Despite the disclaimer by some Muslims, the truth is very clear. The 72 Virgins notion has its origins in the Qur'an. Although the holy book does not specify the number as 72, it does say that those who fight in the way of Allah and are killed will be given a great reward. It goes on to stipulate that Muslims will be awarded with women in Islamic heaven. It even describes their physical attributes—large eyes (Q 56:22) and big, firm, round "swelling breasts" that are not inclined to sagging (Q 78:33). The Qur'an refers to these virgins as houri, companions of equal age, but the highly-flavored emphasis of their bodily characteristics, including their virginity, gave rise to many hadiths and other Islamic writings.
Hadith 2687 is where the number 72 is mentioned. "The smallest reward for the people of Heaven is an abode where there are eighty thousand servants and 72 houri, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine and ruby, as wide as the distance from al-Jabiyyah to San'a."
Qur'anic commentator Al-Suyuti (died 1505) and Orthodox Muslim theologians such as al Ghazali (died 1111 CE) and Al-Ash'ari (died 935 CE) graphically elaborated sensual pleasures attributed to Muslims in paradise". Al-Suyuti wrote, "Each time we sleep with a Houri we find her virgin. Besides, the penis of the Elected never softens. The erection is eternal; the sensation that you feel each time you make love is utterly delicious and out of this world and were you to experience it in this world you would faint. Each chosen one [i.e. Muslim] will marry seventy houris, besides the women he married on earth, and all will have appetizing vaginas."
LOL - an eternal erection.

I didn't see that coming.
That is a damn good video to watch in its entirety. A little oversimplified at times but seems to be genuinely accurate.
Yeah, that was pretty good (in it's entirety).If you want the actual origin, it comes from a poorly cited hadith not the Quran (supplementary texts of Islam) most Muslims do not treat it as scripture.
Watch this video starting at 5:00:
Well, it ancient times virgins were valued because that meant there would be no risk of nasty things like STDs, and te like.
Because there was nothing like penicillin, at least to the best of my knowledge, so those things were pretty nasty.

I have a feeling these martyrs are going to get there and find a virgin shortage. With supply and demand, its probably like trying to find .22 ammo at Walmart.
