Virginity = ignorance. It was originally promulgated for several reasons and was based upon several erroneous beliefs.
To wit:

1. sex turned people away from God and made them devoted to their life here and now - wife and kids included.
2. sex is dirty, bestial, and repugnant - the ONLY way to make it decent and fit for humans was between married couples
3. even between married couples - sex was ONLY for reproduction
4. the woman who has sex was tainted forever and therefore became as 2 above (Lamarck) - as well as used goods
5. should a woman enjoy sex even within marriage - she was a slut and not worthy of her husband's respect and regard
6. if a husband screwed around outside of marriage and brought home a disease - it was his wife's fault

The onous fell upon women because St. Augustine of Hippo would get an erection if a lucious girl wandered by, naturally he blamed her because 'after all she was the daughter of Eve' the destroyer of Eden.

I find it interesting that your boyfriend would want to be a party to such a disgusting creed.
Your value as a human being does NOT lie between your legs!

I am aware that some think having sex without marriage "cheapens" the relationship, the woman, and maybe the man as well.
But there is nothing at all cheap about sex - it is such a wonderful way of expressing yourself!
