I speak only for myself, but i'd prefer it if my lady had more experience. The issue of virginity is overrated in my opinion - it seems to have evolved into something we all have been conditioned to 'want' in a partner, in the same way we wish they are tall, dark, handsome, pretty, good figure, et cetera.
And as all 'conditions' go, this one is unfortunately not very reasonable to ask. (I know i'm risking the fire from others, but it's just my opinion) We are all human, and it is us to err. Perhaps some person in your life has erred in this fashion doesn't mean they are any worse off than one who has say, a history of drug-abuse. So i say look beyond the surface to what's beneath.
Another reason is because its a very large responsibility to ever be a person's first lover. If things work out well, then this person may never sleep with another - all her/his sexual happiness is in your hands. It's like being someone's first BF/GF, because there is popular belief that one's first relationship (BGR) shapes the course of their entire life with regards to future BGRs. Now, just think of this in a greater, irreversible context to see the amount of responsibility entailed into being someone's first lover.
All said and done, i believe that 'virginity' is simply one more condition we attach to partners we wish to have. And as humans, some of us may not have it due to previous errors or experiences, but it doesn't make these people any less perfect than anyone else out there.
