Virgin is an insult? I guess I can see where it might be used as one, but I never heard it that way. Confessing my virginity to the person I first had sex with at 25 was mildly embarassing, but he had to know I had absolutely no experience whatsoever.

Yeah, 25. To be fair, I had a boyfriend in high school who I wanted to have sex with, but he wasn’t ready. So we didn’t. I bet that sort of story is a lot more common than a lot of teenagers think!
