Thanks to the new book Thanks For Coming: One Young Woman's Quest For An Orgasm, the topic of the elusive female orgasm is back in the news. Maura Altman, the author of the book, lost her virginity at 17, but didn't lose her orgasm virginity until 26, when she finally decided to buy a vibrator.
The 377-page overshare inspired a lady writer over at the Daily Beast to one-up Maura by sharing that she didn't have her first orgasm until the age of 30 — so, ha!

"I would have lost my virginity earlier than I did at 22. I had the public and all this pressure, and I wish I had just gotten it over with in the beginning when it was sort of OK. I think I would have been much more in touch with myself.

Even if I didn't save myself for marriage, I have friends who did, often for religious reasons, and it was sweet to imagine them having a real "wedding night" on their wedding night. On last night's episode of The Hills, Heidi's Southern-Baptist high-school boyfriend, Colby, and his girlfriend come to visit; the couple doesn't drink and sleeps in separate hotel rooms. They're very open about the fact that they're waiting to do "it" until saying "I do."

Dear Sugar,
I have been dating this wonderful guy for about three months now. We always have a great time together and the chemistry is undeniable. He has initiated sex before, but I told him I wasn't ready yet.

Dear Sugar,
I'm not a virgin, but my fiancé thinks I am. When we first started dating, I wasn't ready to have sex with him — my first and only time was extremely traumatic for me — so I lied to him, and have continued to lie to him for over a year now. I know I made a big mistake, and it's been weighing heavily on my conscience.

For years, there has been an ongoing battle between two opposing ways of schooling: sex education and abstinence only education. A new study may help sex education win this war once and for all since research shows that encouraging teens to be abstinent until marriage is ineffective. For teens who are taught to wait, some are also encouraged to publicly declare their decision to remain a virgin.

Dear Sugar,
I have been dating my boyfriend for about a year and a half now. He had never been with a girl before me, and as a result of his lack of experience, he's never given me an orgasm. Since he's inexperienced, I don't think he realizes just how much effort it takes to help a woman climax.

Dear Sugar,
I met this really amazing guy about two months ago, and we hit it off extremely well. Soon after I met him we both exchanged pieces of rather fragile information. I have an STI, and he is a virgin.

I'm a virgin and I want to sleep with my boyfriend of a few months. We tried having sex (I have some experience but I haven't mentioned that I've never actually gotten as far as having full-on sex), but I was too dry and couldn't. I wanted to, but I panicked.
