When I was a teenager, the subject of virginity seemed to emerge all the time. We were quite taken with it.  We concerned ourselves greatly about who was, and who was not one, and who might cease to be one; it mattered greatly who intended to go on being one for much longer, and we all wondered what might happen when we weren't one anymore.

Now that I am sixty, the subject never comes up.  It's possible it really wasn't that important.
