Does virginity still matter to you?

In my country,India, people are still concerned about the virgin status of the bride even though living in modern times. This is true for people living in rural areas as well as in urban cities. We have a strong cultural tradition that goes back thousands of years in which the virgin woman is revered and worshipped. Therefore even in educated societies there most people still adhere to this tradition except for a very miniscule minority who like to think and live differently. This minority belongs mainly to the elite and rich stratum of society who like to think of themselves as " liberated ". However most men and women prefer not to lose their virginity before marriage and most of such marriages are successful.

it really matters a lot especially here in our country where a lot of people are still conservative. to me it still matters, it's a gift. but since our whole society has degraded virtue and values, my advice for boys and girls is that they should value their virgintiy, after all, losing it on your first time doesnt feel great right? so might as well lose it to someone who would treasure you and love you, someone you truly respect.. like a worthy husband.

It will depend upon person to person. If I have to get marry to a person, I won't take it too seriously the issue of her virginity because in today's changing environment and circumstances, it is not necessary that one lost her/his virginity because of having s*x with someone, it may be due to another factors too.

If someone is not a virgin but expects their partner to be virgin, that is totally unfair. You shouldn't expect your partner to be virgin if you are not. I am still virgin and i expect my partner to be virgin. I hope there is nothing wrong in it

When never more exist males chauvinist… Virginity will not a matter…

If you can keep your virginity until you get married then that would be better but virginity should not matter in a relationship especially in marriage. What matters most should be your love for each other.

As for me, it is indeed very important. It's just so sad that there are some people who are so impatient and can't wait until they are married. But then it again it really just depends on them.

Hi Jenaisle, This may sound weird to you. It sounded weird to my officemates. But the first time I did it was during the first night my hubby and I got married. I was 25 years youngthen. I really kept my virginity until our honeymoon night. Nowadyas, when my office mates and I are talking about it, they tease me or make fun of me as a lot of them did it during their teen years (16-18). And I told them, to each his own. But for me, I would say this now. I can't take it if my twin daughters will just lose their virginity out of wedlock. Am I just being paranoid?

This is a very good questions and topic for that matter. No matter what anyone say people are pressured into loosing there virginity. Just now in days its starting earlier. I'd like for my boys to loose theres when they are like 30 LOL but i know thats not going to happen. Being a virgin isnt a bad thing but you do get put down on alot when you are.

Hi, To be frank, I don't know. The thing is like we can pass comments on things when they are happening to others and i don't want to be like that. So, i ll tell you what i feel about it from my standpoint. I have a girlfriend and what i expect from her is she share all her feeling with me (you can call it a selfishness), but it is from this selfishness that the question of virginity has raised. I don't want to know about her past, but what my concern is, I want her full commitment towards me in present and in future, which i am getting. So I am least bothered about her virginity. For me virginity is a symbol of commitment and that could be lost not only physically, but also in a psychological way. I hope you got my point.

Yes. I believe that holding onto your virginity makes your "first time" more passionate and has more feeling behind it. It signifies that you value your body and it's not all about just that. Now that I am older, I wish I would have waited until I was married.

hi jena, virginity is not a matter to me, now a days very difficult to expecting the virginity from the partner. But love is important in both of the couple.

Yes. I want my wife to be virgin on the time of our wedding.

yes its matter to me, I want my future wife still virgin when we get married.

No. It doesn't matter to me...at my age...but I also don't want someone who sleeps around with everyone...I think in reality if I were young and waited for marriage I might be disappointed.....I like to know what I am buying before I make the purchase.

yes it is imporatant to me...it is our custom and religion to hold viginity before getting married.but i am very open minded to other opinion about this...as long as the couple love each other this should not be any problem....=)

This is something that depends on the way that you were brought up. Virginity is something that to me was important and it was something that my family talked about quite a bit. I think that you should just go with the way that your were taught and if you were taught to hold off until you are married, hold off. This is a pretty sensitive topic and basically all I am telling you is to do what you think is write. Good luck and happy mylotting.
