What a strange thread. I guess I can understand what some of you are saying being a virgin until you're married means to you personally, and what it represents. But I'm having a hard time imagining what sort of upbringing or youth that attitude somehow fits into.

Btw, first time I took someone's virginity was in fifth grade. I tackled a girl and she fell and started to bleed. Does that count?..

Virginity should't matter, as long as the person you're doing it with is only doing it with you then theres no problem, though someone who's done it with tons of people to me makes me feel they're dirty (and not in the way people would like)

What is the media's role in shaping or affecting our views on "virginity"? How does it do this?

The media seems to show sex as something that we have to do as a teenager, and that its something to be embarrased if you're still a virgin when you're in your very late teens. TV shows I find are the worse offenders, where the teens in them are running off and having sex before you can even say 'happy 16th birthday', it gives the impression that as soon as you get to the age of consent you must lose it or there's something wrong with you.

Such as, do you have a stereotypical view or virgins (Such as the "ugly girl" or "pure and innocent girl")?

Stereotypes kinda stems from the media, if you're a virgin then it's because you're ugly or have been dictated by conservative parents during your life and seem naïve and dull. Personally I don't have any stereotypes about virgins, I've never thought about it, it's either something you are or you aren't, no big deal.

I believe that the term virginity was created back in the 50s and 60s as a synonym for innocence. People then thought that virgins were innocent and once one had sex, they would magically become an adult and ready for the real world. That is not such the case now. I am still a virgin by today's standards, but I am by no means innocent. I guess it is easier to determine when a person has had sex then when they have lost their innocence.

Sure seems like that's how it still works. I know this one girl.. woman.. she's 34, and she acts like an unkissed 16 year old. Which she's not..
