Why do our cultures teach boys that women who are sexually active are "damaged goods”?

Many women are sexually active for a number of reasons. Some just because they want sex and many others because they have been rejected by a lover or are feeling unattractive and not desirable because of a cheating mate or abuse. Some are in their 30s and 40s and are made to feel old and unwanted by that age. (That's another problem that is unfair to women.) When I first started going with my wife I thought that I was so lucky to have found a woman this good. When I found out about her sexual past, she automatically became a slut to me. My relatives would have demanded that I stop seeing her if they had known. That was when I was 34 years old. Why are we made to feel this way? Is it because of what we are told when young or is it just how the male brain works? My wife also didn't feel good about herself. She wasn't told things directly as a youth as I was, but it was made clear which women in town were cheap. She had bad feelings about herself and that is why she had a need to tell me.I'm not trying to condone any sexual behavior by either men or women, but there are times in a persons life when they need something and do things that they may not be proud of later. These women are not sluts. They are good and loving women that are hurting and need to feel loved. A lot of women answer these men's questions by telling their own stories of rejection and looking for love. Many say that they did what they needed to. Some are happy with they did and others wish they had been a little more discretionary. None of these women who are needing something are sluts. Why do we have to be taught to treat them like they are?
