A childhood belief about virginity

When i was aroun 8 or so i heard the term "Virgin" applied to 16-17 year old female friend of the family. Naturally i asked my dad what it meant. He told me a virgin was "tease" and proceeded to elaborate further. By the end of his rant i had a very low opinion of "Virgin's." I now know that he held this particular girl in quite a bit of contempt at the time. Im sure he thought i forgot all about it but when a new neighbor moved in next door (about 30 years old with 2 children) i was very concerned and thougfht it neccesary to ask her if she was a virgin... I remember to this day her surpsrise when i asked that question (we had just met). After her initial shock she proceeded to ask me what i thought a virgin was. I remmebr explaining it to her... Funny her and my dad never quite got a long the whole time we lived there... :)
