I don't quite understand why we even have the concept. There's two completely different sides that are weighted just as heavily as each other.
On the one hand, keeping your virginity until marriage is praised. This most likely originated from some religious belief on how you're "pure" for your future spouse. Another added benefit is that you don't end up on MTV's Teen Mom 2. Why we even have two of these is beyond me.
It's much different from a social standpoint. If a guy loses his virginity quickly he's seen as "cool". Why is that cool? Somebody explain this to me. I've always [i]tried[/i] to save myself for marriage. Although I failed, I'm not necessarily mad that I did.
Discuss.

It doesn't really matter. Sex feels great but it alone doesn't make you happy, if I could turn back the clock to before I lost my virginity and meet the girl of my dreams on the condition that I'd never sleep with anyone else, I'd do it. Once you get to a certain number you stop caring and realise it can actually make you feel kind of empty inside. Losing virginity shouldn't be valued, finding love should be no homo.
