The 30-year-old virgins

It was once a badge of honor. But to the surprising number of adult women today who have not had sex, virginity is nothing but a curse.

    Normal?

    OK, so what is this article telling us? Most women have sex at a relatively young age, that is before they graduate from college.

    But some don't. Most of the don'ts are religiously motivated, but some are disabled or have handicaps or illnesses, and some, a few, have psychological hangups that stop them from ever having sex.

    Nothing much surprising about that, and the current epidemic of obesity must surely account for at least some of the virgins.

    As a man who has no interest at all in deflowering a virgin, I would have to agree that warning flags would go up if I encountered a chronologically mature woman who had never had sex. I don't see what is wrong with that.

    In the slightly unlikely event of there being a woman in her mid twenties who is attractive, personable, and just hasn't got around to having sex yet because she is too busy doing other things, yet now wants to get laid,

    my suggestion to her would be to go on vacation alone somewhere where no one knows her and screw the first presentable man who comes along. No one will ever know her secret.

    If she wants to really impress the man, then she should fake a nice loud orgasm, and he will think she is the bee's knees.
