Hmmm?! Got a cite?
Or care to share your line of reasoning?

It's fairly heavily implied in Proven Guilty that Slate used to rape Lily before she became the Summer Lady. Also, Mab seemed to have no problem with Harry sleeping with Sarissa, and Sarissa was her choice for replacement Winter Lady. Of course, Mab could have been betting that Harry wouldn't, but given the situation, I don't think Mab would have risked it.

The mantle would probably make her a virgin. It is magic. Some people try an operation but this works far better.

Possible, but being Lady may merely require celibacy, so sex is okay prior to becoming Lady, but a big no, no, once you do. Kind of like nuns and priests take a vow of celibacy, but are not required to be virgins to become nuns or priests.

It is the nature of the mantle and it imposes that nature upon the bearer of the mantle. It is not what the bearer was, it is what it becomes.
