Pak Arif Musing On The Loss Of Virility
If a man loses his virility, even in old age he would feel it, regard it as a calamity, a tremendous, irreparable loss as a loss of his eyes, his hearing, his feet, a heart failure, a stroke, …
And I thought of unmarried couples who were blamed, scorned, feeling so wretched because of their ardor of making love. Instead they should be proud of. And of Winarsih who committed suicide, ashamed to carry, bear an illegal child rather then of being grateful that there’s a man who visited, desired her and gave her his child. And of Clinton’s and Monica’s illicit making love with a possible impeachment of the president. And of the rapist in The Filippines who was sentenced to death. Was he a criminal or a victim of an excess of virility? Was she a victim or a blessed, an honored virgin as she was irresistible in a moment that she was free, alone, outside her social “cage” that should keep her protected? Oh, so prudish, just for such “petty” sins against – God? – the rules, authorities.
Blessed are those that marry, that make love before marriage or without marriage, even the rapist as we consider, compare to the immeasurable loss of one’s virility, never, ever could make love again. They should be congratulated, instead of be blamed, sentenced.
