As a very concerned person, I care enough to write to you because I hope I can spare your life.
Being a virgin, not only pleases God, but saves you from many terrible diseases. Like syphilius, gonorrhea, genitile warts, etc..., that can make you miserable, and keep you from marrying the person you love if they believe in virginity, also. So you are making a wise choice.
But, if you walk into a large hospital, such as the well known MD Anderson Cancer Hospital, you will find virgins with breast cancer, cervical cancer, other cancers, other diseases. Cancer doesn't CARE if you are a virgin, or sexual active, or white, black or purple. Cancer, heart disease, and other health problems do not care what you do with your life, except some, may be lessened by nutrition. How many times do we read or see on TV, of young people who have a heart problem and fall down dead. No one knew, and it was from birth. The girl across the street, had open heart surgery, because, unknowingly, at birth, she had a heart problem. At times, her heart would circulate the wrong way, but it didn't happen much, but she felt something "strange". In her 20's, it got so bad when she had "spells", she was dying unless they did immediate open heart surgey. Sex played no role.
I beg you to look up the health issues that unprotected sex can cause, and you will find that these things are not listed. Cancers of some types will be listed, but what this community question on health and the tests involved, are those that haven't boundaries.
I do applaude you for "saving" yourself, of if you are young, I still would encourage you to "wait". That doesn't mean the one you marry is free from sexually transmitted illnesses, but that is for you to decide how to handle.
And, yes, I'm the one who said that the eye exam was important to me, as it showed what nothing else did, and possibly saved me from alot. But, I don't want you to go through life, thinking that "not having sex" will exempt you from realities.
