During the time of our grandmas and grandpas virginity is a great issue. That time it was big insult to a man's pride to marry a woman who have lost her virginity with other guy she had loved before. And it was shameful for a woman to lost her virginity before her wedding day. But now that we are living in a modern world a lot of things have changed and even our principles in life had already changed. Now I just want to ask you,Personally I still want to preserve my virginity until my wedding day comes but I'm not judgmental to those who don't believe that it's still important matter. What's your take on virginity? How much do you value it? Can you still love a woman who have lost her virginity before you arrived in her life? Why and Why not? I know coming from different races and cultures we also have different beliefs and principles regarding this issues?

I believe in the fact that virginity is not dignity but it's just lack of opportunity.

Lack of opportunity to be miserable?
I agree. =D
Opportunity is double edged, it may turn out for better or for worse.

Given the final phrase, I would have to agree and the 9th month project is a scary notion.

Ha ha ha, don't be so serious, 99.99% people are scared of 9 month project. That is why it is said, opportunity, when everything is perfect.

Trust me when i tell you this, virginity was always & will be a matter of pride for men & women. Virginity means that woman will keep that precious innocence only for the person who will marry her, the one she truly love & admire.
virginity is the most precious gift that a woman can give to a man, i know some women will say, that's not right, how come men screw women all the time & we can't do that, lol, well ladies, virginity is not only for women, it's also for men.
Am sure a woman will be so happy to marry a virgin man too, LOL. Imagine that wedding night where both of the couple are virgin, trust me, they'll enjoy that moment like no one else do, coz it's their first time, & it's good to be with someone you'll spend the rest of your life with.
so my advice maryah, keep it till marriage, & trust me the right man will respect that & loves you more for doing so.

I agree that people varies in their belief when it has something to do with the subject. I know a guy that despite his being modern, he still believe in the significance of virginity before marriage. Good thing that I met my man who loves me regardless of who I am. But I'm not saying I've lost my virginity, and I have nothing against those who lost theirs before marriage. It's still love that shoul prevail.

this is not a big issue for me. what happened before OUR time remains his business.
I was married a virgin. but that's mainly because i'm so naive, i fear getting pregnant accidentally. :) My husband was a virgin too! And don't you know it, three months after our wedding, I'm pregnant already!!! :)

unlike the west, it's still a big issue here...well at least morally. on a personal level i think it's not that much anymore because many have lost their virginity before marriage. on the outside people say a lot if they come to know of such acts. but the rise in pre-marital affairs with changing times just indicate how the issue has waned in dignity. so, i don't know what to say about it. i personally feel pre-marital affair isn't moral or that we should preserve virginity at least until our marriage. but like i said, it's easier said than done. i confess that i couldn't preserve it and that's a failure on my part. but i've never had affairs with any other except my girlfriend. yeah, it's better to preserve virginity until marriage if u can. that's my opinion.
i can't say either about loving or liking someone who's lost her virginity. haven't come across that kinda experience so hard to say.

For me even though my girl lost her virginity on her way to me I'll accept her as she is because I love her. Even if god will replace her with a virgin girl I will still choose her. Even god will give me a thousand women I will still choose her for she is my irreplaceable girl.

Here are couple of reasons why I still believe the old way is the best way.
1. When a couple is dating, they are trying to get to know each other very well and understand each other because they want to be sure their love for each other is sincere and that they are well-suited for each other in marriage.
A man and a woman get to know each other on three levels - spiritual, emotional and physical. The spiritual obviously deals with those core values about life's purpose, God, religion, faith, etc. Even a person who considers themselves non-religious has definite beliefs in this area.
The emotional side then deals with all the likes, dislikes, experiences, and goals of the other person. This is a very broad area with much to discover.
And of course the physical is everything from the first touch, the first kiss to the ultimate.
Now understand the problem. The first two levels are most important because they involve who you are and will be the rest of your life. These two areas are kind and friendly, and will allow you to play in their court for as long as you choose.
However, the physical level is no gentleman. He first shows up disguised as a spark, just shedding the tiniest amount of warmth and light. But before you know it, you will have flames, then flames you cannot control and then the final act. Now I know in reality no-one will be complaining about this progression, they will be delighted. But this fire continues to consume passion and interest and now the couple has far less time to talk about levels one in two. The desire tot talk about the other issues is squelched. Instead they talk about when can we do it again. This eventually leads to 'let's get married'.
2. The whole idea of a honeymoon is that a couple of virgins can get together in a private setting with no pressure or distractions and explore the physical side of the relationship. It is new, it is fascinating and the truth is they cannot get enough of each other. Now, safe in the confines of a marriage decision based on spiritual and emotional oneness, there physical relationship is safe and comfortable and exciting. Let the fire burn, for within marriage it is not out of control. Isn't that the mysterious glow we expect to see in the faces of newlyweds?

What is it inside of you that makes you value your virginity, even though many people have different principles in these modern times? You must have some definite reason, or otherwise you would be tempted to conform.
