Shakespeare's Sister has a great post (Who's Afraid of Virgins?) critiquing this wholly lame Salon article on the "tragedy" of virgins in their 30's.
I don't have a huge amount to add to the subject, other than "what she said" but I wanted to link to it because I know several people who would find the subject matter interesting. And I'd point out that the fact that I know several people who would find the subject interesting sort of reinforces the point that Salon's take is pretty damn lame. And I'd also point out that the idea that someone would run screaming if they found out their date was a virgin is pretty simplistic and shallow, too. The cite some examples of guys who "backed off" -- they were jerks, and probably not worth wasting time on anyway.
