I asked myself this same question when I was in MIDDLE SCHOOL and had my own FRIENDS crack jokes about me still being a virgin. They associated losing your virginity with maturity, cool, freaky, etc while I just thought I wasn't old enough yet. So it just shows that everyone have a different mentality. (Some are narrow-minded..some are not)
narrow minded folks: believe that there is an age limit when it comes to being a virgin & also believe that if your still a virgin something must be wrong with you.
Sex is everywhere in today's society and is contiguously being glorified. people are gonna want to try it. I sorta know this guy who is saving sex for marriage because of religious reasons. Its not because he "cant get girls" as people sometimes say because he has a girlfriend. I asked this other guy about this girl, "why do she always look so sad?" His response"because she's still a virgin". so I don't know that's just how some people view sex. If you ain't getting "any" then something is wrong.
So essentially this social pressure is pretty much the exact same phenomenon as which with people tend to force others into smoking, or drinking alcohol? Dang, people can be terrible. I'm starting to think that with all this open sexuality flowing from the media, the world and everywhere, what actually qualifies as "something wrong" is the fact that people are so obsessed with it, and believe it's a necessity... I wonder how it's beneficial for anyone that it is 'being glorified'.
As cliche as this might sound, sex sells. The media feed it to people and people don't shun it. They embrace it. yes people are obsessed with it and believe its a necessity..yet have been able to survive WITHOUT it. *scratch head* Yes it's the same thing as pressuring others to smoke/drink. Society label things as "in", "cool", etc & everyone jumps on the bandwagon. but if you only care about what's cool to YOU & do what YOU feel like doing then don't let any of this affect you.
Because people are narrow-minded and can't think for themselves. It's the "herd mentality" as I've dubbed it. There are just some people out there that derive a sick sense of pleasure by making people feel ashamed of themselves. Something's seriously wrong with the people who attempt to shame anyone because they are not doing what they want you to do IMO.
And force you to do whatever they think is right, huh... Yeah... I wonder why it is as common as it is.
Because at my place, we get the impression that guys only marry virgin.
...that sounds stupid.
Well it's not all that stupid if we are looking for marriage. Culture difference is an important factor.
No, it's still stupid regardless. Technically, no matter what you do, you cannot predict the future, thus you might end up with a guy, be in a perfectly working relationship, have sex, then break up 3 years later due to completely unforeseen circumstances, in the worst case scenario even if neither party wants to. Yet, you will no longer be a virgin. Thus, virginity is overrated. The question is how important the person has to be for you to have sex with them, not whether you did or not.
Great question. I think it just has to do with today's society that we live in (United States). We often so sexual topics all around us. And since people are getting more and more into it, being a virgin or not is becoming more important to people. In today's society, if you are a certain age, and still a virgin, then there must be something wrong with you. I don't the way people think about virginity, but that,s how it is.
"If you are a certain age, and still a virgin, then there must be something wrong with you." That is such a stupid assumption. People who think along these terms should be ashamed of themselves.
Yeah. Not everyone feels ready, or has the opportunity to do it in their young years. There is nothing weird, or bad about that.
Because sex is a little more intimate than skiing, or eating ratatouille.
Which explains why people wait with it until they find someone worth 'losing it' with, but it does not explain why people are teased about it at the age of 16, called losers and are encouraged to lose their virginity as soon as possible.
No that's explained by social media outlets now, music, magazines, movies, tv, all showing sex making it the cool thing to do. So now kids think they're not cool if they don't because "everyone" does it.

Beats the f*** out of me.. I was thrilled to get rid of mine and I succesfully avoided virgins..<3
