Why is it some people look down on you for being a virgin?

While it may not be widespread, I've seen a lot of posts on here that seemingly make it out to be like you're looked down upon for being as such. I for one don't see anything wrong with being a virgin at a young age, or why people seem to be so critical of people who have never had sex. However, why do you think that some people do look down on virgins?

  • A huge majority of girls who lost their virginity before marriage and are under the age of 25 regret it later on. And there are more divorces among those were not virgins before marriage than among those who were. I mean, 2 virgins, coming together, and pleasing each other, only each other, and trying their hardest to learn what the other wants, and only thinking of the other when they do it. Those people have had such self control, self control that keeps them from cheating, or perhaps doing what one would not like the other to do in marriage. Self control. And hey, maybe they wish they could have done it! I don't know, that's what I think... By resisiting all the sex urges, and people who want it from me, I always think more about pleasing my future wife, and how great it will feel when I do it. I mean, for all the times I didn't do it with everyone else, I will do it with the one woman that means everything to me, more than a girlfriend would mean to me, what a wife would mean to me. And by making this woman happy, she will make me heppy, and we will have one connection, one connection we never shared with anyone else, thus making it untainted, and stronger.

    And that is from the heart of one virgin, who knows many married people like that as well. So, people can think what they want, I mean, to me, all those people that think I am stupid, are just another little temptation I overcome, and realize, that I can get the absolute best girl by being this way. I can get another virgin, by being one myself, a girl who feels the way I do, and that is why it works for us at least. We are a different type :D. Lol, but that is all my little opinion, based on myself, and people I know, and how I feel inside.

  • My younger sister who is 2 years younger than me is a beautiful girl. Very fun, very sweet, but has her morals and a lot of class. She has the attention of majority of my friends who've called "dibs" on her, but in learning that she's a virgin, have changed their minds. Almost like they look down on her for it. I pride my parents for raising us to respect ourselves and teaching us to make sound personal decisions. I think it's a great thing that someone can remain a virgin until they feel the time is right to give that up.

    • Damn, that's awful how her 'friends' have changed their minds on her for something really so small such as that. Perhaps they're just jealous because they think she has better values!

    • Virginity has nothing to do with values.As this is one reason many people do not care for virgins,many virgins and people in general have this mentality that virginity=Better person,better values,and better judgment when it in fact doesn't.And many virgins have a "holier than thou" mentality

    • Oh, perhaps. But maybe they do have a 'holier than thou' mentality. Can the same not be said about non-virgins?

  • Ignorance,Insecurity and Jealousy.

    If one is secure with themselves,they have no reason or feel no reason to pry into other people's sex lives or judge someone for their sex history/life or lack of.

    Fact is,sex is natural and healthy and it is ALSO a personal activity and issue.It is an individual choice.

    The people on here preaching about how saving sex for marriage is right are 100% wrong,it is right for them,not everybody.

    The people on here preaching about how stupid saving sex is or how stupid celibacy is or how prudish it is to do so are 100% wrong,it is wrong for them and stupid to them,not for everybody else.

    Some view it as "Antique" or immature or inexperienced.

    A huge factor is that it means you don't give into media and social pressures of society

  • don't sweat it, Sex is highly overrated. What's better than sex? the romance, the love and passion along with it. everyone can masturbate and get the same EXACT feeling on their own. Its the other stuff that is important...sex is gravy.

    Again...don't sweat it. you are due for some action sooner or later.

    • Worry less about sex and concentrate on LOVE. that's what you want and need. Now why do SOME non-virgins look down on Virgins? I guess they are childish, sounds like a childish idea to look down on someone because of that. Why should someone with half a brain worry about where you stick or don't stick your penis?

    • Love isn't for everyone and neither are relationships.To you sex isn't important,to others it is.Those who say sex isn't important to a relationship are lying to themselves,even if it's marriage,sex is important

    • "Those who say sex isn't important to a relationship are lying to themselves," I agree with that BUT that has nothing to do with what the original poster was talking about. He was wondering why some non virgins look down on virgins. I told him all that assuming he might be a virgin himself and was trying to make him feel better about his situation....if that is his situation. Also you are right, love isn't for everyone but unfortunatly 99% of the human population craves it, its natural.

  • nothing wrong with that mate.

  • cause they weren't strong enough to lose it to someone they at least cared about. They caved to peer pressure...and now that they regret it, they have to make themselves feel better.

  • i wonder the same thing man. everyone's life is different and needs to be responded to accordingly. for some people it's actually better for them that they wait. that's what they want. so why other people discriminate against that is beyond me.
