do u think all nuns r virgins?

Question

we hear the naughty stuff that priests do but what about the nuns? r they good girls or something else?

Answer 1

NO! Especially the ones that become nuns after they had children!.....unless they're like the virgin Mary and her magic!

Answer 2

When I was a small child (in the early 1950's) I lived in an obscure little town with a convent. All of the nuns there were pregnant. No, not fat, pregnant.

Since I wasn't a Catholic, it didn't alarm me a lot. I took it as a 'so what?' observation: nuns are pregnant women who wear way too many clothes for this weather--but imagine my surprise when I later understood the ideas of 'virginity,' 'chastity,' and so on.

I don't think morality has changed all that much in a mere fifty years, especially given that practically everyone says that today's behavior is less moral than it was 'back then.' I would suppose that such secret convents can still be found.

That is: "No, not all nuns are virgins; moreover, it is unlikely that all practicing nuns are chaste."

Still, I'm gonna assume that the next nun I run across would be unhappy if I offered her a moustache ride. I'm a tactful guy, you know?

Answer 3

The "naughty stuff" is nonsense perpetuated by bigots. Nuns are not all virgins some come to the Religious life after marriage and widowhood, others after various lives. Only two religious orders require their nuns to be physical virgins, The Carthusians and the Cisterians. They all live the lifestyle of a virgin. They take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience.

Answer 4

Most nuns are not virgins. They come from the regular world that you and I come from, and then eventually they decide to join a convent. Some of them were even married before they joined.

Once in the convent, do they stop having sex? well, some of them probably take their vows quite seriously, but I wouldn't touch the larger candles in their rooms... after all, everyone gets urgens.

Answer 5

It's not a requirement to be a virgin. Some women come to the orders after having had a sex life.

There are some instances of sexual abuse by nuns, although most complaints are of physical abuse.

OMG, Edna's back!

Answer 6

Of course not. You can become a nun at any point in your life, and some people do so after children and sex. You must then be chaste, but being a virgin isn't a requirement.

Answer 7

A sick question..but I'll give it a shot anyway.

No, not all nuns are virgins. Why? Some women...even canonized saints were married and some had children first. Later due to various circumstances they entered Religious Life and then took the oath of Celibacy.

Happy now?

Answer 8

I've known nuns and priests who have come into the vocation after being married, raising their family and realizing there was something more left to be done, something inside still unfulfilled and they discovered it in the service of God.

Answer 9

Of course not. It is not a requirement.

And I hope that you aren't as hung up on sex as your question suggests. Calling people who don't have sex "good" (and by corollary, people who do, "bad") indicates that you believe someone has to play moral watchdog over consenting adults. Most priests and most nuns strive to live up to their commitments to remain celibate.

Answer 10

After they becomes nuns but not sure of before.

Answer 11

why do u've such an intention to know it... well.. anyhow... nuns were not to be virgins to get into the service of GOD...

virginity doesn't mean that u r pure... how long u knew about virginity... its just physical... even a bikecycle ride could lead to rupture of the hymen in biological sense...

here the purity is makes sense with the how far they are true to their self and to GOD... we are not there to judge them.. isnt right... my frnd.. don't try to poke in others business... until its poke u..
