Why is a persons virginity supposed to be such a "valuable" thing???

Question

surely being sexually ready, and sexually active is nothing more than a natural need to procreate... so why the romanticising???

Answer 1

Because once its gone you cant get it back

Answer 2

I think it's because it's an act of love. A declaration of how much you love someone, for them to be your first memory of intimacy. I don't believe it's valuable for the family, just self value for the person and possibly there partner. You shouldn't have s*x until your ready. Not everyone waits for love but that first time will be your introduction for the rest of your life. How that once goes, will reflect on any future sexual relationships. You've got to trust the person your with.

Answer 3

I think the be-all and end-all is the fact that you only have it once, and once it's gone you can never get it back.  Everyone always craves for something they don't have.

Once in a lifetime thing and all that...

I could get rather smushy into the romantics into losing ones virginity, but I think we are all sick of hearing it to be fair.
