Hmmm. You don't seem to have read my post very carefully. Anyway, what I think of virginity is that it is reasonable at a young age... increasingly a distortion of the human personality as time goes on. I acknowledge that individual exceptions may exist, but in the main, I think the distortion and loss of humanity is real. I believe that for the vast majority of people an intimate relationship with another human being is deeply desired, and the only real path to God (insert your definition or understanding of "divinity" here.) I don't advocate waiting for marriage.... I got married at 33.... years too late.... no virgin was I... but I was ready at age 17, and so are most people so long as their marriages are supported by their parents and society. (If not? Well then you've got a mess.... lots of unhealthy sex... lots of unhealthy avoidance of sex.) Yeah, I'm radically pro-marriage. That's WHY I'm anti-prolonged virginity. Think of it that way
