- OK then, Guy: what do you mean by "virgin"? My simple off-the-cuff
- version definition is "someone who hasn't had sex" - but that opens
- the can of worms about what constitutes "sex. And you say that
- saying virgin to you doesn't equate with saying not having been
- sexual. I think I'd like clarification, if you'll give it.
