Actually the reverse is opposite in some cultures which is quite unforunate and it is thought that the more experience one has has sexually the better. There are many young people who are laughed at for being a virgin at a certain age. I personally was laughed at because of my stance on virginity. I am grateful that I have only been with my Husband sexually and no other man. I am deciding at the moment whether Islam is for me. My search goes on for the real Islam. What has escalated that search at the moment is the fact that I am pregnant. The best example that I can find at the moment of good muslim is my Husband, but having said that we still would disagree on a lot of issues. My child will be muslin, inshallah, so i owe it to them at least to educate myself. As is with christianity, if you dont practice walk the walk, what is the point?
