Show me evidence in the article that she "really won't feel happy until we all do like she does." I see no suggestion that she is trying to impose her beliefs on others; she is merely showing us what has brought her happiness.
My name for this kind of person? Neoprude.
So if you think she is a prude, please tell us how much sex without marriage you think is okay, neither prudish nor slutty. Where is the balance?
Like I said in the quote from the Gawker article, she's written a book on the subject of being a virgin again. People write books in order to sway other people's thinking. I guess I was just generalizing from my experience with very vocal religious people who are always trying to get everyone else to see the error of their ways.

Happy to oblige you. The correct amount is the amount you can handle. If you've taken all due precautions on disease transmission and conception prevention, have all you think you can handle without going into some sort of major funk over it. For some people, that is going to mean sex with condoms with someone who has also been tested for STDs, that they just met, and are hitting it off with, and for others, that means being sexual with the person who has promised to marry you.
By all means, if you cannot deal with premarital sex, then absolutely refrain from it. But don't expect everyone to emulate or admire you for it, especially if you're squeamish about kissing.
