In this paper we have shown how the diffusion of female virginity can be affected by economic variables. Using a very parsimonious mating model of the marriage market, where preserving her virtue helps a girl to improve her odds of gaining a “good” marriage, we have obtained results that are fairly consistent with historical and cross-cultural evidence. In particular, increased female participation on the labour market, decreasing inequality and stronger social stratification might be responsible for the decline of virginity as a social value.
