I think virginity is overrated, primarily by virgins. I'm not suggesting that you go against your feelings or beliefs, but it is the rare person, who upon losing their virginity voluntarily, afterwards, were actually glad that they had waited.
Sex is as powerful a motivator and necessity as food and sleep imo. It is only because men (meaning the gender) want to guarantee their own children will inherit their wealth and/or power that they have "enslaved" women with this moral dilemma to be hot and sexy on the one hand, and chaste on the other.
