I can handle "scene virgins" rather well. I have no problem teaching, discussing and opening up learning opportunities. If we get to know each other pretty well, I like to show them whatever they show an interest in or I am usually able to refer them to others who can explain certain kinks better. As for sexual virgins, I tend to back up a step. If I've got a solid enough grounding about the rest of their life, it might never be an issue. The bigest factor is usually how they handle it. If they are always talking about their virginity, waving it like a flag, or a threat, then there are obviously other psychological issues which would deter me from involvement with them in that realm. If they are a fanatic about the topic, though, it would probably end our interaction altogether. If it just happens to come up in discussions over time, then it's probably fine as long as they don't have any fears or phobias surrounding it that cannot be dealt with. So, it comes down to the reason that they are a virgin. If it's out of fear, obsession, or sexual hangups, then it's a sign that there may be more baggage to deal with. If it's simply a matter of lack of opportunity or choice without baggage, then I don't see it as an issue. I do know of, and have been involved with more than one "late bloomer." People who, for one reason or another, went through adolescence and a good part of young adulthood before the desire ever struck them. Now, they are interested, and interested is ok. One was obsessed, though, worse than most pubescent teenagers, and it has never seemed to get handled. So, there's caution there, in some cases. If the person is otherwise valuable and lovable, then it's like any other adventure we can have together after trust and security have been established. (That's MY relationships. If they want a quicky event to get it over with, then that's someone elses party to have.) Purr
