Photo of the week: Virgin Katrina
Martin Fuchs
USA. New York. Virgins. Katrina, 25 years old. My initial reason for not wanting to have sex was totally a fear of not wanting to get pregnant before I got married. This was a cycle in my family. So, it was very real to me: You have sex, you get pregnant, and if you're not married, you can wind up alone or feeling obligated to marry somebody. But it's been interesting how it's changed as I've gone through different relationships, learning about myself and learning about commitment. © Lise Sarfati/Magnum Photos
