The whole idea of virginity has undergone a cultural shift. It’s still a big deal for most people, but it’s not the be-all-and-end-all it once was (especially for women).

It’s possible to want to have sex with your partner even if your body isn’t hot and bothered yet (because you love the person, want the connection, whatever). It’s also possible to experience all the signs of physical arousal […]
