Well, the whole maintain your purity before marriage thing has always been inequally applied to men as compared to women. I bet the issue never even occurred to the writers, as it may well not have occurred even to many devout Catholic men.

That's a good point actually. Though, in that case I'd expect the men to say it doesn't apply to them. At least in my experience, seriously religious people don't just shrug. They come up with some reason to justify it, at least in their own mind.

I wouldn't expect men to say it doesn't apply to them. Because while it's true, lots of people aren't comfortable with acknowledging sexist double standards, especially if they're benefiting from them. And like you said, perhaps they've already mentally rationalized it in their heads. In conservative circles, virginity is something that is valued in women, but it's often considered a flaw in men. Men are supposed to want to sow their oats, and while it might technically be a no-no, people are far more inclined to wink and say something, well, boys will be boys, etc.

Booth's character is written as a manly man, a dude's dude. So he has many qualities that would be prized in the ideal man, and being a virgin until he's married simply wouldn't be one of those qualities.
