Oh my goodness, I agree with this so fucking much! I can't even!
I have nothing against virgins (we are all one at some point, right? ^^) or virginity in general. They are a state of being, a state of mind, and there's nothing wrong with waiting for the right moment or the right person or the right reason. However, like you, I don't see why there's such a...kink(?) for virgin heroines. I think it is sexy to be with someone who knows what they're doing and has confidence…notice: this could apply to a virgin. I don't understand why virgins are portrayed as completely inexperienced or downright dumb when it comes to sex. Imagination and experience, virginity and exploration - they are not mutually exclusive.
Oh, and of course it absolutely outrages me when someone (usually a woman *blah*) has their worth or power somehow tied to or based on their virginity. *grrrr*
