The term virgin is normally used for someone who has never had intercourse.
In the sexual field you can have done anything, but as long as the penis stays out of the vagina you’re considered to be a virgin. So being a virgin doesn’t imply that you’re inexperienced, but only that you have never done ‘it.’ So in fact it doesn’t have much meaning.
There are many ‘first times’, like the first time you kissed, the first time your genitals were touched in a sexual way or the first time you had oral sex. These ‘firsts’ might be as important or even more important to you than your first fuck. But in our society intercourse is still seen as the main sex act. That’s why we only have a quick word for someone who has had intercourse for the first time.

I’ve masturbated by thrusting my fingers in and out. Am I still a virgin or have I deflowered myself?
Do lesbians remain virgins, even when they have had sex?
