My son's girlfriend who he's lived with for several years was a virgin when they got together, and for some reason this fact is important to him and her, enough so that they mention it frequently.
And these people- my sons, their friends, their girlfriends- are alternative-type kids. I'm saying, they are not conventional good kids. They're drop-outs. Most of them have minor criminal records. They're covered with tattoos. They're not the type you'd expect to concern themselves with the "reputations" of girls they know, as if this were the McCarthy era 1950s.
They certainly didn't get this message- that females are to be judged by the number of sexual partners they have- from me.
I'm liberal- libertine- in my views. But they nevertheless got this idea from somewhere.
It seems to be an idea that all young people share these days, but that certainly wasn't the case 20 or 30 years ago.
See, when I was a kid, in the 80s and 90s... if you were a virgin, you didn't admit it. Abstinence was not "cool" back then... definitely uncool.
