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.

    there are plenty of involuntary male virgins

    but that is becaue they lack the looks and social skills to get any woman to sleep with them without paying for it. I suppose the concept of involunary in this case isn't complicated enough to warrant much discussion. How can it be truly involuntary if there are people willing to do the deed. If a woman goes online and can't acquire a reasonably sized pool of volunteers then I'd start to take the involuntary componet more seriously.
