@Troy Actually, i can't speak to whether or not virginity was prized by black guys back in the 1950s. Maybe they wanted to marry virgins but the girls who were puttin out got the guys, who sometimes did marry them. I or any of my friends never wanted to marry a male virgin, the assumption being he wouldn't know what he was doing and we wanted someone who did know what they were doing.
When i lived in a college dorm, a group of us black girls had a virgin club, where we would discuss what we knew or had heard about sex. i was totally miffed by the end of the year when it turned out that everyone but me had been lying about being a virgin. That's when i found out women aren't always truthful about their sex lives. I was the only one who wasn't in on the joke and they were just humoring little "small town girl me".
I am reluctant to discuss my sex life but i will say that when my fiance found out i was a virgin, he slapped his forehead and "oooh,no"!
i was too much of a free spirit to think i should go through life having been with just one man - and i didn't. i will further say that drinking alcohol emboldens you and increases the desire but it also dulls your nerve endings.
There was one guy on my job who i really was attracted to because he just respired with sexuality and he was "fione" and smart to boot. He was working his way through college and before he left after being a co-worker for about 6 months, he told me that it he refrained from seducing me because he didn't think i could handle him. i just sighed and wished him well.
