And  *that's* why female virginity is important in this (and many  other,
patriarchal, cultures), and it's also why only women can be  "deflowered".
Because a man cannot be "despoiled" by sexual intercourse.  


Except that, to many people, I sense (no - I'm not providing a citation for  
this claim!) that it *doesn't* matter.
 
I'll admit I had sex with one (self-described) virgin.  I don't know  whether 
she had actually never had sex before or not.  I don't know (and  never 
cared) whether her hymen was still intact at the time or not.  So I  don't know 
whether I "deflowered" her -- and I don't care.
 
I'm sure there are people who do care about such things.  But I  don't.
 
Personally, I don't think anyone can be "despoiled" by sexual  intercourse.
