1) NEVER think that you will be ridiculed if you are a virgin. if you are ashamed then it automatically proves that you stayed virgin simply because you did NOT get a chance/opportunity for sex. :P. have some more confidence on yourself. tell them that it was your own choice to remain sacred ie. virgin :P. didn't you? :P 2) there ARE still quite a lot virgin girls around. i would not know the statistics and it may be true that there are lesser number of virgin girls (nepali or non-nepali) these days than it used to be say few years back BUT there are still quite a lot virgin girls in and outside nepal. please come out of the prejudice that there are no more virgin girls. 3) don't make virginity a big issue. being virigin all throughout until after marriage is NOT the only indicator to prove that a person is genuine. there are lots of other parameters to measure a person's faithfulness, loyalty and sincerity in a relationship. BUT i would truly respect a person who stayed virgin by choice- that alone can talk a lot about his/her ethics, morality, commitment and dedication for his/her better half. LooTe
