Years ago, society used to place so much value on a woman who had high
moral standards and respected her own body enough not to give in to any
and every man who asks for sex. There used to be a point in history,
particularly in African culture, when a marriage could be legally
dissolved if the groom could provide proof that he didn't meet his bride
a virgin on their wedding night. It's the 21st century and this
practice has been done away with for the most part.
In this present age where technology has pretty much taken over the world and sexual liberty seems to be the modern way of life,not many men still place a premium on a woman who is "untouched". Some do but it isn't as generally expected as it used to be. It is not unheard of for teenagers to make a game out of their sexuality, trying to outsmart one another by being the first to lose their virginity. Then of course, the one who is still a virgin at 18 can be made fun of. To avoid this, the "old virgin" tries to keep his or her "state" a secret.
Contrary to what you might think, virgins are not frustrated about their sexuality, they are not frigid or sexually disabled.
