Well, yeah. Especially by the later years of college, the norm is not to be a virgin anymore. Not that I'm saying that's how it should be, but that's just a description of how things are in 2002. Plenty of college-aged girls never really thought they should/would wait for marriage (especially considering the AVERAGE age to get married is around 25/26 now)... at least they gave up on the thought of waiting once they passed junior high.... and a good portion of those who do still idealize abstinence before marriage end up not exactly following that in the face of temptation.
The truth is (statistically), the VAST majority of women/men aren't virgins on their wedding night. If you actually are, more power to you, but you are a rarity. The norm now, and for a pretty long time, has been premarital sex (which I think is a dumb term since people have, on average, about a decade of premarital sex)... whether people kept it hush-hush or talked about it openly (as lots do today).
