I don't think she ever gave a reason. I think he just got fed up with all her mixed signals and dumped her. I really think this story is kind of ridiculous. Why is she so afraid of him knowing she's a virgin? WHO CARES?! Jennifer didn't act like it was a big, bad thing during her virginal years. She wanted it to be special her first time and I don't particularly remember her being that embarrassed about it either....although my memory is kind of fuzzy with her before Jack came along. Abby acts like it is some sort of defect. I wish the story was more about her actually falling in love with someone she has real chemistry with, as opposed to who she loses her virginity to. Stupid. Re: the bolded...while I agree that being a virgin isn't, in the grand scheme of things, a big deal, I think that you have to take into account the fact that Jennifer grew up in a very different time than Abby did. For many of the people of Abby's generation, having sex isn't a big deal, and virginity is something that you lose during high school. Sex tapes and sexting are commonplace. In general, sex and the exploration of sexuality are treated more casually than they would have been during Jennifer's young adult years. It makes perfect sense to me that Abby would feel like being a virgin is embarrassing. Many young adults feel that way when they are still virgins, especially at Abby's age. She's in college -- not high school -- and she's the only person in her peer group on the show who has not yet had sex. There's a difference between being okay with being a virgin (which she claims that she is, but I'm sure that there's probably a part of her that wishes that she could just get it over with) and being confident that everyone else (specifically the men whom you are interested in, one of whom is definitely sexually experienced and the other of whom we can reasonably assume is sexually experienced) will be okay with that fact, and that's where her insecurity comes into play. There's also a point where, as a virgin, the actual act of having sex for the first time has been built up to a level where it has been turned into an even more nerve-racking event than it would otherwise be, and Abby seems to have reached that point, which, IMO, is why she was unable to have sex with Cameron last year, despite the fact that she wanted to have sex with him as a way to escape her grief over her father's death.
