We're Janet and Chrissie Virgins?

Jack seemed to be one. I can't imagine anyone laying Larry or Lana or Barney.

The Ropers were not virgins, but Mrs Roper looks like she'd have been sterile from an STI.

No virgins in the 70s, bitch.

I wouldn't say that.

Nice to meet you, Janet and Chrissie, virgins.

Larry was packing major sizemeat.

R3) I consulted with The Chicago Manual of Style. While no longer in common usage, a special subsection of the interrogative allowed for the question mark to be utilized in the era known as the seventies when Quaaludes may have been present. This also explains the lyrics of Blinded by the Light. The status of their virginity will never be ascertained, whether or not Maury is called in.

Chrissy was innocent and naive in her manner (probably because she was a minister's daughter), but we were clearly meant to think she'd been around the block a few times. I very well remember this interchange she had with Janet after a guy got "fresh" with Janet on a first date:

JANET: (fuming) "Men! When will they realize that when a girl says 'no,' she means 'no'!"

CHRISSY: (giggling, turned-on) "... Except when she means 'yes'!"

It definitely seemed like the show wanted the audience to believe they were virgins, or at least could be. They shared a bedroom and there was never talk of them sleeping somewhere else. There were at least a couple episodes where Jack and Janet freaked out because Chrissy or Cindy weren't home after midnight. What's weird is that this show aired the same time as Laverne and Shirley, which was set in the 50s but it was made clear at least Laverne wasn't a virgin. I remember an episode where she had a pregnancy scare. If Laverne could whore it up in Milwaukee in the 50s, why could Janet get some in sunny California in the 70s?

R3 beat me to it!

They were both saving themselves for when Jack got his cooking career going and could marry them both. They were the first Sister-Wives.
