I thought about this young man's location and wondered if this feeling was natural in his culture. Then I thought of the Bible story about King David and Bathsheba, which I believe is well known, even in North Africa. David had a harem full of women who came to him as virgins, and he could order up more untouched girls, whenever he cared to. Yet, he went to great lenths to get Bathsheba, who was not a virgin, even arranging the death of her husband. He married her and elevated her above all his other wives, making her his queen and designating her son, Solomon, as heir to his throne. (I recognize that some Muslims interpret the story very differently. But all accept that Bathsheba was not a virgin.) This was in a place and time when virginal status was far more prized than it is today.

@Joo321, if you are ever lucky enough to be in bed with a non-virgin who is pretty, likes you, and treats you affectionately, your reproductive equipment will not care in the least about her non-virginal status.
