There's also a confusion of virginity and experience that anything short of listening to the woman in question won't clear up. Technical virgins, et al. really screw the line as far sexuality and yes/no sex are concerned.
Of course standards of female virginity are unprovable. The vagina is a scary void from which nothing escapes. The only way to know what's been in it (or not) is to guard it from being penetrated in the first place. Only if you, the man not possessing the vagina, know it's clean is it clean. It's a paranoia that feeds itself--the reward is the process (watching to keep it virgin is the only way to keep it virgin).
