AngelHedgie's lolfundies-thread-of-the-week a few weeks back
I think it might matter in reversed sense. Like, if a guy still had his virginity after a certain age, he'd get ridiculed. Cuz, y'know, he's not a man yet.
Mmm, I would say it always indicates emotional imaturity. But your point is taken in that it could be inexperienced immaturity rather than sleazy immaturity.
Well, the original reason was that, in the days before paternity tests, a dude wanted an ironclad guarantee that any kids issued from the marriage were his and his alone. This could be attributed to biology, patriarchal property inheritance laws, or simple human jealousy, depending on who's answering the question.

I don't buy it. Firstly, you only have to wait a month at the most to find out if your bride-to-be is pregnant. Secondly, there's no reason your wife can't sleep with someone else after you break her hymen. If the whole virginity fiasco is about paternity, it's a stupid system that doesn't work.
What makes you think that this is supposed to make any sense whatsoever?
Am I reading this wrong or are you saying that you've been with multiple women but the idea that your current (former?) virgin girlfriend be with another man makes you sick to your stomach? I sure hope you realize the hypocrisy of this.
Edit: What I meant say is if it bothers you, why didn't you wait for marriage and instead take the virginity of someone who it doesn't sound like you're married to.
Well, sure. But emotional immaturity amongst a couple of awkward teens in love is more "awwwww" than "ewwwww".

I'm saying if that was the reason they wouldn't do it. I don't believe that's the reason.
So I asked her if that means she wants guys to go around having sex with girls, and she said no.
WTF. Where are the fun non-virgin guys gonna come from then?

There's just one, and he's selected in a national lottery.
Rape.
...but...but this surgery doesn't change the fact that they aren't virgins anymore. They have had sex already. o_O
This is a new definition of illogical.
But it can save their life dark. It's crazy they have to have surgery in secret for fear of being killed for having the audacity to be a human being and have sex.
Not really. It makes perfect sense when not being a virgin can get you killed, or, at least ostracized from your society. And time and again we've seen that there's a lot men who will badmouth women they have sex with.
So get the surgery. New husband thinks you were a virgin because your blood is staining the sheets. Life goes on. I think this shows just how idiotic the virgin fetish inthat all it takes to fool the one who's doing the penetrating is a simple bit of flesh.
But if they don't, now that they're no longer virgins, then there is ALSO something to be said about exploring and finding out what you like and don't like.

...which probably tells how low of an opinion I have about humanity.
Wait, so it's emotionally immature to wait until marriage for sex?
My wife and I both were virgins when we married by choice. Mostly for religious reasons. I don't really have much else to offer to this thread, other than it should be a personal choice for each person involved.
I'm sure thats there too. I recall a story about a 30 something woman doing that for an anniversary gift for her husband. Which while silly is no worse then breast implants.
The women in the story I linked are doing it out of fear of being killed. I have to wonder though, what if they get this surgery and the guy who had sex with them comes out and says he did? I mean what then?
To make it even worse, I imagine in many of those cultures even if he was lying he would be believed over the woman.
How'd you get that out of what he said? That's quite a leap from "People who are virgins are inexperienced" to "People who chose to wait until marriage to have sex are immature". I mean, they're not even close.
she'd probably be killed, but it's better than being a spinster who's a burden for her parents to bear.
Ah, yeah after rereading it you're right. I just saw "immaturity" and missed the whole "inexperienced" part in front of it.
Are you saying that being all freaked out about sex doesn't belie an emotional immaturity? It doesn't make you a bad person, it just makes you... emotionally immature. Like, say, 99% of awkward teens fooling around with sex.
As to you and your wife, you were probably mature in most ways. When it comes to sex, you were emotionally immature by definition, because you had not yet experienced any of the emotions associated with sex. You cannot have, because you hadn't had sex.

No, that any girl I'm with, virgin or not, being with another guy makes me sick to my stomach. I happen to be with a girl who I was her first, and it just doesn't come with that "other guys have touched her" thing... that's all.
He wasn't talking about that, though: "Wait, so it's emotionally immature to wait until marriage for sex?"
Not even the same thing.
I don't know how we were freaked out about sex, but you're right that we were new to the emotional experience of it all. Guess it was just the word choice.
That is what I originally said. However, it was in response to something I had misread.
You still need to realise that you have a problem, and yes, you are being a hypocrite by doing to her exactly the same thing that, if it were another man, would freak you out.
Not to jump down your throat, but this is about as archtypically emotionally immature as you can get.
This. Double Standards are no bueno.
Maddie: "I am not!"
Riley: "You're a marsupial!"
Maddie: "I am a placental mammal!"
So what you're saying is you can date multiple people over the course of your life, but your girlfriends can't have.
You make me fucking sick. That's just ridiculous.

For females same question.
