ARTICLES RELATED TO Virgin

Virgin: Encyclopedia - Virgin

In its most general sense, virginity is characterized by a state of unimpacted purity, usually stemming from a lack of experience (for example, newcomers to game Bingo could be referred to as virgins). Traditionally, virgin is used to describe a person who has not engaged in sexual intercourse. This use is traditionally restricted to a person who has not yet engaged in vaginal intercourse, but it is sometimes used to describe someone who has not engaged in sexual activities in general. Also, someone can be referred to as ...

Virgin: New Age Spirituality Dictionary on Virginity

Virginity

The quality or state of never having had sexual intercourse. Sex intercourse is the insertion of a penis into a vagina. (See Hymen) By this strict definition, a virgin can engage in oral sex, can have anal sex, can masturbate self and others. If we say that only the penis in the vagina removes virginity, than all but one form of sexual activity are permitted to a virgin. Most religions take issue with this and claim that virginity is both a physical and a moral state.

Biblical Usage

(1) Bethulah seems to have been the biblical term for "virgin," in the Old Testament, and was translated, "a damsel, a virgin," etc. The King James Version and the English Revised Version frequently render bethulah by "maiden" or "maid" but the American Standard Revised Version has used "virgin" throughout, despite the awkwardness of such a phrase as "young men and virgins"

(2) 'almah, rendered in the Revised Version by either "damsel", "maiden", or "virgin" with margin "maiden" The word means simply "young woman" and only the context can give it the force "virgin."

(3) parthenos, the usual Greek New Testament word for "virgin" . In Revelation 14: 4 the word is masculine.

(4) neanis, "young woman" .

(5) Latin virgo The Old Testament lays extreme emphasis on chastity before marriage. The basis for this was so that the husband could be assured that all his bride's children were truly of his seed. Almost all the sexual prohibitions in the Bible seem to be aimed at assuring the man that all his partners children were his, also.

Virgin: Encyclopedia II - Virgin - Physiology

Among human females, the hymen is a membrane, part of the vulva, which partially occludes the entrance to the vagina and which is often physically torn when the woman first engages in vaginal sexual intercourse. The presence of an intact membrane is therefore often seen as physical evidence of virginity in the broader technical sense. The absence of one, however, is not necessarily an indication of participation in sexual intercourse, since in some women the hymen is either absent from birth, or sufficiently vestigial not to be affected by s ...
