  2. Title: "Adolescent Non-Coital Sexual Activity: Comparisons of Virgins and Non-Virgins"

    Authors: Jane Woody, Robin Russel, Henry D'Souza, and Jennifer Woody

    Summary: This is a study that examined non-coital sexual activity among youth who did and didn't experience adolescent sexual intercourse. Their results showed that non-coital sex was common among both virgins and non-virgins, and the rates were similar for males and females. Total abstainers came from a lower socioeconomic status, had fewer social/dating opportunities, lacked a viable relationship, and had lower grades.

  4. This is a clip from the most recent episode of Grey's anatomy. Minus the dramatic aspect of the show, this episode brings up virginity and a couple cases of females being in their 20s who are still virgins. The clip is a montage of all the times in the episode that highlight the females' lack of experience and how how others react to that information.

    It is interesting in that it highlights the differences in reactions that can occur. The patient in the episode is a virgin but her fiance is not, yet he is supportive and understanding. However, when it is revealed that April is a virgin her colleagues spend the whole episode making fun of her for it until 8:15 in the clip when she attempts to explain why she is still a virgin.

  7. College Virgins: How Men and Women Perceive Their Sexual Status
    By: Susan Sprecher and Pamela C. Regan

    J-Stor Link: http://www.jstor.org.proxy.library.ucsb.edu:2048/stable/3813491?seq=10

    This article focuses on a study done of a large group of midwestern college students who still identified as virgins. The study focuses on a number of factors including the reasons participants were still virgins, the affective reaction to virginity, and how that reaction changes over time. For the majority of participants in the study, the reasons they remained virgins were fairly consistent. Its not that these people lacked sexual desire, instead they were waiting for the "right person" and also influenced by their morals and religious beliefs. A majority of the women polled were very secure with the fact that they were still virgins, however a significantly larger number of men reported being embarrassed by the fact that they were still virgins. There is also a discussion about social pressure and how men and women are pressured in different ways about having sex or remaining virgins.

  10. This article is titled "Losing Virginity" by K. Manning. It talks about the loss of virginity by different age groups as well as correlating it with IQ's and majors in college. For instance more math/science majors are more likely to be virgins than studio art majors in college. And many reasons for young adults to stay virgins deal with religious purposes and on-going STD fears. It was an interesting article that touched on who is more likely to be a virgin and why, which I can use within my paper when I interview some undergraduate virgins at UCSB.

    The article titled “LOVE AT FIRST SEX: LATINA GIRLS' MEANINGS OF VIRGINITY LOSS AND RELATIONSHIPS” By Garcia, Lorena examines how Latina youth view and see their first sexual experience. This article focuses on the sexual ideologies of Latina women and how their sexual identities are constructed based on their ideologies, gender, and race/ethnicity.
    This article is interesting because it is a narrow focus on Latina women. Many researches focus on women as a whole but the truth is that not all women identify with each other and besides religion and education ethnicity plays a major role in a women’s sexual life.

    Author: Matthew Brace
    Source: The Independent
    Summary: This article focuses on why a 17 year old girl, named Lorna Mallory, wants to remain a virgin until marriage. Lorna was brought up in a strict Christian household. She views sex, love, and marriage as a package and has no intention of separating them. She has plans for her future before settling down, and even says that she does not want to get married before she's 25. Lorna also explains that she is teased quite often for being a virgin and that the older she gets, the more she feels like a minority with regards to staying a virgin.

  13. title: Adult Virginity and Other Things
    Author:lydaclunas

    Summary: Why do adult virgins get such a raw deal? Judging a person based on their status as a virgin is reducing them to but one experience -- one which has little bearing on personality. Though sex is an important part of life, with responsibility and consequences attached, I do not believe the choice not to have sex makes one any less a normal, well-adjusted human being in our society. In my opinion, that is comparable to saying that I am a different person because I have not had the common and important life experience of purchasing and owning my own home....

  15. Title: The Ambiguity of "Having Sex": The Subjective Experience of Virginity Loss in the United States The Ambiguity of "Having Sex": The Subjective Experience of Virginity Loss in the United States

    Author:Laura M. Carpenter
    Source: JSTOR

    Ambiguity surrounds virginity loss as defined and interpreted by young people in the contemporary United States. Drawing on in-depth case studies of 61 women and men of various sexual orientations, ages 18 to 35, I explore the influence of that ambiguity on conduct and identity. Although uniformly agreeing that virginity loss could occur through first coitus, most respondents claimed that other kinds of genital sex could also sometimes result in virginity loss. Many argued that virginity could not be lost through rape. Respondents offered three primary interpretations of virginity--as a gift, stigma, or part of a process--which were associated with distinctive presentations of self, choices of virginity-loss partner, and contraceptive practices. Different definitions and interpretations of virginity loss gave distinctive shape to individuals' choices about the transitions from virgin to nonvirgin identity. Understandings of virginity loss were further patterned by gender and sexual orientation.

  16. Title: Would You Pledge Your Virginity to Your Father?
    by Jennifer Baumgardner (January 1, 2007)

    Link: http://www.glamour.com/sex-love-life/2007/01/purity-balls

    The article talks about a new way of fathers encouraging their daughters to keep their virginity until marriage. “Purity balls” are a new trend where fathers and daughters go together and the daughters pledge to save themselves until marriage. Fathers give them ring to symbolize the promise that they have made. The article is interesting because it has two points of view. It is neither against "Purity balls" or for them.

    This article discusses the variables which distinguishes adament virgins, potential nonvirgins, and nonvirgins. The introduction of the potential nonvirgin in the study this article focuses on better informs us of factors which lead to the transition from virginity to sexual activity. It was found that variables affecting virginity included "age, religiosity, career aspirations, parental acceptance of premarital intercourse [PMI], peer acceptance of PMI, peer experience with PMI, dating commitment and dating frequency." After analysis of the data it was found that peer experience with PMI, dating commitment, and religiousy were the most important predictors of virginity.

  20. I am interested in writing about young women who haven't deliberately avoided having sex for moral reasons or are saving themselves for marriage, but rather the right person or situation has not presented itself so they are still virgins. I saw this interview of Tina Fey on David Letterman and although she is joking I think she represents a certain group of girls who just haven't had sex not due to religious concerns or 'saving' themselves.

    Author: Laura M. Carpenter
    Source: JSTOR

    This article discusses the case studies of 61 diverse women and men and their perception of virginity and virginity loss. She discusses how women wanted to wait until marriage to lose their virginity and males were more willing to lose it outside a relationship. With the rise of more individuals having sex in the 60s an 70's outside a committed relationship came the rise of the sexual double standard. Some studies also tied women losing virginity is linked to love and male's virginity loss linked to an experience of a right of passage and gaining manhood. She also discusses how virginity loss is a right of passage where you go from childhood/adolescence to adulthood.

  23. Title: 7 Reasons Why You Should Stay a Virgin Until Marriage
    By: Angie Lewis

    Summary: The article gives 7 reasons why one should stay a virgin until marriage. The reasons are: 1) Lust and Fornication Are Sins, 2) Virginity is a Precious Gift to Bring to Your Spouse, 3) The Risk of Pregnancy, 4) Multiple Heartaches From Dating, 5) Virginity is Cool, 6) Sexual Purity is God's Plan For You, 7) Fornication is NOT Healthy. After each reason given, the author expands a little more, for example on the last one mentions that many causal sexual partners don’t even know the person they are having sex with, they don’t take the time to the person on a deeper level, “The only thing intimate about the relationship is the sex aspect of it.” (Angie Lewis). They don’t know whether the other person has a venereal disease.

    Summary: This article explores a study that was done to assess the usefulness of virginity pledges. It found that teens who had initiated sexual activity and had pledged were more likely to recant the pledge. Also, teens who had pledged were more likely to deny sexual activity. This was tested in interview "waves" to determine consistency of comments. The author's argument is that virginity pledge effectiveness measurements are often inaccurate, and that those who pledge are less likely to use contraception and more likely to get STDs and get pregnant.

    Summary: This article is about the culture pressures and values in which women face over keeping their virginity. It brings up the issue in which a women's virginity is held as more important than a mans virginity. It goes on to discuss how a women's virginity can be medically proven, but an easier way of determining a women's virginity is to just ask her personally. It further deliberates on what exactly being a virgin is and how there are multiple definitions to this one word that anything today can be seen as losing your virginity. The author concludes the article by presenting virginity as a social construction and a myth.

  28. Article: Religiosity, Self-Control, and Virginity Status in College Students from the “Bible Belt”

    Authors: Alexander Vazsonyi; Dusty Jenkins

    This article talks about the effects of religion and the relation it has to self-control on young adolescents initiating sexual or oral intercourse. There was data taken in both males and females and it demonstrated that the odds of a male remaining a virgin increased as self-control increased. For females, the odds of not engaging in oral sex increased a little less than the males. The article also states that both religiosity and self control are independent in regards to sexual activity in young adolescents.

It discusses virginity in relation to morals, religion as well as parents and the emotions that come along with these particular subjects. Although this article does not condemn sexual relations, it does however bring up topics such as pregnancy, STDS, expectations and the social relationships that could be potentially broken after a sexual relationship with that individual.
