Some young people actually think you could lose your virginity without penetration of the penis(sex). Physically, the female member could be stretched by inserting things other than the male genitalia, but you are not having intercourse. Sexual intercourse involves a male and a female. If I am wrong, adults, please correct me on this.

No one teaches them.
Sex is so taboo now days..say the wrong thing in health class to a group of pre-teens and you've got lawsuit all over your hands. Its sad really, if more young kids new about sex, there'd be less teen pregnancy and a lot more young adults having protected sex.

Answer: to lose Virginity does require a man and a woman. Yes all teenagers do it at one time or another. Boys and girls, men and women Masterbate. Masterbation is a form of self gratification, and it can help releive stress, headaches, because of the natural endorfins that are released while in the moment.
So using other objects other than a real penis from a man or a real vagina from a woman is not considered losing your virginity but just simple masterbation, which includes self exploration which is pefectly fine, as long as it is done in privacy. Don't let freeking religions fill your head with the idea that it's wrong and bad either, because there are benefits to knowing ones own body.

Misinformation comes from asking the wrong questions and the wrong people. Usually, parents are the best first source you can have, but sometimes they feel that if they share too much, you will become active before you should. Intercourse does involve 2 people, not necessarily man and woman, and it does involve penetration, but again, there are other ways of sexual contact that can be considered as a sexual act. (just look at Clinton!)

This is a tricky question. Technically a female loses her virginity when her hymen is broken (which can happen from many many different things...it can even tear when horseback riding). For many though, they think of losing their virginity as a loss of their sexual innocence. I honestly think of it as in the way you are explaining...but then does that mean that someone who is a lesbian and has never been with a man should still be called a virgin? To suit this problem many people define it as ANY sexual penetration (does not have to be a male genital that penetrates).

Because most parents feel it is the school systems problem to teach the kids about sex but I feel they couldnt be more wrong. I is the parents job to teach the child about sex so you know exactly what is being put into their heads and how their reactions are. You bring the children into this world you can tell them how that happened and none of this storck crap or cabage patch nonsense. Just tell them the truth.

A lot of young people are misinformed, or at least that's what it seems like.
I think the solution of educating kids about it in schools(and having staff that know about it), before they find out from friends who don't know what their talking about, or boys/girls who spread misinformation to their other to have sexual partners/relations will work.

There are many definitions of virginity. First, you and who you are debating must agree on a definition. This is a popular one- The state of being pure, unsullied, or untouched. Untouched here implies by another person. It's doesn't specify therefore, it's true in all situations (touching), not certain types of touching.

I'm not entirely sure that the technical definition of losing your virginity is the major problem in sex education!

technically and traditionally speaking, you're pretty right. Your main question is a very good one, because when I was in school we had some short type of sex ed class from fifth grade every year until high school graduation.

Because parents refuse to discuss it candidly. The same parents refuse to allow schools to teach it. And the only thing politicians want to say is "Don't have sex."
