• 処女性しょじょせい
  nounDenotes the virginity of a female as a quality or state, and also covers 'maidenhood'. The female counterpart of 童貞; less common than バージン, it is the word when female virginity specifically is meant.

「バージン」 is the most common of the four and covers both a virgin and virginity regardless of sex; 童貞 and 処女性 specify male and female virginity respectively, while 「バージニティー」 is a less common borrowing for the state itself.
