Assuming I were free (had the time) for another relationship, definitely not a dealbreaker. Nor would her continued virginity (i.e., we don’t end up ever having sex) necessarily be a dealbreaker. It’s an advantage to being poly, I think. No relationship has to be everything or meet every need (aside from good connection and shared joy on some level).
