As per Spirituality it's the most sacred divine form of energy. We are souls in human form and we all come with baggage be it wounds trauma . For example A goes out with random people B C D .... B has depression then A is bound to feel depressed .... It's like u already have ur own baggage instead of healing it ...what u did ? Not just one but so many people so few minutes of pleasure what ur doing to urself on mind body soul level ? Honestly I don't think i m capable of explaining it properly so I wanted to post some link related to the topic but didn't find. It's a vast topic.
I respect your views, however historically people, majorly women have been ill-treated as well as killed in the name of virginity. Have you heard of white sheet test and female genital mutilation? White sheet test is the practice where groom's family check for blood stains on the white sheet of marital bed to confirm if the bride was virgin before the first night or not. If there is no stain, it is concluded that the girl was not virgin (aka used product) and then they proceed to abuse her and her family. What these people don't understand is that not all girls bleed after the first time. Now comes FGM, in this practice, girls as young as 5-year olds, have their private parts cut and stitched to maintain their virginity. And all this is done by someone who has no medical knowledge, without anesthesia, with a blade in some dirty hut. This is just the tip of ice berg, there are many more examples. When you say that virginity is not regressive, you, in a way justify these cruel practices.
Who defines what virginity is? Is it intercourse? Outercourse? Makeout? Kissing? Masturbation? I can list so many sexual activities that doesn't even involve those body parts. Who decides the limits?
You have the freedom of following any ideology. It is your right to seek out a partner who fulfills your expectations. However you do not have the right to question others choices. Virginity is regressive in a good society and it is accepted so by the scientific community.
