Maid

Virgin

Jungfrau

Virgo means a person who has not yet had sexual intercourse. However, like maid, it is originally the name of a young and hitherto unmarried woman par excellence, first by the nobility, then by the bourgeoisie. Therefore, "maid" is derived as a salutation for female house staff. Literally, the term "virgin" includes only female persons who have not yet had sexual intercourse. A male counterpart to the "virgin" is the young man, but men are rarely described today in favor of the word "virgin". With the sexual revolution broke the equilibrium of wedding night and loss of virginity. Jungfrau bezeichnet einen Menschen, der noch keinen Geschlechtsverkehr hatte. Ähnlich wie Maid ist es jedoch ursprünglich die Bezeichnung einer jungen und bisher unverheirateten Frau schlechthin, zunächst von Adel, dann auch im Bürgertum. Daher abgeleitet ist „Jungfer“ als Anrede für weibliches Hauspersonal. Wörtlich schließt der Begriff „Jungfrau“ nur weibliche Personen ein, die bislang noch keinen Geschlechtsverkehr hatten. Männlicher Gegenbegriff zur „Jungfrau“ ist der Jüngling, womit Männer heute aber zugunsten des Wortes „Jungfrau“ nur noch selten bezeichnet werden. Mit der sexuellen Revolution zerbrach die Gleichsetzung von Hochzeitsnacht und Verlust der Jungfräulichkeit.
