For the first time on the Internet, the term “stone women” appeared, used to describe those women who actively choose to avoid sexual activity for a long time and refuse to discuss sex-related topics. As this phenomenon becomes increasingly popular in modern society, “stone women” have become the subject of public discussion.
The term is literally translated as “women turned into stone,” with some considering it a form of gender equality advocacy, while also reflecting the importance of individual choice. Considering personal preferences, cultural backgrounds, health conditions, and interpersonal interactions, society should respect each person’s decisions and avoid labeling “stone women” as abnormal phenomena.
Some women who identify as “stone women” do not make this choice due to physiological or psychological disorders but based on personal beliefs, values, the need for self-control, or specific personality traits. Therefore, traditional views on sexuality do not apply when judging them.
Furthermore, some “stone women” may face health challenges such as specific illnesses or negative reactions to sex. In such cases, maintaining their privacy and dignity is crucial, while education and guidance should promote the formation of healthy sexual attitudes and enhance women’s self-identity.
Some individuals may choose abstinence due to experiences of sexual abuse or resulting low self-esteem. In the face of such individuals, society should provide psychological care and support to help them rebuild confidence and reshape self-awareness.
