When the word "virgin" popped up in the 7th or 8th grade, during a health or science lesson, I never related it to sex. In fact at the time I just thought they meant "virgin" as in, The Virgin Mary, and at the time, as embarrassing as this is to admit, I didnt really understand why they called The Virgin Mary, The Virgin Mary anyway. I never would put sex and religion together. Virgin, was just a word i didnt know.
