    I want to stay a virgin because I don’t like sex. If I wasn’t a virgin, it would mean something very bad had happened to me.

      Worst case scenario, you lose your chance at wizardry at the age of 30. Keep it at all costs friend.

      The magic missile and fireballs are well worth it. Especially the spell “mend buttcrack”.

    • That’s not how I meant it.

      There’s a cultural value in virginity in girls. It’s pretty common across cultures: for marriage, virgin women are more desirable than non-virgins. It’s biased; the virginity only increases value for girls, and it probably stems from men wanting to be sure than any prodigy are actually theirs. Women can be nearly 100% sure a kid they have is theirs (not quite 100%, as there’s a brief period when a channeling swap could conceivably be made), but the men can never be certain. The best odds you have is to get yourself a virgin. So female virginity has been valued through history (by men), and I think this is where the fetish of having sex with virgins comes from.

      That’s what I’m taking about. I’ve never understood the appeal of “being a girl’s/boy’s first.”
