A while ago a woman asked me: “Have you ever slept with a virgin?” The question surprised me, especially coming from a woman.
I answered: “To the best of my knowledge I never deflowered a woman.”

“Well,” she said, “in my time I deflowered quite few boys and I can recommend it.”

Tonight I saw the movie “Shall we kiss” for the second time; this time with a friend and for one reason or another I thought about the conversation with the woman.
If it’s true, as the German novelist Daniel Kehlmann claims, that an author doesn’t know anything and that he starts from scratch with every new book, then you can also argue that a lover starts from scratch with every new partner.
Whatever we do, deep inside us there is an eternal virgin.
