I thought it was 72 virgins. And anyway, what if you get tired of virgins after the first dozen or so? And even if you don't, what do you do when you're done deflowering your share?
My thoughts exactly.
What's all the enthusiasm for so many virgins afterall? I'd give a few or many or perhaps all of the 72-80 virgins for one good romp with that lusty Mae West in her prime.
Doesn't the thing seem wholly overrated?
Now that I think of it, perhaps there's some muslim defloration ceremony.
I could be terribly wrong here, but there seems to be a streak of the rapist/pillage/plunderer in the culture, that is to say, the culture appears to celebrate the ability of one individual to dominate another, or others.
Perhaps their status is heaven is advanced with each successful, successive defloration of each innocent.
