  • Its an Eastern herder thing hold-over...
    MANY a solitary Camel Herder or Shepard has been known to practice warm & wet 'animal husbandry'~
    Our protracted military deployment to the Middle East, bored Sentries with night vision binoculars and cameras have irrefutably confirmed allegations!

    a Mysoginistic primate fixation of being HER 'Alpha male'.
    To YOU unassailably being her concupiscent source of hereditary DNA
    in the event of conception. To irrefutably KNOW you've NOT been cuckolded.
    (the 'sneaky fucker' paradigm)

    Even the Hebrews whose culture is FLAMINGLY Patriarchal, only traces its physical lineage MATRIARCHIALLY... because, ONLY SHE concretely KNOWS whom has been afforded access to HER 'portal-of-Eternity'.

    In medieval Europe, the 'quaint' custom of requiring a newly-wed bride be taken to the "Laird of the castle"s bed rather than her bridegroom's on her wedding night. The term: "Sire" was rooted LITERALLY!

    The snarky Viking maxim: "RAPE, pillage THEN burn!" Historically, control of female fecundify was considered a 'resource'. "Virtuous" maidens ONLY copulated when proscribed by their male overseers~

  • The eastern culture is more into religion and spirituality. This culture advices that sex is a medium of procreation and it should not be considered a medium of entertainment. Now people have widely moved out of that orthodox spirituality thing, however, the roots being same this glorification to a virgin still exists. It also shows that such a person has a control over his deeds, is reliable, sensible, loyal and of a good character.

    If it's about a female, it's highly considered that she should be a very dignified lady as she has to mother and raise a child. As in the older setup, males remained out of the house for whole day to earn a living for family, while females handled complete household chores. Now, since the child remains with the mother/ females (in a joint family) all the time, he ought to learn all good/ bad things from her. So, if a mother herself is not dignified, how will she make her children dignified? And for a society as a whole, it's important that people remain dignified and respect each other's family and ladies and children so they feel themselves to be in a safe environment. After all we're humans and not animals who get into polygamy and bear no relationships and responsibilities as such.

    It's a very big and debatable topic for discussion.

    • And I'm from India.. the eastern part of the world 🌎

    • Update: As mentioned above, the culture expects having sex for the divine reason of procreation and women are expected to be dignified. They perform the act as a duty for the same. They're afraid of revealing their desires as it may be considered a taboo and they may lose their honor. So the question of compatibility doesn't arise. And when you don't know the extent of pleasure one can have, what's there to compare with anyway? However, things have come a long way and people are even starting to reveal their sexual orientations, leave apart the virginity. But yes, there are still reservations especially in smaller towns and cities.

  • You can teach a virgin. I mean you can teach anyone something new (sexually) but virgins are often physically pure. Not all are emotionally pure or innocent... but knowing they haven't been with anyone is a turnon for some... Others worry about the emotional attachment or physical pain that will come with taking someones virginity, so those find it offputting. I personally would prefer a virgin over a nonvirgin

  • Sorry, not my area at all. I have nothing to add here.

    @syrian_survivor seems to have answered it pretty well.

    @jamie05rhs have anything to comment here?

    • Thank you! What did you think of my opinion? :3

    • Thanks for the shout-out, @AmandaYVR. @Syrian_survivor I agree with everything you said. Our beliefs are exactly the same!

    • @Syrian_survivor Yeah, like I said, it's really not my area and I don't have strong opinions about this at all. I think you explained it well (but admittedly, you've added a bunch more and I just read the first part). That's really all I have to say. These are just different beliefs, different ways of living. I don't impose my beliefs just because they are different. It's all good 👍.

  • With the average easterner being under 5 inches, they had to take some precautions.
    And so, patriarchal culture was born.

    Your wife can't complain when she doesn't know that a 4.5 one pump chump isn't all that is out there.

    • Oml this is so refreshing to hear!

  • I don't know why we do it I know why I do it it's not really to glorify is this a you are cool you are stronger than me because I couldn't do it and I didn't want to do it and even though I feel like I am the new version virgin today because I haven't been laid in a year I just hold lots of respect for them for being stronger than me, and that's better than me

  • Old, ancient reasons that have their origins in religion.
    Stuff that we should be ditching in these days and age.

  • They are seen as pure as nobody has had them but for the guys that like that stuff its the whole she has nobody to compare him too as he is the only person she has been with

  • Shitty old religion. Religion is the cause of most dumb beliefs and hypocritical too cause virgin guy = bad, virgin girl = good.
    Now if your more west you can have it the more Virgin is just bad either way and this is due to less and more people becoming less religious or following the doctrine idea of virgin = pure.
    Here it's more like if your a virgin, you probably have mental issues or had super bad luck. I have both yay!

    • Finally someone with brains

  • I think it's about the mental baggage..

    • Interesting. Tell me more.

    • Say if you have a cat and that cat dies.. you'll be reminded of it whenever, even if you get a new cat. Same with people and partners that maybe leave away Emotional attachments maybe leave mental scarring when they break. In the case that some went s*dual without finding that meaningful partner or that "someone" they liked, maybe people think they're not the kind of people they want to associate themselves with..

    • Ah, makes a lot sense.

  • Virgins are glorified? High school teens say otherwise. If you're a guy, you're laughed at for it. Peer pressure convinces one to lose it.

  • Because VAGINA ARE GLORIOUS...

    We all were Born from a VAGINA! .

    It deserves to be respected and glorified

    • Woah dude. Did you just blow my mind?

    • Problem is you see Vagina as sex organs!.. That's what your school taught!. It's a lot more than that!.. It's birth canal.. And the door to heaven and the way in and out for Life itself..

    • Okay you lost my admiration. But good for you.

  • Cuz they're pure. Unadulterated.
    But really, in reality, we don't. I'm relatively sure it means more to YOU.

    Virginity isn't a condition or a malady that needs to be fixed or cured.

  • for archaic and religious reasons. short and simple. i wouldn't say that has anything particularly to do with culture, cause you see that across every culture on the planet.

  • Well, I don't think we do glorify virgins. I think it just seems that way to some people. I think it's just a matter of comparison.

    My personal view is that everyone should save sex for marriage. So, being a virgin before getting married should be normal and common. The only reason why it isn't is because of the erosion of moral values in the Western world.

    I want to build virgins up and encourage them, because they are now a minority and they are often bullied a lot. That's all. If there wasn't such an outright assault on virginity by the rest of society, then this wouldn't be much of an issue. It wouldn't even be talked about.

    • What if a person doesn't wanna get married

    • I don't believe in harassing anyone because they're virgins. Sex mustn't be pressurized but recreational sex is actually good for you. You can do it with a friend..

    • Well, I disagree with your opinion. But to each their own.

  • No clue, I sure as hell don't.

  • I don’t know I’m Chinese not Indian and you seem to be asking Indians since your nationality is Indian.

  • I'm middle eastern and it's pretty much a sign of purity and it is highly valued, I kinda agree with that. Here anyone can lose their virginity as long as they can get married, a person can get married if their social and financial status are good enough for a woman of around the same status level, we kinda have a different system here.
    Promiscuity is very frowned upon and hookups/casual sex are highly unpopular, though sadly growing.
    And I don't think virginity is a sign of something wrong in the person, I mean I agree that in western societies yes, there's a higher chance that it means something is wrong with them since it's totally normal for someone to lose their virginity, it's not glorified there.
    But the ones who do keep it and can lose it whenever because they're really attractive, those ones I have lots of respect for because of their sheer willpower, and I find that really attractive too.

    • Sexual compatibility is a problem in such cultures, but it can be solved in several ways, sadly not many people follow that, especially the older generation. When couples are engaged, they should be able to pick up any sexual tension and maybe talk about it every now and then in all honesty, the mental and emotional part are the most important, if there's compatibility there, then any physical incompatibility would be solvable at least since their minds are compatible, the love is there, and they want to make each other happy. If emotional compatibility isn't there and they get married recklessly, then yeah, that's a failed marriage at least from the sexual standpoint. And hey, since both partners are virgins, they wouldn't exactly know what the perfect physical sexual compatibility feels like, so they can't compare, ignorance is bliss here. Also they would be "forced" to create the best sexual compatibility with their virgin partner, and that's something really special and creates a unique bond.

    • Yes indeed they can't "compare" but it results into unhappy marriages. You'd be surprised how many case histories we, as psychology students, have on failed relationships. 45 percent are based on "unhappy sexual life". A person who clearly hasn't gotten laid may underestimate the value of good sexual life. I think that's what happens with them.

    • I think people rush into sex way too early before they've had any kind of communication about it before, many couples abruptly jump into sex like it's an obligation in every relationship, you can't do that, that's not how it works, and I'm not talking about virgins here, just in general, knowing if you're on the same page and if your partner isn't sexually selfish and won't just try to get their own satisfaction. Talk about it, sext maybe, see if you would actually enjoy every part of it before jumping into it, many people don't understand those ideas. People undoubtedly know when they're feeling good or not in bed, it doesn't really matter whether they compare or not, like I said, if the emotional compatibility is there, they had the talk, and they're kinda on the same libido page, they HAVE to get through and make their sexual lives at least decent. I mentioned the no-comparing thing because sometimes even that communication and emotional compatibility isn't enough. Maybe a guy has had a crazy slutty sexy hooker before and he was into that shit so much, of course he can't compare that to his loving commited wife, it just doesn't make sense, same thing if the girl has had a huge black guy or something before and she wasn't able to walk after, no comparison. And yeah, honestly the thing is, sexual things are considered kinda taboo here which is why not many couples discuss that kinda thing when they're engaged, but they completely overlook how important those things are. I don't care if it's taboo, when I get engaged I'm gonna have such conversations with my fiancé and i dont care if it makes her uncomfortable, this is a life-long commitement and I won't pretend I don't have a dick.

  • Some people think virgins are the most pured form of the human body

  • Yes. Virgins are glorified in the East.
    Staying virgin till marriage is considered as something pure. Eastern people do not promote casual sex or hookups. Instead, they prefer to have sex with someone they truly love. Someone whom they believe would be their own for entire life.
    Not all, but most of us.

  • Not really a desirable thing for me. I value experience.

  • Why does GOD glorify a virgin also?

    • By the way... the 144 ,000 saved people going to Heaven are all men , and also vigin.

    • What the heck are you talking about?

  • It takes a great deal of will power to wait and save yourself for the right person, not everyone can do this, me personally it isn't that I want to do this, it's just that I've been so busy in my life fighting my
    Autistic-Like Social Anxiety, Foot-In-Mouth Syndrome, Cowardice, weakness, verbal weakness, brain deficiency after second head injury self-consciousness, slowness demons and my book writing and schoolwork that I haven't had the time to find someone to share that special moment with, just yet.
    Oh, but believe me, when I do, watch out. You would barely be able to get me on the phone.

  • I don't get it either!! I have only taken a few girls virginity. But that's when I, was younger. It doesn't appeal to me now.
