Sexual Virginity means NOT having sex with another person. It doesn't cover self-applied sexual pleasuring. Technically oral sex isn't counted either. The only form or sex that makes a person lose their virginity is when part A is inserted into their partner's part B with vigorous thrusts.
The real test of virginity is only in the female though. In young women the birth canal is blocked by the hymen. It helps prevent some problems in younger women. When a woman has heterosexual sex for the first time the hymen is punctured. It bleeds a little and causes some pain for the woman. Only when the hymen is punctured does a woman lose her virginity. It doesn’t cover all cases of virginity though. See the Wikipedia definition for more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin
Since plastic surgeons can replace the hymen and homosexual experiences do happen. The definition of virginity has been expanded to cover all forms of sex.
With this expansion or improvement of the definition males can also be virgins. Hence the movie “The 40 year old Virgin;” with the virgin being a male. In physical and sexual terms only the woman can be a virgin (maiden), but the larger definition is the accepted one.

A virgin is someone, male or female, who has not had intercourse.
It's just that males do not have _any_ sort of "physical" evidence.
Women have a hymen---a maidenhead---but the absence of this is NOT proof positive of virginity. The obstetrician who delivered about 75% of my grade school class of girls (in the "you're growing up now" talk) said he'd seen torn/perforated hymens in newborns, and would SWEAR in court that the gals hadn't been doing *anything* inappropriate.
Some hymens are extremely minimal, others stretch without tearing and bleeding during first intercourse, so lack of pain or blood loss is not a proof.

Yes! There is a small skin formed across the glans called the Lomen (Hymen for females) that is broken during first sexual experience. Masturbation doesn't count! Usually the male doesn't even know it's there until he reads about it on Yahoo Answers!

Virginity is a fancy word meaning "Not having sex". Yes it applies to both males and females.
