  Virgin School fuels the ever-pointless challenge of losing one's virginity. Apparently, losing your virginity is such a big issue and a massive step into "becoming a man", that there is a course in Amsterdam that allows students to enrol and lose their virginity. This documentary follows one 26-year old man's quest in losing his virginity by completing the course. Understandably, there is some good to be had in this course. It allows those who have anxiety when dealing with sex to overcome this overbearing obstacle. But, this documentary doesn't focus on that. No, it instead focuses on the immediate thirst for losing one's virginity. Feeding the typical heterosexual's complex that is corrupting young people today. Losing one's virginity is not a big issue. It isn't. And unfortunately films and documentaries like this won't let this non-issue disappear.
  
  However, that's not what makes this film pointless. It acts as advertisement for this course, which is fine. But once this "boy becomes a man" and completes the course, he actually says a line that omits the entire existence of this documentary and the course it loving shows off. "After completing the course, I had a revelation. I realise that sex is not essential". I paused, went back a few seconds and heard it again. He literally demolished the purpose of this course in one sentence, yet probably paid thousands of pounds just to lose his virginity to someone he has no attraction to. The course won't change his mentality when he meets someone he is actually attracted to. It's just a status change. Enabling him to say "yeah, I've had a sex. I'm a man now". Oh give me a break. An anger inducing piece of stupidity that is a clear indicator of how ridiculous social normality has become.
