Frst off, I think it's HIGHLY stupid to look down on someone just because of their sexual decisions, virgin or otherwise. This was something that bothered me a LOT when I was a virgin... how haughty people were about having lost their virginity, and that something was wrong with me for not having had sex.
I waited till I was 24, and so was my bf. While I am glad I didn't wait till marriage (was planning to do that until I was 23 or so), I am VERY glad that my bf and were pretty much each other's firsts... I was NOT emotionally ready to have sex before that age, and I would have thrown about twenty boulders in my sack if I had indulged before that time.
I think it's really crucial to wait until you are mature enough to handle the possibility of getting pregnant, getting STD's, etc. If you're ready at 18, then go for it. If not, wait until you AND your partner are ready. Personally, I turned down quite a few assholes who wanted to have sex with me, and I found out where their heart really was. It's a damn good test to see where someone's motives really are. So if you're 40 and a virgin, I don't really care... as long as it's your choice to be that way.
