Not sure what part of my original comment implies that. In fact, I explicitly said it applied to both genders.
In many parts of the world (China, Thailand, Vietnam etc just to name a few), chastity, monogamy etc are considered desired attribute in a partner. Only in Western Hemisphere (influenced by American Pie type of subculture) you see monogamy and chastity equalized with “lack of experience” or even “loser” characterization. The campus frat party culture obviously make it necessary to tie every kid of age 18-23 how “desired” they are with how many partners they had sex with.
- ricardobeat 3y ago> chastity, monogamy etc are considered desired attribute in a partner You mean “female partner”.
- bettercallsalad 3y agoNot sure how you drew the conclusion. In western culture, a guy being chaste/virgin is considered a serious sin. Remember “40 year old virgin”?
- hef19898 3y agoNot a sin, just odd.
- ricardobeat 3y agoYou didn’t mention any specific cultures, but those “attributes” are only required for women, and breaking the rules makes them unfit for marriage. Meanwhile, men can be as promiscuous as they want. This applies particularly to the middle east and majority muslim countries, but also true in softer form in south america (where I grew up) and probably asia. I loathe the frat-boy culture, but it feels odd to celebrate alternatives that are even more oppressing for women.
