Lifelong virginity can be a special calling from God. However, it is intended to be the "natural state" of all the unmarried. EVERYONE is called to be chaste. EVERYONE.
Attitudes encouraged in the 1960s and advances in artificial contraception changed some people's views on this.
But what is "natural" is not defined by the tremendous "enlightenment" of the past fifty years.
Don't let the common culture degrade your dignity.
desired state from a Christianity perspective? yes ...that is what God wants. But man is in a fallen state. So I would state it a bit differently. Our natural state on this earth is sin. Let’s get real here ... Only through the power of God can a single adult designed by God to want and have sex live a chase life which is not natural but supernatural.
