Do you share similar religious beliefs? I had a friend who was a 35 year old virgin and despite being beautiful and smart, couldn't keep a boyfriend because she was saving herself. I later met a guy who wasn't a virgin, but decided to abstain until after marriage. I connected the two of them and they've now been married 5 years and have a 3 year old son.
And they've probably had sex twice (marriage night, and conceiving their child). I guess if it floats your boat.

Is he also a Trump supporter, against same-sex marriage as well as a woman’s right to choose?!
If so, then he would be a no go.

- there's no way to determine if you are truly a good fit until after you sleep together and have that level of physical intimacy. Before that, you're only playing the roles of good friends. It's important to figure out if you have good sexual chemistry, but it's also important to get to know this person during overnight stays, and not just three hour date segments.
- He's early thirties and has no sexual experience. Maybe when i was young i would have fussed around with a 21 year old who didn't know how to satisfy my needs, but not at this age.
- If he's early 30s and never had sex, this -could- be explained simply by his religious beliefs. But statistically, it's far more likely related to his either having extremely low sex drive or being gay or having some kind of sexual issues. Run. Don't walk.
- He's extremely religious and you're not. It's highly unlikely you'll end up together long term.

Give up the butt.

I’m happy to keep dating - he’s the first guy I’ve really liked in a long time - but this isn’t a situation I’ve found myself in with a potentially serious boyfriend before.

Date him and see how it goes. Honestly, I think you’ll be far better off with him than many of the porn-obsessed guys that are in the dating pool now.
