Foremost, It is importance to remember that God considered Lot a righteous man.
(2 Peter 2: 4 -9).
It was, without a doubt, incredibly difficult for someone like Lot to be obedient to God in a city wholly given over to pursuing its lusts.

Secondly, the toxicity of Sodom and Gomorrah isn't a reason for us to think that Lot's daughters are not pure virgins. Environmental influence isn't an excuse to either embrace or shun immorality.
If you're loosed, you can travel several kilometres just to satisfy your lust.

Before the incestuous events, they had to run from Sodom in order to save themselves and then saw the aftermath of Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed. Then, not only is the wife of Lot turned into a pillar of salt, they must flee yet again and end up living in a cave.
Would any of us not feel a bit distressed, confused, and afraid of what might happen next if we saw and experienced what they did?
The Bible states that the daughters justified having sex with Lot because they believed all men were dead (Genesis 19:31)! This, however, shows they acted impulsively.
On the surface, the desire of the daughters of Lot to continue the human race after Sodom and Gomorrah is certainly noble. Their behavior, however, was based far more on their skewed thinking brought on by fear and panic.
