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.
