It does not bother me either way but the word virgin when used as a negative thing is just a writer being lazy.
Does the label "virgin" bother you?

Very few people are really virgins at the point of marriage, and being a virgin at marriage confers no special chance at success at marriage - in fact it may be the other way around.
Young people need to focus on their maturity and readiness for a sexual relationship - not whether or not they are technically virgins or not. less

I do really hate the thought that virgins are more pure and whatever. Just because someone has sex does not make the vagina worthless! Just cause some one has not had sex does not make that vagina gold either.

Saying someone is a virgin does not bother me

I've never thought of "virgin" as a label... It's more of a factual thing, I think... not a label.

The term itself doesn't bother me, but I hate the emphasis placed on it. Virginity is either placed on a pedestal or looked down upon. There's no middle ground for most people. The ambiguity bugs me, too - most people agree that PIV sex is a clear loss of virginity, but branching out into all the other types of sex just muddies the issue.
I call myself a virgin simply because I've never had sexual contact of any kind with another person. Once I've actually fooled around, even if PIV sex isn't involved, I'll probably drop it.

Doesn't bother me just another word.

It's all about the intention behind the word more than the word itself. That being said, the label doesn't bother me at all. =]

It's silly, so I don't really care about the word

Rubs me the wrong way a little but then again, it's the emphasis moreso than the label that bothers me.

I would LOVE to be one again, lol..

I feel like it's a social construct created to make people feel bad about themselves. it's like you either feel bad that you are a virgin, or you feel bad that you aren't.

I find the entire concept of virginity to be backwards (why do we culturally refer to the gain of sexual experience as a loss) patriarchal, hetero-sexist and sex negative. Hence I don't find the label to be very useful.

The label itself doesn't bother me but I don't like the connotations that go along with it.

The label doesn't bother me but it really shouldn't be anyone else's business if I an a virgin.
08/23/2012
either way is fine
