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.

If you want to sleep with a bunch of people, then go for it. What I don't like is when people have tons of sex and end up having children with 6 different people and getting stds all over the place. If you can take care of yourself then do what you want. I personally don't enjoy that kind of lifestyle, but don't think I'm better than someone that does.
