Nothing necessarily. Apart form the standard of Moral Law, God, we are left with human opinions about morals.

Morals is simply another word for I care for others and I care for myself. I respect others therefore I will also respect myself. Under the morals scope the "Being a Virgin" is a separate part of morality. One could be a virgin and cheat people in business and be considered to be not so moral. Or a person - not a virgin - who truly considers treating others as they want to be treated and they are mentally normal folks would certainly be considered a very moral person. Two separate subjects wouldn't you say. Be well Steven

What u do with ur body affects mostly to you, at least in the short term the consequences are obvious. And from that point of view it has to do more with self respect. Still, Id say it has an impact in the society in the long run, and therefore it becomes a matter of morals. If u consider promiscuity as the current trend that has replaced celibacy, and look at the other implications such as families braking apart, more single and lone people, suicides, depression, etc, then u could realize that it becomes a matter of morals coz causes public health to decrease (HIV for example) the decline of life quality (lonelyness, divorces) and in general the going backwards in civilization...
But of course, u have to experiment all these things before in order for u to see the whole pic.
Dont think u have the control, coz u actually dont, and specially when u start to be indulgent with ur body sexual needs.

the Bible teaches to have sex only after marriage, and to be faithful to that person. In some countries of the world, non-Christian, if the woman is not a virgin on her wedding night she could be stoned or killed. In one country the groom tosses out a bloody sheet to prove his wife's virginity has been taken. Some women who visited the U.S. and lost their virginity here go to a surgeon to have their hymen repaired to a virginal state before they go back to their home country. Virginity is a world-wide moral of great importance.

I'm really not quite sure for a number of reasons:
WARNING - ADULT ANSWER
First, you can be a virgin and have other kinds of sex (oral, anal, masturbatory, etc.). Being a virgin only means that vaginal sex hasn't happened yet.
However, sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies can still occur. Virgin birth is not unique or even unexplained. If semen lands near the vaginal opening, it is possible to get pregnant because the semen can move. Although this is difficult, it isn't impossible. A friend of mine got pregnant this way. She was married, but didn't want any more children. She didn't count on the little suckers being so resourceful and nine months later her son was born. He's well-loved, but was unplanned.
Virginity is seen by many cultures as being indicative of a woman who is a lady and will make a good and faithful wife. Again, not necessarily.
Bottom line is that enforced virginity, either through societal disapproval or by some other means, is a way to make women unequal with men. While women are called names and sometimes shunned once it is known that they enjoy sex, men are applauded and encouraged by their peers.
Truth is the creator made us equally able to enjoy and desire sex. Being uncaring with another's feelings is more immoral, in my opinion, than enjoying the body the creator made for you. When two (or more) consenting adults (and I do mean ADULTS) want to be together sexually, no one has a right to say it is wrong. As long as they practice safe sex, know the consequences of their actions and are willing to accept them, and don't hurt another's feelings or betray a trust, they have every right to enjoy themselves.
Good journeys and be safe!

"Being" a virgin has nothing to do with morals- it is a simple state of being.
"Staying" a virgin MAY be an issue of morals or just a lack of opportunity to change status.
the real key is what is important to the virgin in question

Nothing really, being faithful to the one you are with is the moral aspect of relationships, not sex before marriage. That is merely a personal choice, and one I happen to have.

It goes with decency, modesty, self-respect, purity...hmmm what else.
If I go jumpin' from one to another, I wouldn't feel great about myself. I'd feel second hand and cheap. At least that's what I imagine I would feel, so I didn't do it. And then, imagine a rubber being stretch by everyone else, that rubber would wore off eventually.

Read the Bible and see. Let's take it a step farther, what is wrong with being a whore? Would you like it if your own daughter had many, many sexual relationships with many men, none of which were her husband? There is also such a thing as self respect. Respect for right and wrong. And, especially respect for God.

It has to do with self discipline. On my spiritual journeys...i dont eat, sleep, drink. or engage in any sexual activity (including oral and self) for 5 days. After these five days it feels almost the same as meditation or a psychedelic trip
