Yes, all culturally imposed chastity symbols have been corrupted this way. Once I got the idea to buy a black Saudi style protective dress (including a face veil, otherwise I don't pass as real) and walked around in a city with a large Muslim population. My purpose was to see whether people would be racist toward me. One older man gave me an angry look. Otherwise, everyone behaved very correctly. Except for a short, overweight man who said he had come from Iraq six weeks ago, and not had sex during all that time. He was married and had children, he explained, but his wife was in Iraq so now he needed a stand-in for her. He asked if I would take that role. In my normal clothes, I have never got such brave offers while walking through a Swedish city.
The question is: Can't Western societies be more open to choice that traditional societies? For example, people openly say that they are poly. Isn't that quite much like saying "I'm slutty"? And still, it is socially accepted among many people.
Isn't that sign that all men aren't that into female chastity after all? I think that when marital rape became a concept, the value of female chastity decreased. As long as women were more or less obliged to have sex with their husbands, chastity was higher valued. Nowadays, being caught in a marriage with a too chaste woman who doesn't want to have sex at all is a real risk men face. For that reason, I'm not sure women signalling no thanks to casual sex would be the most popular.
I live in semi-rural America in the Deep South. I can assure you that while people don't speak in terms of "polyamory" they behave just like people everywhere do.
That's because they aren't forced to pay one percent of their taxes to a public broadcasting monopoly! A year ago a local friend told me about the hilarious idea that there can be three people instead of two in a relationship. He just saw that on TV, he said.

Nobody openly declares a polyamorous preference in rural America. (Bless their hearts, no one knows what the word even means in rural America.)
