  Comments:
Added xref.
Changed to "(male) virgin" to remove ambiguity.

I understand the implication of the first gloss, but without (male), I still wonder "can this be applied to both genders in some contexts?),  (especially since, unlike 処女 there isn't a "male" kanji involved).

Add xref to 処女. Comments/data on 童貞喪失, terms are male/female equivalents.
