Virginity: the reason behind it

Its fair to say that a chunk of young adults at some point had the thought of remaining a virgin till marriage or to give "it" to someone really special, and it's also fair to think somewhere along life's path, we gave in to the charm of love or the lust of money and continued to enjoy the pleasures therein.

Well, thumbs up to the handful of people still fighting the urges and declining the appeals of good 'ol sex.

But it leaves me to wonder....why do people really want to stay virgins?
The question seems stupid? Do you think its the obvious "it's a sin" reason? But I doubt people choose to stay virgins because its a sin exclusively.

There's too many sins we care less about. We throw a white, black or green lie here and there , we can ask for way more money than we need from our parents and we can kiss, gently touch but for "it" to go in there???its a no no. We will defend the honour of our virginity with all we've got.
That's selecting which sin is owkay and which is not.

I'm not a scholar of the bible but I doubt there's a place it's written that fornication is the height of sins
And i personally don't think there's a spiritual meter that measures or grade sins.

But it's not fair to say that lying is as bad as fornication because there's the 'conscience'.
Sex for the first time takes more than sweats, pleasure and the physical pain. It burrows deep into conscience and leaves in us the deepest of wholes and it questions greatly our standing with God.

So Why more do people want to stay virgins?
There's parental approval.
There's self worth
There's been more valuable to your husband
There maybe more reasons but these are what i could muster

I don't know but sharing your virginity status with your parents feels a bit weird. Do they need to know and what does it change? I feel your parents being up to date with your sexual life is feeding your ego than anything else.

Virginity adding to your self worth? Thats understandable but its not enough. Self worth should transcend beyond the patency of the hymen.

It's cool to present yourself untouched to your husband. Its shows a great deal of discipline and there's no way around it but doing that, you would require a man that actually appreciates and knows what it takes to stay a virgin till marriage. The sad part is men like that are slowly becoming hard to find.

Virgin or not. Whatever reasons we give to big decisions that may affect other people should be well defined.
