Virginity is the state of not having had sexual intercourse ever. It is something some people show of with pride whiles others feel ashamed of being a virgin. In popular culture, being a virgin is seen as 'pure', however being a virgin/non-virgin has no biological effect. A lesser known fact, virgin did not originally mean a woman whose vagina was untouched by a penis, but a woman who was sexually liberated from a man. It meant a female who was sexually and socially her own person. In the ancient sense, maiden, means a woman whose vagina is untouched by penis. Source: Professor What-if?
