Purity Rings: The Real Deal with Having One

There is no better way to express your vow or commitment for purity than with having or wearing purity rings. Because of popular young celebrities like the Jonas Brothers sporting and making statements with their rings, more and more young people are getting into the bandwagon. A good majority of teenagers and young adults are now making a vow to remain pure by showcasing their rings.

These rings are also known as chastity rings or promise rings. Most of the time, they are embellished with words like “True Love Waits,” or “One Life One Love,” constantly serving as a reminder to the wearer about his or her commitment to chastity and waiting for the right one.  This practice was originally started during the 1990’s and was a way to discourage premarital sex among young people especially. Today, decades after the movement was first started, purity rings are still popular.

More often than now, promise rings are worn in the left hand around the ring finger by an individual who has made a commitment to stay a virgin until they are married. Another popular way of wearing them is by using them as a necklace around the neck. Even though the movies and society reflect otherwise, purity rings and the concept of staying pure is becoming more popular. Teens who want to be different and are not afraid to remain celibate until marriage will find that wearing purity rings will express their opinions clearly. This will mark their difference with their peers, those who just give into promiscuity without much thought.

Purity rings are made to be worn by both men and women. They are perfect for letting people know about your commitment and reminding yourself about your vow to celibacy. Most people, when they hear the term “purity rings,” the initial reaction would be a person abstaining from sex. However, there are actually different kinds of promise rings.
 
A “second virginity,” promise can be made and signified with a purity ring. This promise is usually done by people who have indulged in sexual activity way too young in their lives and are now regretting it. Wearing their promise ring helps them to commit their virginity a second time and promise to wait for the right person. Even though they cannot change what they did in the past and the things that they’ve done, they can make a commitment to change the future. Giving them the courage to start and pick up the pieces again.
 
Other types of promise rings usually worn by people are rings that promise abstinence from alcohol or drugs. People who have suffered from drug abuse and alcohol abuse and are looking to change their lives, wear these rings to mark their commitment to sobriety and being drug free. This isn’t limited to alcohol and drugs. Anything that a person is addicted and feels that they have to get over their addiction can use these rings for strength and motivation; addiction to gambling, or food, or other sexual addictions can also be the motivation behind it.

Purity rings are certainly making a comeback. Whatever reason a person may choose when deciding to wear one, it is still welcome news. As long as the intentions are pure and sincere, purity rings can definitely help any individual overcome any hurdles they may have, even if the rest of the world is against them.
