Real Virgins Guaranteed

A virgin is someone who has not yet engaged in sexual intercourse.

Virginity is a term used to describe what a person has when he or she has not yet engaged in sexual intercourse. A person who still has his or her virginity can accordingly be described as being a virgin. In other contexts, virginity can apply to someone who has not engaged in sexual activities in general.

With the standard usage of these terms (where the state of purity is thought to come from a lack of sexual intercourse), they have been more commonly applied to women than to men, both historically and in many present-day situations. In fact, the terms traditionally were used to simply describe a female unmarried person or a young girl (lat. “virgo, virginis”, as opposed to “vir” meaning “man” or “husband”). However, applying them to men as well has become common in modern times, as the word “maid” lost currency in reference to men. During the Middle English period, the word “maid” referred to a person, whether male or female, who had never been married or sexually active.
