I'm willing to bet that someone with no sexual history can do a good enough job of raising a baby and a child
Indeed, in the past this was the norm in many societies. Most women's very first sexual experience was with their husband and they often became pregnant after very little sexual activity. Aside from the comment made by that anonymous psychologist, I am not aware of anyone saying that women require sexual experience to raise children. The two concepts seem entirely unrelated.
Experience with other children (children of other people in the family, or even stranger's children) seems to be a far more relevant area of experience and, if anything, this is the area in which many women today lag behind their predecessors.

Not to mention - my impression is that upper-class families would often hire nannies and governesses to do much of their child-rearing, and that these were considered respectable positions for unmarried women.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
