It's all a matter of choice to me. I mean, if you really value your virginity that much and value it in another partner, that's up to you to decide. As for myself, I'm in a happy relationship, have happy consensual sex with my partner even though we're not married yet. It doesn't make people depraved sex monsters to have a sexual relationship with their partner just because they're not married, compared to when somebody is married, it then somehow becomes all magical and right and cute. It's all the same whenever you wait to have sex or not, within marriage or not. Marriage is just an official relationship with a few benefits, and I don't need an extravagant ceremony and a piece of paper telling me that I love someone. One day, I'll get around to doing that in the end, however, but right now, I'm happy and am experiencing the best time of my life, sharing deep intimate love with my partner. I don't see it as 'cheapening yourself' either or 'lessening the value of yourself' either, I mean, we're not in the old ages any more where a person's worth was measured by their virginity, amirite?
