Hey, wait a minute! Where do all those virgins come from???
Also, once you've "had" your 7 or 70 or howevermany virgins it is, they are technically not virgins anymore. Are you then entitled for another batch of 7 or 70 or whatever virgins? And what happens to those women who are no longer virgins? Do they get dumped from heaven??
Another question: It seems that men get to have virgins in heaven, but what about women? Do they also get the virgins, just male ones? Do they want them? Or they don't get anything? Or they just get to be the virgins that get randomly distributed among men? What if they don't want to be? Or they simply don't go to heaven????
This whole heaven deal seems like something that is too male centric.

In Islam, a man can marry up to four wives ONLY if he can treat them all EQUALLY and if he has the consent of the wife(ves). This practice is usually to help women during times of poverty and war, when they might lose their husbands, and has nothing to do with pleasure or desire.
No, you can't have your virgins now. You can only have them in Heaven if you lived a pure life according to the way of Islam. Also, Islam teaches that Heaven will be a place beyond what we are capable of imagining, and there will be something for everyone. There will be no worry, malice, or hatred. So if you are a good Muslim, maybe you can have your virgins, but definitely not in this world.

That is if he is willing to let you; in Islam you have no way of knowing whether you are going to heaven or not, even if you die for your faith. This however is contrasted to Christianity which gives hope of eternal life in heaven as a guarantee through the finished work of Jesus on behalf of our sins. Read Romans 8:28-39. Eternal security is based on God's faithfulness and not our performance.

The number is actually 70, and that's only if you live a life strictly according to the Koran. No mistakes. I'm not a Muslim, though. I'm just quoting. Personally, I don't think that Heaven is a place for "relationships," which is were that supposedly takes place. No, Heaven is sacred and reserved for ministering to God. So, I don't believe that.

I think you read that wrong, after you die you will have 7 vaginas. This is because, like anyone who believes in Allah, you went hell and are going to be eternally screw ed 7 ways from sunday.

I heard it was 100. Only 70 of those are female...
We are told in the Bible that in Heaven, man nor woman will be married and will be like the angels. Sex is for procreation. What need is there for it in the afterlife?

Why would you want so many virgins? To play monopoly together? Hide-and-seek? Darts? Dominoes? 7 women in a household are too much, believe me.

Well, there is a way. But that will be called child molestation. There is no way to get 7 virgin prostitutes!
