I used to belong to a forum devoted to mocking the purity movement. Yes, I am horrible.
Some individuals in the purity movement believe that any stray sexual thought is a form of adultery toward their future spouse. Many of them believe that any type of masturbation is wrong also.( I swear to the flying spaghetti monster that is true. ) It isn't just that the couple are physical virgins, they don't even have the slightest idea what their own needs are. My first sexual experience was with another virgin but we each has some rough idea what felt good for our own bodies.
I might make a new thread with some links. Purity culture is amazingly weird and sad.
There is nothing wrong with waiting to have sex until you are married or in having multiple partners either. The purity culture adds a layer of guilt and shame that doesn't have to be part of young people's lives.
