I am a Turkish lady who is living in Istanbul.

I find that kind of comments very stupid in the 21th century.

Nobady I have met so far has a virginity obssesion.

Even the traditional Turkish guys marry with non virgin western women.

I see that kind of comments of people who do not want to see Turkey as a modern country.

I did my studies in Uk and turned back to Istanbul to work where I feel quite free and find the people more sharing and helpful comparing to westerns.

Anyone can fall in love with anyone due to physical attraction it has nothing to do with the culture.
