Jessica Valenti (who admittedly is the quintessential White Feminist in that she only talks about white problems as if they are universal*) has a book called The Purity Myth that talks a lot about this. Its pretty creepy and they always had the incestuous overtones.
*Actually wouldn't mind talking about this, I'm sure its not just a white thing but she goes on about how the idea of virginity and purity puts girls on unfair pedestals, but the thing is in our society its only white women who are viewed as pure and chaste if they follow these sets of rules; women of colour are hypersexualized from a very young age and do not reap the supposed benefits of "virgin privilege".
