intact

intact
   still a virgin
   Literally, untouched or unimpaired. This specific use may come from the legal jargon for a female virgin, virgo intacta:
    'He undressed you and looked at you in a mirror. But he didn't enjoy himself with you. He didn't touch you or lie on top of you, did he?' "The girl is intact,' he said. (Golden, 1997)
