Heh, yeah, I'm currently in the throes of attempting to write a fic about Steve's feelings on the modern concept of "coming out", so I re-watched recently paying special attention to Steve+Sex, and there's more canon than I'd remembered. Even in the 40s parts of the movies, though, Steve wanting to wait is considered odd and the implication is that everybody else is hooking up left and right, so I dunno where the fanon that Steve has never heard of sex before is coming from (except possibly people who haven't seen his movie...) I would totally buy Tony et. al. wrongly thinking that Steve's the way he is because he grew up before sex was invented, though.
On the other hand he wears a screen-printed T-shirt in the movie, so it's not like it was scrupulous about anachronism either.
