From ancient Rome to modern debates, this episode explores the strange, sometimes absurd history of virginity. Chris traces how laws, religion, and culture have defined and defended an idea that can’t be medically proven, yet has shaped morality, politics, and personal lives for over 4,000 years. With stories of Lucretia, medieval purity tests, telegony, and modern double standards, we reveal how the concept of virginity has always been more about power than biology, told with curiosity, context, and a touch of humor.
