I'm aware that there was a thread earlier about this, but it seems to have died off or gotten locked.

I view virginity as a simple flap of skin. The hymen serves no anatomical purpose as far as I know, only to cause some pain on a woman's first time, and be a nuisance to get out of the bed sheets if by chance it bleeds.

I have no religious or moral beliefs, therefore I am impartial to virginity, and see no reason to keep it for the person you marry, while some have such an attachment to the hymen, and abstinince and the like due to religious/or other beliefs.

So, now that my thoughts have been shared, I ask yours.

(on an off-topic question, what defines the male virginity? if it's the first time he's orgasmed, then any young male who has masturbated is not a virgin.)
