Despite the fact that she has never had s.e.x, a British woman is speaking out about becoming pregnant and giving birth.
Kimberley Godsall, a 38-year-old v!rgin, gave birth to her daughter Scarlett after spending more than $21 000 (about R315 000) on fertility treatments.
Godsall is among a growing number of “v!rgin mums” who are opting to have children before they become intimate.
At least four fertility clinics in England have helped heterosexual v!rgins conceive in recent years.
According to The New York Post, a British fertility doctor said she had personally worked with three women, v!rgins, who wanted to conceive.
“One was a career woman and too busy, and I don’t think they’ve given themselves the opportunity to explore their s.e.xuality. They were well-balanced and mentally prepared,” the doctor said.
The exact number of “v!rgin mums” in America was not known, but it was likely that fertility experts across the country were also helping women become parents before having s.e.x.
Godsall said she was “saving herself” for marriage, despite the fact she was not religious.
“I realize it’s a romantic view of life. But from a young age, I knew that while I wanted children, I only ever wanted to have s.e.x with the person I’m going to marry,” she stated.
“So, I felt I’d failed when I wasn’t married by my mid-20s. I don’t judge other people for having lots of s.e.xual partners; they can do what they like with their bodies,” she added.
“And, I wouldn’t expect my partner to be a v!rgin. That doesn’t bother me either; this is just what I’ve always wanted for myself.”
