The central notion of virginity almost always applies to women, not men (the English word "virgin" is derived from the Latin, meaning "young woman"). Female virginity matters more than male virginity because females are virtually always certain of who their children are, while men are often in doubt. It is an evolutionary disaster for a man to raise a genetically unrelated child, and so it matters hugely to him whom his partner has had sex with in her immediate past, with the best answer being: nobody.
