Why do some men feel the need to put other men down for being a virgin? In this day and age, alot of men (and women) are ridiculed for still being a virgin. I have not met alot of males that are still virgins, but the ones that I have are too ashamed to admit it because they do not want to be laughed at by other men. For some reason, alot of guys who have lost their virginity think that is what it takes to be "manly". Why is that? What does having sex have to do with becoming "masculine"? I am very curious to know because I am a girl who is 19 and still hasn't kissed anybody (let alone have sex), and I think it doesn't matter whether or not a guy is a virgin or not, but other men seem to very critical over it. Is it jealousy?
