Why Does Our Society Put so Much Weight on Virginity?

I don't quite understand why we even have the concept. There's two completely different sides that are weighted just as heavily as each other. On the one hand, keeping your virginity until marriage is praised. This most likely originated from some religious belief on how you're "pure" for your future spouse. Another added benefit is that you don't end up on MTV's Teen Mom 2. Why we even have two of these is beyond me. It's much different from a social standpoint. If a guy loses his virginity quickly he's seen as "cool". Why is that cool? Somebody explain this to me. I've always [i]tried[/i] to save myself for marriage. Although I failed, I'm not necessarily mad that I did. Discuss. Edit: Tags for my personal archive. Whatever, this thread died anyway.

    If you think about it at a basic historic level, when girls have sex they have babies. At some level guys don't want to provide for another man's babies and they want to know their kids are really theirs. The way we live now makes some of that unimportant and step kids are not unusual now but attitudes don't change super fast. I didn't remain a virgin until marriage (not even close lol) but I respect that lifestyle. I have been through so much dumb drama that wouldn't exist if I chose that path, although I also think it helps in some ways. Like you know when a guy is being weird or when how he acts is normal (or you know that about girls if you are male).
