En el presente texto busco analizar el concepto de virginidad como construcción normativa en la experiencia cristiana de la carne según el pensamiento del filósofo francés Michel Foucault. Para lograr tal cometido, primero abordo la cuestión de los aphrodisia en la Grecia Clásica junto con la configuración de una estética de la existencia. Posteriormente, destaco el lugar específico que ocupó la abstención pagana practicada por los filósofos griegos que cimentó, en parte, las bases de las artes de la virginidad como dispositivo de acceso a la salvación cristiana. Finalmente, señalo -siguiendo a Foucault- la transición desde la vivencia de la sexualidad en Grecia hacia el cristianismo donde la idea del pecado original influyó de manera determinante en la experiencia cristiana de la carne, ya que avanzó sobre la elaboración de un ejercicio constante de ascesis sobre sí del sujeto en búsqueda del desciframiento de sus propios deseos.
