I don't quite understand why we even have the concept. There's two completely different sides that are weighted just as heavily as each other.
On the one hand, keeping your virginity until marriage is praised. This most likely originated from some religious belief on how you're "pure" for your future spouse. Another added benefit is that you don't end up on MTV's Teen Mom 2. Why we even have two of these is beyond me.
It's much different from a social standpoint. If a guy loses his virginity quickly he's seen as "cool". Why is that cool? Somebody explain this to me. I've always [i]tried[/i] to save myself for marriage. Although I failed, I'm not necessarily mad that I did.
Discuss.

Saving yourself till marriage could lead to severe disappointment. You need to experience sex with different people. If you don't and only save yourself for one person you'll be left wondering what it's like to be with another person later down the road. Always practice safe sex though. It helps to explore sex to kill some of the curiosity.
