How to say "virgin" in Japanese

  nounA virgin as a person, usually a woman or girl; it can also mean a maiden. This is the word you normally want when talking about a person who has had no sexual experience.
• バージンCommon
  nounThe English loanword; it covers both a person who is a virgin and virginity itself, and can refer to a man as well as a woman. The tone is casual and conversational.
• 初物はつものCommon
  nounLiterally the first of the season — the first fruit, vegetable, or catch. Its 'virgin' sense is a figurative, euphemistic extension, so for a person 処女 or バージン is the word you want.

Choose 処女 for a person, usually female; 「バージン」 is the casual loanword for a person or for virginity itself; 初物 really means the first of the season and only figuratively suggests a virgin.
