Why is a woman’s virginity so important and sought after in many parts of the world?

Question

MrMysteryMan · Accepted Answer

You know what's funny, I didn't know a person's penis was so transforming that it will alter the very DNA of a person from "pure" (whatever that means) to tainted... Like is our penis that golden? Or is our penis, for that matter, that damaging or dirty that it taints purity?

I thought sex was a beautiful thing (maybe looks ugly at times though) that you shared with people you actually want to be with and share your emotions that you can not share any other way with someone you care for? Baring the times where people just have drunken sex or get rapped or what not. I suppose the most basic biological thing about sex is that it's main reason is for procreation, for all living beings. But, there are only a few beings on the planet, less than a handful that actually derive pleasure and emotional connection from it. Us being the most advanced of the species are blessed with this gift. And I'm not sure why that gift is looked down upon so much.

Yes, virginity or the ideal of it, since it's not a real physical thing really, may make the virgin feel special or significant or "pure" is it? It must be that the purity is a mental purity or an innocence kept, about the understanding of what that sexual union and the emotions that can be shared are about. Maybe kind of like how "God" wanted Eve not to eat from the "tree of knowledge and understanding". But that tree was about us knowing what good and evil is. Sort of keeping us in a state of human bliss, so as not to be tempted by what was created out of that, "sin". But even then, sex is not a evil act or it wouldn't be used for procreation. Neither are you guaranteed not to be of the understanding of "the sins of the flesh" even if you are a virgin. Also, are you really benefiting from being a virgin? To a point, sure. You won't really be open to sexual diseases. But really, I'm trying to think of what true benefits you are getting from virginity? From either having it or looking for one. There is no guarantee that one you are with a virgin, they will want to be with you and only you, even with marriage. On the same toke, there is no guarantee that you are going to love the person you're with because they are your first. Also, if anything, usually the sex is more emotional and intimate with someone that is NOT a virgin, since they understand already what is involved and what they want out of it or what will feel good for them and the other person.

This is the reason: And there are many other studies which show the same result.  Nowadays with the rise of feminism, hook-up culture and the idea that people should be free to fuck as many people they want without being shamed for it, people refuse to accept the truth that the likelihood of divorce increases when a person is more promiscuous. They think that the idea that virginity should be valued is "outdated", and that it's completely random. That someone can sleep with loads of people and that they're just as likely to stay married as someone who has stayed a virgin or has only had one or two partners, when the statistics prove otherwise. This was the original reason that virginity was so important and valued. Nowadays though, again with the rise of hook-up culture, the destruction of family values and the degenerate obsession with sex in modern culture, sex with a virgin has just become another sexual experience to add to the "bucket".

Brainstorming:
Honestly, I don't know because it isn't 100% needed (bc a woman can not have a hymen and still be a virgin or be a virgin during marriage and cheat later). Maybe it's more present in very patriarchal society because female sexuality would be less celebrated and men have more control over all aspects of a woman's life. Also, depending on the religion, this would play a huge part (however, if you look at different Christian and Muslim majority countries the difference in culture is incredible)

Final Decision: I think it's as one person said in the quora link, women were seen as property to be controlled for much of history. And so virginity was but one aspect to be controlled. In cultures were virginity is valued, most often women are also severely limited in everyday life and their opportunities, this is why I agree that it's more than just the virginity, it's about several factors religion, culture, and control.

It's from religions and cultures that value modesty of body parts before marriage. I am someone who agrees with the teachings and I think it applies to both men and women [if you follow the practices that is] to not have premarital relationships or engage in behaviors that make others look at you sexually [others who are not your spouse]
now for woman's virginity, the country i am from, it's not as religious but it holds some beliefs or traditions that make the women have the status of someone who is nurturing, strong and modest. and they are told to be cautious with guys [specially with those who have bad reputation or those who try to be friends but have flawed intention] because they fear that if the guy does something or they do something with each others' consent and gets pregnant then she will face bad reputation, in some culture people can be harsh since they are not as educated, so the girl faces hardship like gossips and backbites from other neighbors when she faces consequences of these kind of relationships.

CubsterShura · Accepted Answer

1) The first time is quite special so there is a matter of emotional attachment, I guess.
2) This is the main reason. If a woman isn't pure, tends to be promiscuous and all, then once she is pregnant no one can tell who is the real father. DNA test did not exist forever and even now not everyone can afford it. What if she brings another man's child in the family and that kid introduces a new genetic disease?

Whether or not I would be with non-violent depends on how he lost it. If he is divorced and lost it to his previous wife I'd be fine but if he has sex outside of marriage... Then I don't think so. Unless it's like he realized his mistake and us not doing it anymore. But losing one's virginity doesn't make someone impure.

I absolutely hate the way people talk about women like products 'don't buy if seal is broken' I could tell the same about men too, you know? That I don't wanna use something that has been used by others. I need a fresh, unused package. Absolute Bullshit. Humans aren't products.

LittleSally · Accepted Answer

I always get the feeling men think other men are disgusting and that they've 'corrupted' or spoiled the women (their bodies) they've slept with so they want one that hasn't had sex yet...
This is just what I've noticed.

lumos · Answer

Because humans are dumb and think that sex is somehow gross or something that ”taints” or ”ruins” a person, when in reality, a mindset like that is a million times more damaging. It gives people a seriously unhealthy view of sex and women. It’s up there with porn when it comes to unrealistic standards.

MzAsh · Answer

Taking a woman’s virginity signals ownership to the male it goes to. I think it’s a prehistoric idea we could do without.

JimRSmith · Answer

Plenty of good reasons, I guess.

She won't have stds. She won't have children to feed without the support of a partner. Those are just off the top of my head.

Unlike what plenty of people her would have us believe, it's not all about oppression by some imaginary patriarchy.

I'd add the coda that in western countries, many of these reasons are no longer applicable, but that there are valid historical reasons why they were socially important.

madhatters4 · Answer

silly of notions of female purity and quality as a partner most likely based on religious tenants

NineBreaker · Answer

I think that there are a number if reasons because different cultures may have different beliefs about virginity and sexuality generally.

One aspect is the archaic belief in Telegony.

A Google search gives you this Wikipedia entry:
Telegony a theory in heredity, holding that offspring can inherit the characteristics of a previous mate of the female parent; thus the child of a widowed or remarried woman might partake of traits of a previous husband. Experiments on several species failed to provide any evidence that offspring would inherit any character from their mother's previous mates.[1][medical citation needed] A similar phenomenon, whereby environmental (non-genetic) traits were passed, was later discovered in a species of fly.
Source: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telegony_(pregnancy)

Even if people don't believe in it today, it may still influence people's customs today. I speculate that it may have arised from human beings observing that some animals have females with the ability to store a male's sperm for future use like in some birds and reptiles (Source: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_sperm_storage .) Basically, Female and Male 1 copulate, and sure is stored. Human beings observe Female copulating with Male 2 but Male 1 stored sperm fertilizes the eggs. So the offspring resemble Male 1, and not Male 2.

skytatoe · Answer

Well I think a lot of guys value stability deep down. They like to have an area of their life completely sorted so they can focus on sth else.
A lot like the idea of permanency, undying love, a marriage that doesn't break, bond that lasts forever etc...

Past behaviour is a known predictor, though in no way absolute, of future behaviour. So a woman who has had boyfriends, has hooked up, has broken up is likely to do it again. So when a man enters a relationship with that girl or marries her, its not settled. Its not over. Because he still always has to put in effort, potentially keep competing with other possibly better men. Because if he doesn't and the relationship goes to shit, he may lose her.

A vigin is of course no guarantee of anything. But I think probably guys like that idea that she will be there, she won't go looking for anything else because that's all she's known or wants.
Then also a virgin is likely to have less standards to impose since she has less experience and thus some guys might like that they can be more in control through that aspect.

Finally there's also an ego thing. When you like a girl usually its uncomfortable to go picturing other dudes railing her. So having a girl that a bunch of other guys have slept with is damaging to that ego. Its breaking that iddea that you're so amazing that you're the only one she could ever want or be with, that you're special.
Further, a lot of guys take another guy touching their girlfriend as a mark of disrespect. So perhaps a girl with a past of other guys sleeping with her can be translated into a loss of respectability for the guy since he has a girl who has been touched by other guys, who he's let other guys be with (even though he wasn't even there at the time).

I think all of these factors are the answer to why its so sought after. Of course it varies from person to person and there could be entirely different reasons but that how I think it most probably is.

Anonymous · Answer

I am 20 and I keep it till I fall for someone. I can’t even count I could fuck tons of guys by far but how would I feel about my body?
I want to love the person I’ll have my first time with and I want him to love me too, so It will be special for both of us. Even if we break up later I need to know that I loved him and he loved me and what we had was beautiful.

That being said I have a high sex drive and If not my self control I would be a very experienced slut probably 😂

Instead of leaving part of me to many guys I’d rather commit to someone I pove and express all of me to him, with my high drive and all.
I don’t wait till marriage, I wait till I find a true love, so I won’t have to regret that I had my first time with a man for who I was just another girl.

Does this make sense?

moonyshiner · Answer

For me my virginity is very precious to me it has a sentimental value I promised my self no matter how many times I date or fall in love, there is only one man who can take it from me and that's the man who look at my heart first before my body. And I still didn't meet that man lol.

coralee · Answer

It's a remnant of our primitive past that many people have yet to let go of. You have to remember that a part of our brain is still wired to "continue the species" on some level most of us do have the instinct to reproduce. Before the invention of a paternity test, the only way to ensure that you were in fact the father of the child you were raising was to make "sure" your wife never had sex with anyone else. Virginity was one of the protections against inadvertently wasting all your resources raising another man's child. The thing is most of their virginity tests are demonstrably false. Most of the common knowledge surrounding the hymen is an utter myth, and that was proven back in the 70's (a doctor was examining a 50 year old prostitute who low and behold had a perfectly intact hymen.) It's the ghost of another time, one that needs to be thrown out as it has no real world value anymore.

girl2034 · Answer

I am still a virgin and the only reason I still am is because I believe in god and am too scared to give it away to just some random man I have the hots for.. Also the emotional/spiritual connection you can have with that person if the sex was good can stick with you for the rest of your life. There's a reason why it says in the bible you become as one with the person you slept with..

lilaqua · Answer

It’s an inheritance thing. You’ll find that it was really important in cultures that are patrilineal (eg most) since they had no way of proving the man’s child was his own so ensuring a virgin was important. In the very few matrilineal societies it didn’t matter because the man’s status didn’t reflect on the child only the mother’s. It also only really mattered in wealthier families, where inheritance was an issue. For most peasant people it wasn’t an issue, because there was nothing to inherit. Peasant personal lives are actually quite interesting in Europe, they kind of just fucked around until one got pregnant and often married for love.

oOsecret_starlandsOo · Answer

Pride thing.

Same men who want virgins, are the same ones who want multiple virgin wives.

Note how men boast of themselves for having lots of women.

Not ashamed that men view us so gloriously, as treasure they want to hoard and have in abundance, but its all just a status thing.

We haven't exactly drifted away from our ape mindsets, so men still have an instinctive drive to have a high rank on competing with other male competition, as women still have an instinct for their men to be outstandingly resourceful - ya know, for da babies n all.

Its pretty obvious - what dominates a mans world?

1.) WOMEN
2.) Money
3.) Status / Power
4.) Strength
5.) Beer (lol)

#2-5 is just to achieve #1.

#5 is a perk to assist him when confidence is low.

Lol, women are #1 to men always.

We were made to sit on his strong, wealthy, powerful shoulders

😆😆😆

buttercupupup · Answer

Because men throughout time have been obsessed with the idea of owning a woman's sexuality, and ensuring that the woman has never had any other partners makes it easy to do that, as it allows the man to completely control her sexual experience. A virgin in a sexually repressed society will literally know nothing other than what their first partner teaches them, allowing him to talk control of her sexual identity.

dropkicknj13 · Answer

Personally I think it's just ingrained in society, so now people don't really have a reason. Way back when it made sense. We didn't have protection or contraceptives so a virgin was you safest bet to not get a disease or raise a child that's secretly someone else's. Oh but also, science shows that you have a higher chance of success in your relationship the fewer sexual partners you have, so maybe people noticed that a long time ago too?

Anonymous · Answer

To be honest, it doesn't really mean anything more than a sentimental value. Like an old teddy bear your mother gave you, it may not be of real value but it could be if you yourself treasure it to be so. I am still a virgin but it's really not due to religion or cultural pressures, I just keep it due to my romantic idealism lol.
That being said, if a guy has such a big problem about a girl being a virgin, it really says more about him and his ego, insecurities and inflexibility over anything. Just because a girl is not a virgin, does not mean she is any less special or more loving or purer at heart than virgins. I know slutty virgins who did everything and still has her hymen intact (I guess backdoor activity still allows a person to be a virgin).

mateus · Answer

It's a leftover from history. Back in the day before DNA testing the only way to know for sure that the kids you are raising are yours as a man was to get a virgin and get her pregnant yourself. If the girl was not virgin there was a chance that you will raise someone else's kids and your genes will not get passed to the next generation. So from an evolutionary stand pont it was beneficial to go for a virgin. Now things are different but it will take time for humans to get rid of the habit. Today virginity is not as valuble as before except in religious cultures. Eventually it's value will decline as humans continue to evolve and it's evolutionary benefit is becoming obsolete.

FriendlyDrugDealer · Answer

It’s not simply because he’s a virgin and prefers to be with another virgin OR it’s religious related then it’s simply an insecurity.

Dudes who seek virgins only besides those two reasons I just mentioned, pull up a chair because you need to hear this.

Why the hell does a virginity of a woman mean so much? Are you afraid of not measuring up to some standards of hers? If she’s clean and has no kids then I don’t see what the big deal is! I think you shouldn’t project your insecurities on others and actually do something about it by admitting your problems.

trehay · Answer

because the virginity Is very valuable and because once u give it up u can get it back its gone u can only lose it once in the life and guys respect girls who r still virgins. Its more lady like to just not hand it over that what I think

Bubbyisad · Answer

I mean this isn’t necessarily like part of the world, but like as a Christian it’s cause if u think about it would you want to know your partner (in marrige) has had sex with someone else? Probably not. Plus the main reason we have sex is to get pregnant. That’s why sex was created. And for those of you who say it’s for pleasure, yes it is but do you see dogs going around having sex with each other for pleasure? Maybe but the main reason is to get pregnant.

wise1answersall · Answer

If you look back into human history you will find that it used to be taboo for women and men alike to have sex before marriage. A man used to give his father in law to be a dowry for his daughters hand. You can look at like paying the man for his daughters virginity if you wish but there was much to it than that and was steeped in deep tradition to say the least. I wish people would realize that context matters. You can't take things from the past and compare them to the rules of society we live by now. It's like trying to put a triangle in a round hole... useless.

TheHolyDarkness · Answer

Because ideally, the man and woman should lose their virginity to each other, entwined not just in lust sex, but soulmate quality sex.

It's only hypocritical when men who sleep around expect their wife's to be virgins.

I am a no sex till marriage kind of guy. To ensure that there is zero (absolute zero) chance in my woman's mind that I'll cheat on her.

I suppose she need not return the favor. But the fact that I haven't slept around and she has will always create the suspicion that I find her suspicious.

It's all about trust I suppose.

Ask only for the standard you'd apply to yourself.

brennanhuff · Answer

A lot of cultures can be pretty oppressive, look at some in the middle east. It's a sense of control on women. The more hierarchal the culture, the more likely the less rights women have, greater poverty and difference between classes, etc. It's about a sense of control for women though and probably religious beliefs of her being pure. It started as a way for a man to know if he's the father if a woman has a child, but I believe many countries have contraceptives so there hasn't been a need for that. But like I said it's a way of controlling women's sexuality.

Buckzor · Answer

There are so many strange and outdated views on here clearly passed down from mother to daughter.

I think the single biggest reason is either religion, or the "effects" women are worried about from having one sexual relation with a "random" or man who she's not married to, such as unplanned pregnancy, STI's and the backlash they assume they'll receive. Along with the want and need to emoritnal attachment for sake of family. Quite a few other factors I imagine but those are the main ones IN MY OPINION.

I mean it has been that long since women are just NOW getting equal rights. And its not even caught up across the globe yet

1. Its what they have offered men for many years. It gave them value. And it still does in many cultures today. For instance still today in many cultures The man has priority pick of girls. Obviously the virgin girl makes his dick harder so he wants her. Giving her more value. Thats one

2. Women put the pussy on a pedastool. Always making their pussys out to be part of royalty, gods gift to the world

... woman just like lock
and guy = key
a key that can open all lock = master key
a lock that can be open by lots of key = broken lock.
This how world work and it is not fair. but nothing we can do about it.

well from what i know woman use heart and guys use mind.
guy can hire an escort without any feeling at all only pleasure. while i think most woman can't do that. so for me virgin is important coz she never have sex before = higher chance that she won't cheat later on if I treat her right, and i don't need to worry if her ex (which have sex with her before) gonna come in our life.

milk-and-honey · Answer

I know it's always been this traditional thing and I'm often one to break tradition anyway, but even I think there's something really special and almost sacred about loving somebody in that full capacity for their first time.. whether it be a shitty experience or not.

Chaz269 · Answer

Everyone likes to feel special. More specifically, most people, men AND women, prefer to feel like "the one". Relationships end every single minute of every single day when one partner fails to make the other feel like the one. The only reason male virginity isn't as highly valued is because most women still heap the entire responsibility of their own arousal, stimulation and satisfaction their fellas. There's no earthly reason to fairly expect a virginal male to be capable of achieving or surpassing such lofty goals.

Wollu · Answer

VonDamme · Answer

Great question, archaic beliefs that this is what makes a woman pure and righteous. Religious rigmarole. People not understanding anatomy and thinking virgins are magically tighter than anyone ever and you're only tight once as if your penis is so powerful it could destroy the integrity of an entire muscle group in one blow (pun intended).

I'm sure there's more.

Anonymous · Answer

Sex, ultimately can't be separated from its biological purpose, creating babies/offspring. If you look at other animals, such as bears; they actually kill babies belonging to other males, for completion and rights to females and spreading their genes. The idea of a female choosing multiple males, makes males feel insignificant, not special, and also they feel, the behavior of sexual relations with many males makes them impure. Meaning, it’s a hostile person and biological environment to grow “their” baby. Also, that feeling comes from both religious teachings as well as challenges males emotional attachment to love, because when males hit puberty, the girls who they are infatuated with are usually virgins, and that stays with them forever

I heard back in the day females was property to men and if they was used they will lose value now later on in life around the 1960 men were falling in love same as women was getting equal rights but the virginity rule stills apply to females. I think maybe it's because females are more powerful so men try to make them look bad as a tactic that was used for many years. I understand female have a right to do anything with their body's. They are not objects or animals but human beings. You really gotta dig deep into the past and see why stuff was started than you will get your answer

Hyped_up_on_coffee · Answer

Because they are primitive and don’t understand that there is birth control now. Also religion stigmatized it as a precious vagina gift. Also men know that they can be the #1 man if no one has been there before... which just shows off how insecure guys who only want virgins are. A girl can’t tell you that you have a baby dick if yours is the only one she has seen.

Anonymous · Answer

Well, in my experience, women who have had a few sex partners tend to be pickier about sex. I’ve been with virgins who said the sex was absolutely amazing and every time we kept having sex, they loved it. I’ve also been with women who have quite a bit of sex partners and sex with them isn’t that great because they are too picky about everything and very particular about sex, which takes the fun out of it. Experienced women want better sexual experiences and are easier to disappoint if the sex isn’t where it needs to be. Virgin women or women who have had sex a few times aren’t that picky about sex and are open to a lot of things.

SunnySonia · Answer

1. Make ego 2. Women are supposed to raise the children and men the bread earners. So women are expected to educate their children and imbibe good deeds in them for the better of society. Since polygamy is not acceptable in society openly, no one wants their children to learn one such bad deed from their mother

Logorithim · Answer

The expectation that most women be virgins has changed in many parts of Asia, by the way.  I think it's due to the very outmoded thinking that a non-virgin woman is "used goods" and to ensure that paternity is assured when a child is born to her. Parents and other relatives married under the traditional thinking are often wedded to it and expect their children to follow the tradition as well.

skel47 · Answer

Because women are the vessels for offspring and through history have been seen as a part of beauties meaning. In doing so virginity in Christian culture is important and was relevant through the ages until the end of the 19th century. Basically women are pretty and christianity made it sinful to lose your virginity before marriage (infamy at its finest)

ahworst · Answer

First, virgin can be defined as someone who hasn't had sex, but that only tell you what a virgin isn't, so what is a virgin? I heard another definition that I liked, "someone who is totally ready for union." In this understanding, I think it is obvious that that kind of person is desirable.  One other comment is, obviously since the 70s in the US, we pretty much threw out the idea of waiting for marriage and now we have the highest rates of infidelity, divorce and it seems everyone talks about how terrible marriage is because they didn't enter into it with the right intentions, and they were not totally ready for union.

Anonymous · Answer

In the past, when people didn't have contraception, people didn't want their daughters to have offsprings without being married. So they started controlling their sexuality. In male-dominated countries, it is still OK to do that. In my country, it is still important and I save myself not for the God or my future husband but because I am afraid of what people are going to talk behind my back about my parents. If it wasn't that I would have probably done at uni with my crush (btw we broke up cause he was from another country and in his country it was not big deal)

OatsnWhey · Answer

Women can be offended all they want, but men will always be possessive with the women they love, and knowing your woman has been used by a ton of other guys isn't a great feeling. All these sexually liberated women can sleep with whoever they choose, but they can't get mad when other men judge them. They're entitled to their judgement and women will almost always lower their value by sleeping around carelessly.

Stoner710 · Answer

Virgins have traditionally been thought as pure. And of course it’s mainly women. So culture believes it’s the Ultimate pure thing a women can have there mind isn’t corrupted by the touch of a man so they must be able to doing thing with that purity like have visions of the future (that’s just Ancient Greece).

Because guys love sex and women are supposed to not love sex so getting a girl that will have sex with you and no other guys makes you feel great. In my opinion sex should regarded as a spiritual practice but that doesn’t necessarily mean you should only do it with one person just someone you love

It's important because virgin men seeks someone virgin as well. It's more fun two couples exploring themselves to something new they've never experienced in their lives. And the feeling of blessing is different. I'm still virgin as a man & hope for same. It would not be fun with someone who's already had a master's degree on it for me, as that feels dominant and one sided instead of two sided exploration & discovery.

Until recently, virginity was the best/only way to increase your likelihood of not getting an STI and increasing the likelihood that all the children were (at least initially) yours.  In addition, girls got married much earlier (remember Juliet was 14) AND menarche usually started later, so it was only a matter of keeping an eye on them for a year or two after full puberty. This became the "right thing" and was incorporated into tradition.
