virgin
A person who has never had sexual intercourse. From the Latin virgo , a maiden, so should, strictly, apply only to a female. The claimed physical sign of virginity, an intact HYMEN, cannot always be relied upon because the part is subject to wide anatomical variations and to trauma. Both the term, and the importance placed on an intact hymen, are residua of a male-dominated past.Collins Dictionary of Medicine © Robert M. Youngson 2004, 2005
