The Burden of Virginity

If you haven`t lost your virginity by a certain age lets say 23 it actually becomes more and more difficult to get rid of it. Women especially hang onto it as some sort of a treasure that will be bestowed upon the lucky one. They also find perfectly logical explanations to support their stand as that article illustrates.
Now what I`d like to see is an equivalent article from a 28 year old male virgin from Sialkot who is studying in Oklahoma State.

Sorry, temporal, I only know of two ratios:
The US Army went from a ratio of 1.9:10,000 (general rank officers to enlisted men) in 1945 to 6.4 in 1980. I believe its gotten worse since then.
The Russians are at about 1:833 now! Just about the highest in history, I would think.
Incidentally, there is another ``Law`` of military efficiency that might interest you: ``The side with the fanciest military uniforms will lose.`` I believe it was more applicable to the pre-1940 armies more than the post 1945 ones but its still a good law.
Regards.

virginity, if referring to the existance of that famously brittle integument, is a hoax. The earlier one gets rid of it the better. As far as I am concerned, I would prefer a girl with `that look in her eyes` as my bride since I find it difficult to tolerate blushing women.

“I`d like to ask the men reading: what would you do if your blushing bride told you she wasn`t a virgin on your wedding night?”
A. Bismil Bibi, welcome to chowk!
I reckon many men and women have explored this subject many a times… So, your piece is not really a virgin :) . And we don’t even need a white bed sheet on wedding night to prove that :)
As for your above question, I doubt any South Asian bride would ever do that…. however, if I ever faced such a situation (which is highly unlikely), I would:
a)be in a slight trouble – why? Knowing my woman, I am absolutely positive that the only reason she would tell me this is to extract information on this matter from me :)
b)hit the iron when it’s hot! Let me elaborate…. Since she has confessed about not being a virgin, I would innocently tell her that what she did was wrong, but I am an open minded person and I forgive her… I reckon she’d be my slave for the rest of her life…don’t you agree? :) And the question of who is going to do which household chores would never arise… :)
On a serious note, why should I expect my woman to have the “product specifications” that I don’t have? (alright, in a woman, certain physical specifications are essential and every man has a right to expect those in his woman) ………. I like the Pentagon policy of “don’t ask, don’t tell” on this matter… it’s a good healthy policy…
On a more serious note, you are right about the downside of having casual sex/casual relationships…sometimes it ain’t worth it.. and if you can live without having casual sex/relationships until you find the “one” you know is “the one” (don’t ask me how), you are much better off on your own… I don`t know about you, but I find the grief and pain of relationship failures rather ominous now..
On an absolutely serious note, this matter needs an in-depth analysis…
Why do ancient/semi ancient cultures put so much value on woman’s virginity? (this issue, btw, is not restricted to a particular culture or religion)
Is it an evil, backward, absurd tradition? - a product of our centuries old, conservative, male dominated, patriarchal societies?
Or is there something deeper, which the wise elders of our culture/society point to when they insist on the value of virginity?
