Re: Virginity a virtue?
Virtue lies in the mind alone. And a person's mind can change from time to time.
Re: Virginity a virtue?
from this reasoning: you can have a mindset leading you not to be virgin any more…and then change your mind…and stay away from premarital sex…
or you can do the reverse 
the result in term of virginity is the same…but the morality…very different:D
Re: Virginity a virtue?
virginity is not a mark to distinguish b/w the two.
Re: Virginity a virtue?
Sagacity and perception lies in the mind not virtue. Virtue is a character that is stable, fixed and reliable. You know from a person's character how they'll react and respond to some situations. Now the question is not about how they would react to one situation, but how they are going to live their entire life? Two different questions as one deals with a moment while the other deals with entire life that revolves around family, friends, and people.
Virtue is determined by the right reason. What was one's reason to lead a life and choose what they prefer to do? Their past, present and future is not dertermined by one choice, rather than by series of events that enables the development of their moral character. It takes a second to judge someone but entire life to understand!
Think about it.

Re: Virginity a virtue?
U know I dint have virginity in mind at all when I said what I said. 
Virtue lies in the mind alone and has nothing to do with a person’s physical being. And what I mean when I say that a person’s mind can change from time to time is that depending on the situation/circumstance, a person may or may not be that ‘virtuous.’ Neway, Virtue is an extremely subjective concept. That which may be a virtue for me, may not be for another and vice versa. Virtue is what we see in someone as something that is ideal according to us, the right spirit and way in which life should be dealt with, that which a person is *most likely *to do/say/behave like when faced with a particular situation. And this way is good enough to be labelled a virtue by us.
Virginity could be lost because of any one in a mllion reasons. Love, desperation, rape, compromise, blackmail, proving a point, and the list can go on. Would we call a person who has lost their virginty for any of the above mentioned reasons as not being virtuous? Or those that have kept their virginity ‘intact’ as virtuous? Nah, when it comes to ‘virtue,’ for me virginity is a non-issue.
