Question:

Should my fiction character be a virgin?

I have been thinking about the story for a long time. It is about the main character (a girl) who undergoes self acceptance and discovery when she falls in love for the first time. She dates the guy then goes to two others before coming back to the main one. I hadn't really given thought to if she should be a virgin BEFORE she meets him. It is important b/c she is innocent/alone beforehand, but I don't want her to be too pure.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: How about making it vague? Don't say that she's experienced but perhaps hint that there was something from her past. Leave it to the reader's imagination. Depending on the reader, that "something" could be anything from secret fantasies to orgies.
Just leave it vague and focus on what she is like now.
