only if it's done in a sex positive way that doesn't infantilise the less experienced partner or fetishise virginity... Especially the whole "I never had one sexual thought before I met you" thing, ick ick.
Thiiiiis x infinity. I'm a virgin, but damn if I'm pure of mind! I don't mind reading romances where the chick's a virgin because I identify with that, but then it just grates on me how often the writers c/p the same tired scenario where the character's basically a nun with no idea of basic human anatomy and 'le gasp, what is this stirring in my nether regions, oh my!' and bleurgh.
I don't think I've found one romance novel yet where the heroine's a virgin who actually knows what body parts sex involves and it's ridiculous, especially when set in the modern day. What is the internet for?! (I want to go find that Harry Potter 'the internet is for porn' vid now, lol)
