Define virgin: Some would link virginity to the simple feature of an intact hymen.This is problamatic. The structure may not form in a typical way or may have long since receded due to non- sexual events.It may also be intact in someone with many sexual encounters that did not involve vaginal penetration.A doc may also assume sexual activity simply because of age. The best way to know is to ask.
