Honestly I don't believe the numbers would be that low, ignoring the fact outside of bravado there is a limited possibility of a male ever hitting 50 partners during normal sexual relations in a life time, let alone marrying age.
I bet if you asked women and men "Would you marry a partner who had slept with 10 people previous to your relationship?" Women would answer in the affirmative more then men by a considerable margin.
Couldn't that be attributed to the fact that for a woman to truly enjoy sexual intercourse she needs a guy who knows what he's doing while men can reach orgasm more easily?
From my own (ahem) research, it's just as hard to get a man off as it is to get a woman off. We're not born with blowjob instructions, you know. Men are, however, more encouraged to explore their own bodies, and thus are likelier to be able to get themselves off during sex.
I dunno, are you talking about oral, anal, or vaginal sex? And of course, not counting things that don't directly stimulate the genitals, like, I dunno, dripping hot wax on your partner's back and whatnot. Oral sex, I would agree with you. Anal/vaginal sex, I'm not so sure.
I'm talking about the whole shebang, but more on the oral side, as that's the part that needs skill. Guys can , of course, more-or-less masturbate into a vagina, but that's not a skill.
I don't know, I don't exactly have experience, but it just seems from a purely practical view that it's easier for guys because they have a big whacking thing right there that's hard to miss, whereas for girls it takes a bit more finesse.
[tiny]This is part of the reason why I have never been able to get myself off, I think.[/tiny]
Interestingly, both sexes tend to discover masturbation as toddlers about equally. (Although I'm not hunting for the study I read this in; that's not a search string I want connected to me. ) There's a lot more information available to guys in the cultural consciousness, though, so learning the technique when they're older is probably easier. I mean, even 10-year-olds know that that beating-off motion = male masturbation; it's featured pretty often on tv, even if just from the waist up, and "jerk-off" is a pretty common term. Female masturbation, however, is much more under-the-rug (:winky:) and barely ever referenced in pop culture.
Silly personal anecdote time: for ages, I didn't know female masturbation had a name. I called it "billying" for some reason and thought I invented it.
Getting "sick to the stomach" is definitely over the top, but does any guy really enjoy thinking about their girlfriend's other partners, much less in detail? Whether or not they've had sex before isn't a big deal in the slightest--just enjoy the time you have with her. She has a past, just like you, get over it and love her for what she is: a person, just like you.
For most, it's just a touch of jealousy. It's a known human flaw, not really a huge deal unless people start taking drastic measures.
Actually yes. There is a complementary fetish to virginity fetish. The cuckold fetish. In fact, I think I've heard of virginity fetishes morphing into cuckold fetishes. A sort of coping mechanism.

Well, the thing is, male genitalia is pretty self-explanatory. Female genitalia isn't quite so obvious. It doesn't take much imagination or persistence to figure out what to do with a penis (though I'm sure you can achieve greater payoffs if you invested the effort), but even just finding the clitoris could take some patience.

I'm kind of curious how much of that is just the amount of ignorance about female genitalia in general. My brothers were told the correct names for their junk (penis and scrotum) basically as soon as they could talk, but I was taught to call my whole genital area "vagina." It's a lot harder to "find" your clit if you don't know that you have one, or that women masturbate at all!
Knowing that someone is a virgin is an easy way to not be terribly concerned about STDs without asking potentially awkward questions, as people tend to wear the "virgin" label a little more prominently than the "no herpes and no warts!" label.

Not necessarily. There's plenty of people who consider themselves virgins while still having risky oral and anal sex.
And if you can't ask potentially awkward questions, you shouldn't be having sex.

Miscommunication is a big spreader of stds, instead of worrying about it afterwards, you should ask before, and use a condom anyway unless it's a long term relationship and you're both 100% sure you're both clean.

I certainly agree with you about the lack of education about female genitalia, but I still think that, even given a completely naive person, he or she would know what you're supposed to do with a penis just by looking at it. Form follows function and all that, you know.
@ Loren, STDs is definitely a good reason, but I don't really think that the questions have to be awkward. If I ever broke up with my boyfriend and started dating other people, I would tell them to go get tested for all the STDs under the sun before I'm willing to take my top off. And I wouldn't feel awkward or embarrassed about this, I'm just taking logical precaution to protect my own health. We're adults now and so should be able to communicate openly about practical things like this.
Speaking with a foreign solider, she lost what is the most precious thing for any woman. 'People from western countries might be shocked, but our girls are not like their daughters that can sleep with any man they want and sometimes even get pregnant without marrying. Our girls should respect their religion, their family and their bodies.
So talking to a foreigner = losing virginity to this guy.

This is pretty much wrong. It is incredibly easy to get myself off in a purely functional unfun way (something about strain on the knees/thighs seems to do the trick), but it actually takes a pretty exception mental effort to get off with a women.
Of course this probably depends on what she's good at too, but the same is equally applicable for guys as well.

Yep, that is what fundie Islam is, people. These people are insane beyond redemption.
You know hearing this about the Muslim community is hardly surprising to me. I think I'm just sort of numb to insanity from the religious sector.
What was more surprisingly (and made me more angry) was apparently a survey by Maxim or the like in Australia found something like 47% of (male) respondants said they would prefer to marry a women who was a virgin on their wedding night.
What. The. Fuck.
Needless to say, that made me feel like going out there and punching 47% of men in the face. I mean after all the alleged social progress in this country, you get 47% of a survey saying that, that is fucked up.
Come on, they were Zoo readers. Most of them are 14. But yeah, disturbing and also they can go to hell.

No idea. And I don't really think it matters from that perspective anyway - I like to imagine that somehow we have a country of people who think in a slightly wider ranging mindset. But apparently not.
I think wanting to remain celibate until you're married as well as wanting to marry someone who was celibate until they married you is a valid mindset.
Somehow I don't think that christians and other morally 'upright' types comprise the main readership demographic of Zoo or any other lad magazine, sweetie.

Well, honestly, that's what's so worrying about that survey. Aus is not a religious country. There's not much cultural impetus for that belief anymore, so one can conclude that its not being expressed as a 'God said this is how it oughta be' sort of thing, but rather an 'I want someone I have more power over', or 'I want to not feel insecure about my performance and god forbid I assuage that insecurity by talking to my partner, she should just never know the touch of another man so that she'll have no point of comparison' thing. Which, ew.
Oh hey, I broke what little hymen I had myself because I didn't want my first time to be associated with blood and pain (awkwardness is quite enough kthnx). Does that make me a trollop?

C'mon Cat, you just recited the thesis of the entire middle of this thread that has already been cleared up. But please, don't let that stop you. Continue bringing up closed arguments.
Uh, no. Really. For many men, wanting a virgin is about desperately not wanting to compete sexually with another man, while forgetting that those other men are out of their lady's life for a reason. If this makes you sad, go find somewhere to shed a few tears. Get it out of your system.

Think of it this way, fellas: if she's fucking you exclusively, you've won. That's it, game over. You have fucking won. She could go out there and bone half the guys at the local pub, but she's not. Instead, she's home with you, playing Hide the Snake. Other guys? Don't even worry about it; they're not sticking their man meat into her clam chowder (for the sake of argument). If that's not not competing with other men sexually, I don't know what is.

You lost me at "married" and scared me at "children".
I had no idea what the fuck I was doing before I had sex. I had no idea what it took to be a mature, responsible sexual partner. That's because you learn this shit as you go along. You don't read about it in a magazine, you don't get the hang of it from porn (please god no). You learn by doing, making mistakes, learning from them.
That is why I definitely, 100% do not want to marry a virgin. I mean holy shit. Chick could be into, like, ball-crushing as the only way she gets off. Sure, it's highly unlikely that she'll discover that, but you have no idea what even your own preferences are until you try them.
I don't think I was really stupid about sex when I was a virgin. But then again I'm not entirely sure why that was either - I suspect however this probably had something to do with my early obsession with erotic fiction when the internets was still only 33.6k.
I stopped caring about virginity after the first (and only) time I took someone's and it turned out to be the worst sex ever. People with previous sexual experience are likely to be better at it.
The only thing I really remember from my first time was that it hurt. They never tell you it can hurt for guys. And since that was my focus, I know I wasn't very good.
