IS VIRGINITY OLDFASHIONED or is a RELIGIOUS stuff?

Answer 1

Virginity is still important for religious resons AND health reasons. No form of birth control is safe, so you know you run the risk of having a baby. Children generally turn out best when they are the product of a marriage and live with both parents (though this is debatable in some relationships). Also, extramarital sex spreads disease. If everyone saved themselves for their spouse and never had extramarital sex, STDs would virtually disappear.

Maintaining virginity until marriage is a religous idea, yes, but also a very good one for other reasons, too.

Answer 2

I do not believe that virginity is old-fashioned. But this doesn't make me a nerd who doesn't know how to keep in pace with the advances around her. I am 16, and around myself, in the society, I see many teens experiencing sex and having a good time. I believe that there IS something beyond the mere bodily urge. After all you have to feed you moral and spiritual soul (this does not necessarily mean your religious soul). For myself, I have chosen what's the best. Abstinence till marriage.
I asked this question some time ago 'on saving sex'. A majority said they hadn't. They treated it all like a 'car' saying that won't you test-drive it before buying? I felt bad on how poor the minds of people today have become. A sacred thing as sex has become of such a low value that you can try it with any and many people.
Well, actually I am an Indian Christian. My country is very religious. Multi-religious actually. Every religious teaches harmoniously. The truth is that we the oldest to lose our virginity and have the least no of sexual partners in the world (mostly only one). There are very few divorces. People know what's meant by fidelity. Love is what matters here. Though we may not be extremely high-tech and a top country, but after all we are all so very happy.
The church teaches to save sex. And that is FOLLOWED here. The truth is that virginity until marriage is taught religiously and it DOES make a positive difference in the lives of the people who follow it.
Even if you're an atheist, it would be valuable to save sex, for your moral soul, if not your religious soul.

Answer 3

I've seen some really good answers here. I particularly liked Heather D's answer. I don't think virginity is old fashioned or religious. Some people base remaining a virgin until marriage on their religion but ultimately I think it's a personal choice of each individual whether to remain a virgin or not. While it's more common for people in this generation to lose their virginity at a younger age, it's not old fashioned to save it, not necessarily for marriage but until you feel the time is right and you're ready to share yourself with someone on that level. To me it's more than just a sexual experience that you're having. It's also a very emotional and for some spiritual experience.

Answer 4

In Eastern cultures, virginity is still considered extremely important. No man would like to marry a woman who is not a virgin. If a man finds out that his wife is not a virgin, that would rign the death knell of his marriage.

There are some societies that exhibit the blood stained linen after the first night to prove the virginity of the bride. (Blood due to the breaking of the hymen)

Answer 5

Virginity is a religious thing for some people and a moral thing for others. What's important is what you believe and that you do what is best for you. These days, though, it might not be a bad idea to remain a virgin for a while due to disease, pregnancy, and bad relationships.

Answer 6

Umm.. Virginity isn't old fashioned, or religious at all... In fact, it is a physical attribute of someone who has not partaken in sexual intercourse.

If you are wondering, however, if it is old fashioned or religious to remain a virgin... it is neither. It is a personal choice. There are many reasons behind each person's choice, and it cannot be categorized into one or the other.

Answer 7

Well, both since being a virgin now is so "odd". Sometimes you can say to someone your a virgin... they start laughing..It's not a joke!

I swear they do NOT believe you. It's not fair how we're based on others actions. It can be religious; it's the way you base it on. Don't base on others but yourself. But it's your body and nobody elses.. we should not think of it as old fashion. We should start worshiping our body again. Not to waste it.

Answer 8

All the health and social reasons mentioned above are a good reason to limit your partners.
I'm a virgin because I want to give the ultimate gift to my husband.
Somebody told me once to treat the person you're out with like somebody else's spouse until they are your spouse. How would you like your spouse to be though of and treated in that situation? I think of that often.
I don't want to put my choices onto anybody else including him. I don't have to marry a virgin but that would be cool. I don't want to marry somebody with a slutty reputation.

Answer 9

It's a religious thing and for some Virginity and religion are old-fashioned.

Answer 10

Virginity is whatever you want to make of it. I think that virginity is a religious virtue, and since I am not religious, I get to decide for myself when I want to have sex.
