Virgin
A virgin is most commonly seen as a person who has not engaged in sexual intercourse. Typically, it refers strictly to a person who has not yet engaged in vaginal intercourse. In broader terms, it sometimes refers to one who has not engaged in sexual activities. The status of "virginity" is sometimes respected and valued in certain societies, especially in relation to views of many religions on sexual conduct before marriage. The term maiden is also sometimes used to mean a female virgin, although that can also refer to an unmarried or merely young woman. It has also (generally historically) been used to refer to a male virgin.
Among homosexuals
Likewise, there is no single definition of loss of virginity for those who do not engage in penile-vaginal intercourse, particularly gay men and lesbians. Some people choose to think of their first emotionally significant sex act as being the loss of their virginity, or their first penetrative sex act, or some other definition varying from person to person.
