From a Korean
“So, I have been thinking about what you said yesterday about the whole women leaving the door open or not be allowed in a man’s room or apartment thing. It really has caught my attention since it is so far removed from American culture and norms. My question is; if men and women are not allowed to be in a room together alone before marriage then do they not have sex?”
“No, they don’t.”
“They’re virgins till marriage?”
“Yes. Most Koreans do not have sex before marriage.”
“Both men and women?”
“Yes. But more women are virgins than men.”
“How is that possible? Don’t the men have sex with women to not be virgins?”
“You know how in Korea all men have to serve in the military?” I nod my head. “Their senior and junior officers take them to get sex for pay. It is a regular part of what happens when boys go to the military. Many say they have not done it but we all know they have.”
“So prostitution is how most boys lose the virginity?”
“Yes. It is very normal in Korea. Most girls do not have sex before marriage. If they get married and the girl has already had sex with a man, they will get separated immediately.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Most men will not marry a women who is not a virgin.”
“Really?” For a guy who talks as much as I do, my vocabulary as an English teacher was becoming very limited to just one word; Really? “It is like Muslim culture?”
“Michael, it is Korean culture.” I am beginning to find out that the answer to anything that Koreans feel insecure or embarrassed about is; “It is Korean culture”.

This just shows how out of touch with reality some females are.
Watching too many of those Korean drama's.
