People, especially women have all kinds of reasons for preserving their "virginity". Emotional, religious, psychological and cultural factors play a major role. And for many women that passage from virginity to non-virginity is really significant! These passages are worthy of the repect each women chooses for herself and her own body. Often these events of "first time" are moments the women will remember and often cherish for the rest of her life.

Changing back to the orginal question, anal seems a lot more heavy duty to me as compared with vaginal sex. I wouldn't recommend a guy to persuade a virgin to do anal as a pre-cursor to vaginal sex. First time experiences often set the tone for years to come, and a bad or uncomfortable experience can really be hurtful.
