People who respect themselves need not fear they are de-valuing themselves by engaging in pre marital sex.

I would not have wanted to marry a woman who had "made the rounds" for years. Most men I've known haven't wanted that. My son and my son's friend want women for their wives who are virgins or who have shown considerable restraint in the sexual area. I watch MTV from time to time, and I see young women (on a regular basis) there trying to decide if going to bed with a guy on the first date is too slutty. Usually they agree that it's OK on the second date! (But based on what? - The desire to feel virtuous?) The vast majority of men I know, from many walks of life, would never marry a woman like that. Of course there are men who don't care how many men their wives have received, so I guess such women aren't devalued for those men. But there are many, many men for whom such women are considerably devalued.

FYI many women would not accept a man who has had sex with many women as a partner either. It goes both ways.
