completely experienced”?
Do pornography and masturbation destroy virginity?
Do lustful fantasies, if they are indulged with full deliberation and consent?
In other words, would *any *mortal sin against chastity destroy virginity?

 

[Malcolm_McLean]

The Catholic Encyclopedia article on But where is the line drawn? What constitutes “completely experienced”?

The word means someone who has not sexual intercourse with another person.

 

[Pat_the_Cat]

VIRGINITY
The state of bodily integrity in either sex. This integrity may be physical or moral, and either factual or intentional. Physical virginity is sometimes defined as the absence of any sinfully experienced lustful sensation. But, strictly speaking, a person is physically a virgin unless he or she has had sexual intercourse with a person of the opposite sex. Moral virginity means the absence of any willful consent to venereal pleasure; again, strictly speaking, with a person of the opposite sex. Virginity is factual when, de facto, a person has not in the past sought or indulged in sexual pleasure; it is intentional when a person intends never to experience such pleasure, according to the previous distinctions made. (Etym. Latin virgo, maiden, virgin.) CatholicReference.net

 

[Neithan]

My question pertains to moral virginity in the quote Pat the Cat posted above.

The "absence of any willful consent to venereal pleasure" would seem to exclude pornography and masturbation - even lustful fantasies.
