The word is not gender specific just like good / bad / ugly / them / us etc. English never evolved to that level. In Indian languages however the word has masculine as well as feminine versions a.k.a. Kunwara / Kunwari or Kumar / Kumari or Brahmachari / Brahmacharini.
On another note, the word was NOT considered to ever be applicable to Males in those parts of world at the time of its first usage some four five hundred years back. (And then they talk about low status of female members of 'Indian Society'.)

Virgin is a common name for both male and female. Any person, whether male or female, who is not initiated to sex, is a virgin. It does not refer to a marital status. It is the status of one sexual inexperience. A person may be married and yet be a virgin, if never ever been initiated into it. A person would never have been married and yet he need not necessarily be a virgin, for obvious reasons.

the term virgin was used just for women, way back when, like in the 1600s and 1700s i think. But, now it is used for both sexes. It is kinda a dialect/slang thing.
