“I am still a virgin”: The masterpiece of a book enthusiast

“I am still a virgin” is one of the new book releases and already present in libraries. Its author, Ghislain Viatonou, student in the Department of History and Archeology at the University of Abomey-Calavi.

Passionate about books, the one nicknamed by close friends “the Geographer” although he is studying History, he can now be counted among the ranks of Beninese writers. Winner of the Golden Trophy in 2017 a reading and writing competition organized by Beninese writer Amzath Hakim Laleye, the native of the Capital, is committed to realizing his dream of “become a writer”. By publishing this first novel Ghislain thus enters this circle of authors.

 In 136 pages, he comes back to virginity, a moral principle dear to women and to a certain number of religions but also a weapon of persuasion. Ghislain with his finest pen traces the story of Dominique, a young man in love and Belmine a young and beautiful girl who only demands love and affection from her prince. For this fact, she gave him this honorific phrase “I'M STILL A VIRGIN” each time the latter made his desire felt. The girl alone knew she was the nature of her game and gained the trust of her conquistador (Dominique) who euphorically promised her marriage. Only Belmine had already experienced sex and continued to give herself to this excellent carnal pleasure. But as we read, you won't be able to hide the rays of the sun with your hand. The truth was known but too bad for Dominique the marriage had just been celebrated.

“I am still a virgin” published by Editions du Printemps by Ghislain Viatonou has once again called into question the oral virginity of certain young girls who physically no longer have it. Attractive and informative, this novel is worth reading.
