Re Arwen's comment:
   "Sex is something incredibly beautiful and wonderful and something that I
   would only wish to share with someone I really want to spend the rest of
   my life with."

My first impression is that this is one of the most selfish remarks that I
have seen in a long time.  If sex is so wonderful, why not share it with as
many people as possible??

   The obvious reply would be that sex loses its wonderfulness if shared
indiscriminately.  This is true, but sex can be used without harm with those
whom one loves, even if they are not a choice as a lifetime live-in partner.

   My second impression is: How can someone who claims to be a virgin know
how great or wonderful or precious sex really is?  They can only rely on
hearsay, and on a topic with so many varied opinions available, how can they
possibly choose the "right" answer?
