Kaelynn,

The answer to this is a complex web of social expectation and jealousy.

Society expects that single girls must remain as pretty yet sexless as Barbie to maintain the

marriage market value of the blushing bride. The word dowry comes to mind, as well as the social value

of having a pure, god-fearing vessel to extend the blood-line.

This attitude does not take into account that these same pure as the driven snow girls

will tease a man to within inches of his sanity, then send him away to slake the stoked

fire on lesser girls.

The jealousy part is that you are doing things that they dare not do for fear of risking their

status as good girls. The only way they can deal with that is to try and lessen you as

a person and as a sexual being.

If you let them do this to you, then that is truly your loss.
