There's nothing wrong with a person reaching 40 and still being a virgin, and it doesn't indicate that there's something wrong with him/her.

Well, if it takes someone 40 years to be mature enough to handle sex, I'd say that *could* be indicative of an underlying problem. Unassisted fertility rates drop dramatically for women past the age of 40. From a biological standpoint, the survival of our species depends, in part, upon women being able to procreate before they reach 40.

Nothing is wrong with waiting for marriage, if that's what one wants to do. However, it should be understood that there can be consequences of waiting for marriage, just like there can be consequences of having sex too early.
