Shortest distance between two points logic: A virgin isn't going to need to check and see if he has condoms. He's either not going to have them or he will have bought them that afternoon. If he's not sure he has 'em, they were from a previous relationship. I suppose it is possible that he might have bought them over the duration of his previous relationship with the hope they'd get used, but, again, if that were the case he'd remember. Someone who has not yet had sex is going to be hyper-aware of a package of birth control in their living space.
Of course, even if he is a virgin, he could have condoms for use with sex toys. I still think, in that case, he'd not need to check.

That's the only way a male virgin in his twenties would turn down what she was proposing.

Wow way to generalize there.
Uh I don't know how to counter such an ignorant remark really... I have quite a few male friends who chose to abstain until later in life. None of them are "freaks" and none of them are gay.

Yeah, but there is a difference between choosing to abstain and wanting to get laid, and not being able to. (which is the group with most people, i want to think)
And the guys in the latter group tend to be more desperate about sex, so i don't think it really is an ignorant remark...

But he's not choosing to abstain.
He was actively courting a lady he knows has been recently sexually active, and at the point where Marigold makes her move, not very successfully.
I'm not saying that it's impossible that Angus is a virgin, or that people who choose abstinence are flawed or defective.
I'm just saying that there's no explicit indication that he is.
Occum's razor (And I can't believe I'm whipping that out over this) states that the most parsimonious explanation for a phenomenon should be preferred. Now which is more parsimonious: That a Mid-to-late twenty something heterosexual male without a stated religious or cultural reservation who turned down drunken shenanigans from an available and willing close female friend is nervous because he's a virgin, or that he's simply nervous because it's the first time with Faye, who he's flirted with for a really long time and he really likes, but after what happened with Sven and Marten and her father and do I even still have those condoms and please God don't let me fuck this up?

Just what I was thinking. Even if he WAS checking for the infernal rubber things, he should have come up with an alternative explanation. "Just making sure the room was decent!"

Mid-to-late 20s =/= super hormone driven teenager, apparently.
