'''Virginity''' as a term is an expression of [[purity]]. It implies pure, unadulterated, chaste. A virgin is a person of either [[gender]] who has not had sex.
<blockquote>
''Some girls stay secretive about their [[Christianity]] and desire for virginity until marriage. Don’t be ashamed to let others know where you stand. Ask your youth pastor about signing a document proclaiming your purity commitment. Then tell others about it. Consider wearing a purity symbol such as a ring or special necklace — especially on dates. These have no special power, but they can remind you of your plan to remain sexually pure.'' [http://www.briomag.com/briomagazine/briobeyond/a0004486.html What's Your Plan for Sexual Purity?] by Elaine Creasman.
</blockquote>
Virginity is respected and valued in many societies, especially female virginity, which is often interwoven with personal or family honor and patriarchy in some cultures. Some men place importance on a woman's virginity, especially in a prospective wife.
