Why Does Our Society Put so Much Weight on Virginity?
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.

3 RepliesReligious indoctrination left over from what I assume to be a ad hoc system of limiting unplanned pregnancies. Prior to birth control, which is a very recent concept, pregnancies could only be prevented reliably with not having sex. Discouraging intercourse until a pair was more able to provide for any offspring may have been the early method of birth control.
