Who is a secondary virgin

I won't marry a couple who is sexually active. But not every clergyman takes Mr. Witte's approach. As the Rev. Chuck Williamson, the minister at another Charlotte church, Steele Creek Presbyterian, put it: ''I assume that most every couple who comes to me is sexually active. I don't advise them about sex -- more marriage problems are due to money.

I'll talk about the importance of communication. If they are sexually active, it doesn't have any moral standing to 'revirgin' themselves. Sexual abstinence is nothing new, of course: it is prescribed for Muslims from sunrise to sunset during Ramadan, Roman Catholics during Lent and Orthodox Jews during a woman's menstrual period. As a subject of popular culture, it dates to the Aristophanes play ''Lysistrata,'' in which the women of Athens go on a sex strike to protest the Peloponnesian War, and it continues today, in the recent movie ''40 Days and 40 Nights,'' starring Josh Hartnett.

But a period of ''secondary virginity'' for engaged couples seems to have caught on primarily in the South. It is not really class-based, but is regionally emphasized where there are more conservative Christians.

On top of that there is the influence of the age-old myth of demure Southern womanhood, personified by Melanie Hamilton in ''Gone With the Wind.

Long before the 20th century, this symbol justified the double standard, with the man straying outside the marriage to slaves or prostitutes so he didn't inflict his bestial desires on the Southern holy woman.
