Given the types of forum sections there are, this seemed the most appropriate for this topic.
I got into an argument with my girlfriend today about something and I'd like to know what you guys think. If two lesbian virgins have sex with each other, can they still be considered virgins afterwards?
Remember, your perspective isn't worth a damn thing unless you back it up with sufficient reasoning. It should make for an interesting debate topic considering the concept behind virginity was adopted before homosexuality.

Yes they are, the dictionary meaning of virgin is being penetrated by a male organ, while that term has generally extended to also cover the male part of that act, it still doesn't really apply to lesbians.

If you follow the American Heritage definition of virginity, it seems any sexual union where you make contact with each other's genitals counts as losing your virginity.

I think they would technically lose their virginity. Wikipedia says the definition is "A virgin (or maiden) originally meant a woman who has never had sexual intercourse." They are participating in sexual intercourse so I think they would no longer be virgins.
Although, they aren't having normal sex so it is debatable, which is why I like this thread lol.
True, although some would have trouble agreeing on a single correct definition for
sexual intercourse.

The definition may additionally include penetrative sexual acts between same-sex pairings, such as penetration of non-sexual organs (oral intercourse, anal intercourse) or by non-sexual organs (fingering, tonguing), which are also commonly practiced by heterosexual couples."
Having said that, sexually active gay men can thereon also be exempted from being virgins.

Well to me virginity is different for guys and girls.
Guys: I think males lose there virginity when they have an orgasm in or on the body of a woman/en after having sexual inter course. I think this for the fact being men have no way of telling so its just a matter of preference/ choice.
Females: I think women lose there virginity one there hymen is broken through sexual inter course only. I think this because women have a hymen to protect there vagina when little, so after this is broken it shows that they are old. Also notice i say only sexual intercourse because some young girls break it in sports.

This is a weird debate because there are facts that make it no longer a debate lol.
Of course people are still entitled to their own opinions.

That's a reasonable opinion.
