* ''ComicBook/{{Grandville}}'': Completely averted with [=LeBrock=] and Billie, seeing that he actually met her at a high-class brothel during police work and being fully aware of her occupation as a prostitute. And he's totally fine with it, both using her services when she offers it and casually chatting with her about her work and potential clients when they hang out. This develops to the point where once she decides she likes him, she is the one more bothered by her profession out of the two.

For the last few hundred or more years, sexually active men have often been admired for their virility and sexual "conquests" (unless he is a cad, or [[UnusualEuphemism picking only low hanging fruit]])[[note]]It's not like things have always been that way for everyone. Culture in [[UsefulNotes/DynastiesFromShangToQing Ming Dynasty China]], for instance, held that a man was manly either by being a chaste warrior or an incredibly promiscuous and scholarly/cultured [[{{bishounen}} pretty-boy]]. One's life expectancy was supposed to be ''radically'' shorter if one was in the latter category, in part because medical science speculated that male ejaculation entailed transferring some of one's finite store of (male) life force to the receiver (which is why male masturbation was avoided by anyone with good sense), but largely because of all the jealous lovers and husbands, not to mention [=STIs=].[[/note]] while a sexually active woman is more likely to be seen as being a trashy whore. For a man, the loss of his virginity is an achievement. For a woman, it is a surrender or, if outside of marriage, [[DefiledForever a filthy defilement]]. Before birth control became readily available, this DoubleStandard probably had something to do with how a man can have hundreds of partners without any discernible consequence (barring [=STDs=]), whereas a woman in the same position would most likely be irreversibly changed into a mother forever.
This means that the leading lady will be in a monogamous "meaningful relationship", usually with the leading man, while the leading man will have a varied and adventurous sex life. Anyone knocking the chastity of the hero's girl is even more likely to get punched out than anyone calling the hero [[VirginShaming a virgin]]. It could sometimes look like TheHero can womanize happily to his heart's (or other organs') content, but [[IWillWaitForYou his best girl will still wait for him]]. This is why NatureAdoresAVirgin.
This is OlderThanFeudalism, due to the historical sexual DoubleStandard.

Back at home, Odysseus's wife Penelope remained faithful for 20 years, which was sort of the minimum acceptable behavior for a woman -- the unfaithful women in the story, Helen and Clytemnaestra, are viewed as responsible for some pretty major tragedies.

Plus, you have three virgin goddesses (Hestia, Athena, Artemis) but ''definitely'' no virgin gods.
