    Morally: this is based on religion and since most religions say only have sex when married, then yes, it is morally acceptable (even commanded) to be a virgin unless maried.

    Ethically: It's very possible that there is an ethical question here but it won't be received well by many people. If you believe that your virginity is the property or right of your future spouse then there is an ethical responsibility to remain a virgin. If you believe that your virginity is your own property then this is a non-issue.

    Socially: based upon one response above and on the movie alluded to; it is not socially acceptable to be a virgin after a certain age (herein referenced to be 40 - but not further defined). In fact, that the discussion is brought about by so many, it would seem that "normal sexual behavior" includes both virginity and non-virginity and that society values "normal sexual behavior" therefor it is socially acceptable to be either.

    I think it is what is acceptable to God. Who cares what everybody else thinks. I was not a virgin when I met my husband, but now that we've been married for 7 years and have 3 children, I wish he had been the only one. That's the whole point.

    Don't let ANYONE else tell you how you should manage your own virginity. That is YOUR choice, and there is no wrong answer.

    You should do what you feel is right. If you think that you're not ready yet, then don't do it yet. If you're starting to feel that virginity is over-rated (as I did), find yourself someone you are comfortable with and let nature take its course.

    But if / when you decide you're ready, make sure to protect yourself. It's important.

    Virginity is better than having a bunch of unwanted kids and several STDs.

    Yes, believe everything you've been told about being a virgin. It is true, and so worth it.

    Its good to have your virginity but if one day you love deeply and think that it is OK to lose it to the person you love then i guess it OK.

    Yes, unless you allow others to determine how you will live your life.
