I am currently reading Virgin: The Untouched History, which is far less titillating than you'd think, and contains way more information about genitalia than you probably ever wanted to know. Mostly, though, you can't talk about virginity without talking about why it has been historically so prized—as a means to control women's sexuality and take away their choice as to when and how they have sex. It reminds me why there were feminists in the first place. Lest it seem that only women have been subjected to ludicrous tests of their virginity (her nipples point down! she must be a ho!), here's a little tidbit for you:

In medieval times, some people believed that if a boy's voice cracked before he was seventeen, that was proof that he'd had homosexual encounters. So how bout it guys—when did your voice crack?

My voice started changing in 7th grade, so I'd have been 12 or 13 at the time. Of course, I enjoy cooking, knitting, and musical theater; therefore it should already be common knowledge that I'm the gayest gaylord who ever gayed.

Plus, you're hirsute, and you know what that means.
