I still don't understand why anyone would willingly marry a virgin.

"Really? You've never done this? Me neither. Clearly, we should promise to do it to each other for the rest of our lives, without even knowing if we're a good fit."

Polygamy could be OK though.

Not that I was actively seeking a virgin, but I did end up marrying one. I was nervous about potential incompatibility issues, but things worked out great.

She is Chinese, shy and very traditional from a cultural point of view, not a religious one. Most cultures prized virgins for marriage at some point. I am not saying it is right or wrong, but while I was having the pre-marriage jitters, I was also kind of patting myself on the back for having a virgin wife for a few hours.

Were you a virgin as well?

No. Maybe that's why it was/is good. I think the virgin thing has less of a risk if someone has experience. As lame as it sounds the double standard of experienced man with virgin wife, may actually lead to a strong(er) marriage.

That's because she takes your word for it that you're an equine sex god.

I never said it was good for her.

Marrying a virgin is like buying a pig in a poke.

One of my friends on Facebook posted this on her wall. Someone commented "These are all from the Old Testament I see." The reply: "What's your point?" So far, no response from the first commenter.
