"Duh," Sam reflected amused as he confidently signed his name to one of the pledges Bonnie had passed to them. This had to be one of their oddest aliases yet. "New Born Virgins", no less!
He couldn't think of two people who would be less indicated as candidates for such an oath, given their past experiences; but hey, they had posed as priests too, so virgins was about the same, only minus the black suits!
He cast a quick glance at Dean who like himself had unreservedly signed up for a promise that would be broken as soon as his brother got some hot chick in his sights.
Sam struggled to keep a straight face, conscious of Bonnie watching them.
He had nothing against virgins nor even born-again ones, it was just that the word did not comfortably apply to himself and Dean, and when his douche of a brother looked over at him with the gleeful expression of one who had just signed up for a porn heaven instead of the contrary, Sam didn't know how he'd managed to hold in the laugh that his quivering lips were about to burst out with.

It got even worse at the first meeting of the little group. The chair-lady was a beautiful blonde who introduced herself as Suzy, and when she asked Sam why he had decided to take the pledge he had answered honestly enough, for there was no denying his relationships with women had been as wretched as fate could have devised.
Sam congratulated himself on getting off lightly but he wasn't ready for the show his brother was preparing to put on.
He could only think that Dean had somehow lost sight of what was expected from a newly reborn virgin, throwing himself into a full-blown exaltation of the wonders of sex.
Sam looked around uncomfortably at the other members of the little group; Dean was taking things too far! Sam focused a disapproving gaze on his brother willing him to stop, and as often happened via their brotherly communication, Dean responded to the silent "Shut the crap up, Dean" that was conveyed in Sam's censorious eyes.
Of course it didn't finish there, and this time he couldn't hold back the bitch-face as Dean smirkingly informed him that he was walking Suzy home, to pick up some 'motivational books' to keep him strong on his quest for purity.
Sam knew his brother was game for anything when it came to rooting out information for a hunt, but he also knew Dean had his own personal code as far as women were concerned.
His big brother had been blessed with more than attractive looks plus unfortunately, a crushing vanity to go with them! Sam had been witness to Dean's boasting many a time; but Sam also knew that Dean only took what was offered.
If Suzy gave, then Dean would accept, otherwise she was as safe as she would have been with a eunuch.

Maybe the pledge they had taken wasn't so outlandish after all, Sam ammended as he made his way over to one of the girls, 'cos recently, sex had been way, way at the bottom of their list.
He hadn't been with anyone since Amelia, and Dean as far as he knew since before Purgatory so, yeah, they weren't really lying .They had both been 'virgins' for a good stretch now!
Sam wasn't as obvious as Dean in sexual matters, he kept a lower profile but he loved women too, and missed the feelings that came with frequenting them, but his past experiences had hammered into him that he could never have that; never have what he had found with Jessica; and just in case he hadn't learned the lesson yet, he'd had another reminder when Sarah had been killed.
He and Dean had saved her so long ago, just to see her die before their eyes without being able to lift a finger to help her.
So yeah, maybe this pledge wouldn't be so difficult to keep to after all. At least for him.
