Virginity is respected and valued in many societies, especially female virginity, which is often interwoven with personal or family honor in some cultures. Some men place importance on a woman's virginity, especially in a prospective wife. However, male virginity and chastity is often less of a priority than female virginity for conservatives. Although conservatives typically exhort girls and women to save themselves for their future husbands, male abstinence outside of marriage is primarily discussed in the context of respecting the father or husband of the woman in question, and not in terms of respecting the woman's wishes.
