Virgin historically signified a young woman characterized by absence of sexual experience (see Etymology). Currently, virgin need not refer to age or biological sex. Hence, more mature women and men can be virgins (The Virgin Queen). Potential initiates into many fields can be colloquially termed virgins.The word is emotive, for some, because it distinguishes between unmarried women who have had no sexual partners, and those who have (see Feminist criticism). The idea that a virgin has an emotional "blank slate", without complications for her potential intimate emotional life with men,[1] leads to the abstraction of unadulterated purity, which can be applied even to non-human referents. Unalloyed metal is sometimes described as virgin. Some cocktails can be described as virgin, when lacking the alcoholic admixture. Similarly, olive oil may be called virgin or extra-virgin, if it comes from the first pressing and contains no refined oil.The last instance also incorporates an additional association of virginity — the notability of its loss. More properly, the association is with the significance of the addition of a new status, rather than a loss. Hence this association is typically found in references to the first instance of a potentially extended series of like events. Just as virgin olive oil is from the first pressing, so a maiden or virgin speech is an incumbent's first address.</blockquote>
