Virginity

Skwim said:

This applies to both males and females

1. How important is retaining one's virginity? This assumes losing it would occur at an age you deem reasonable.

2. If you're no longer a virgin how important was losing it?

3. Did you lose it before or after marriage?

4. Was it a positive or negative experience?

5. How old do you feel a person should be before losing their virginity?

Retaining one's virginity is definitely not an important thing in my opinion. I'm no longer a virgin and it was a pretty big deal when I lost it. I lost my virginity before marriage. I've never been married and it has been a long time since I lost my virginity. My experience was neither positive or negative. That said, I don't think there is anyone right age to lose one's virginity. Whenever each partner feels like is best is probably best for them.

Virginity is a condition that is easily curable.

I was certainly more than happy to lose my virginity when it happened.

I'm not sure why it should be 'respected' any more than any other decision to not do something enjoyable.

On the other hand, sexuality is something to be respected.

The weird thing with virginity, is if someone doesn't have a regular sex life, then they sort of feel like a virgin again ironically.

While we have a common definition of virginity, I'd argue that abstinence and general lack of sex regardless of previous sexual experiences; is the true virginity.


But yeah, virginity isn't important or sacred IMO (then neither is sex either)

Depends on the person. It's like any other sexual taste.
