it's important if you think it is - you don't need anyone else to tell you whether it is or not

Abstinence is a lost art. Virginity used to be a "big deal"..Back when people had standards and society was moral, a girl losing her virginity to anyone other than the one she was married to was frowned upon. I'm not quite sure when it stopped being important. To some religious groups maintaining your virginity is still important. It is important to some families as well. You are right. People do say that you should preserve your virginity for the man you will marry but i cannot think of one person I know that has saved his or herself.

A man skipped work and instead got drunk in a bar, staggeringly drunk. They should have taken his keys from him; they didn't. On his way home he got into a one car accident. His right arm was crushed. They had to amputate it. He should have been at work, but
he made the choice to skip, and the consequence was horrific. No matter how much he regrets his choice; no matter how much he yearns to undo the consequence, there is no taking it back.
Promiscuous sex is kind of like that. Do you think people with HIV wish to take their choices back? Well, here are some sobering facts: 1 in 5 Americans are infected with an STD. 80% of them don't know it yet. STD's are contagious even if there are no symptoms present. In the 1970s, one adolescent in 47 contracted a STD. Today, that figure is one in four. There is no cure for HIV, Genital Herpes, or Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). Of the approximate 25 major STD's, Herpes and HPV are by far the most prevalent. There is no pill to prevent STD's and condoms are useless in preventing STD's. Condoms have so many microscopic flaws in them, that the STD virus just flows right in. So how can some promiscuous person not get infected?
Even so-called one relationship at a time people are not just having sex with one partner at a time, but in a sense with every partner their partner has had. There is only one way to not get an STD and that is to wait for the right person with whom you can have a lifetime commitment. You need to adjust your thinking. You are worth the wait. Why settle for what every Tom, Dick and Jane settle for. You want the best. Do you want to settle for Herpes or worse? Do you want to settle with a partner you don't get along with? Do you want to settle with an unwanted pregnancy? The choice is yours. Make the best choice and wait. Why rush down the same broad trail that everyone else is rushing down? The trail ends at the same place: STD's, heartbreak, divorce, abortion, unwanted pregnancies, misery, unhappiness, unfaithfulness, betrayals. Be one of the few who make a better choice.

Yeah i honestly agree with Free Spirit, you should wait, it'll be worth it....Sex isnt just a mere physical act but it is a much deeper connection between two hearts and souls, in another word, it is a celebration of love at its highest level i.e. marriage. I am 24 and a virgin, and am not ashamed (in fact, proud) to say it. I know that when the right man comes along and wishes to spend the rest of his life with me, it'll be most special, for both of us. Same goes to you! Good luck girl! =)

it's a mistake. If you marry as a virgin, soon you will want to see how it is with other men, your marriage goes to the can, your husband then has to shoot his bitchy wife, end of story.
I would say you should "give in" to a guy you really like an see what's all about ,live your life, then when the time comes you will know. A future husband has to be tried before , not everyone matches in bed.

Virginity is important in some cultures. Also for religious sects. But today, virginity doesn't matter for the majority because they don't care of its importance for wife and husband relationship. One of the best gifts a man can have after their wedding with his wife.

I think virginity is very important to both men and woman. You have to keep a little mystery in the relationship so you can have something to take to the next level.
Many people these days aren't into lasting relationships cause they can get sex anytime. I think someone who's willing to wait for you values you more than one who pressures you for sex.

It is to me. Because I think sex is a big deal, and should be saved for a very big occasion such as marriage. So I'm waiting, I want to only have sex with the man I'm spending the rest of my life with, it helps the relationship, and it shows that your strong, you respect yourself, and your future husband or wife. It is also how people get pregnant, so it's not something that is really light, it is a big deal, and once you wait for that special someone, it will be very very special.

Yes it is important. You will be saving yourself for the man that you love. Everytime you have sex with someone it is like giving a piece of you to that person. Not to mention all the STD's that are floating around out there. Sex is something that is suspose to be special but it has lost the meaning over time. Its not something that is suspose to be casual and just normal to do with just who ever. I wish i could have taken my own advise.

loosing virginity is the choice of the girl ,we have stuck to it for centuries that we should preserve it for the one to marry ,but the customs can remain with u till u r with them, so enjoy urself when the divorces so high and commitment from men have vanished after being married.!!!!!!
