Nope, and I'm keeping it that way. No matter what the OP says about virginity not being a virtue, it's still something you can't ever get back.
That's what an experience is. When you say you can't get something back, you're ignoring the fact that you're getting something in its stead. The very concept of virginity is simply a mark of importance placed by a culture upon sex. I mean, do what you want, believe what you want, but the whole cultural value of virginity and sex baffles me. Why should virginity indicate some kind of purity? What does purity even mean in that context? Some kind of preferred state of being or something? I mean, you could argue that whatever you know about sex is probably* peppered with information gained from porn, whether you've had sex or not, as well as horror stories, lies and exaggerations and I'd hardly call that "pure".
I mean, hell, people should be wanting new experiences, not avoiding them for fear that they'd eventually want to forget those memories forever. I'd even argue that physical exploration of a concept (i.e. having sex) purifies it of the B.S. and makes it real to you, allowing for you to explore yourself in a way you never could before. If that makes sense. Hopefully it will.
Of course if you're simply not ready, then more power to you and do what you want yadda yadda yadda.
