So you've got your hands on a spiffy, brand-new bunch of Applied Phlebotinum. It will do anything. Launch psychic fireballs, generate matter out of nothing, lay waste to entire towns, fulfill your fondest desires, and let your cat out every evening before bedtime. There's only one catch: the person using it has to be that rarest of all rarities in a normal, functioning, sex-obsessed adult society. A virgin. ...and by virgin, we mean a female virgin. ...and by female virgin, we generally mean a sweet, young (but adult), beautiful, innocent, passive, wholesome virgin. The Action Girl is treated as something of a subversion, as is an actual prepubescent child, a not-so-conventionally-attractive young woman, and the sour-tempered and ancient Old Maid is always played as if it were a subversion. Just why would someone need to be a virgin to have access to a special power? Most likely because being a virgin is a generally recognized sign of moral purity. When played completely straight, this trope associates (female) virginity with moral purity and implies a Madonna-Whore Complex; because of this, more modern invocations of this trope specify that it is merely a magical rule or the preference of a particular divinity rather than a value judgment. Sometimes this ideal of purity can be subverted by having the virgin user of the Applied Phlebotinum be morally reprehensible in every other aspect of her life, or even be a villainess instead of a heroine. One of most common forms of Virgin Power is that unicorns will only approach virgins (or, at the very least, will not flee from them). If the user of the Virgin Power is the hero's girlfriend, you can expect this situation to create a lot of dramatic tension between the lovers, as they fight the temptation to do the one thing which will render her powers useless. Also, you can expect the villains to try to "relieve" the user of her virginity via rape (even when just killing her from a distance would be the safer and faster option, unless the power in question doesn't allow for this). It may be part of the virgin's powers to overcome The Power of Lust, never giving in to the temptation to have sex. Eunuchs Are Evil can be a villainous version, if such a character has special powers that come with the position, although most eunuchs are not celibate by choice (and in some cases, sex may still be possible after castration). Contrast Deus Sex Machina and Sexually Transmitted Superpowers. Beware Virgin Sacrifice. Tends to cause Virgin Tension. A Sub-Trope of Conditional Powers. Virgin Vision is not related to this trope, regardless of how it sounds. The inverse is Sex Magic, which is magic powered by having sex. |

In Angel: Cordelia discovers that her demonic powers can be transferred sexually (at least to one other person). In a subversion, this requires not that she maintain her chastity indefinitely, but just until she acquires a supernatural prophylactic. It's very much indicated that the reason supernatural prophylactics exist is precisely that there are plenty of powers in the Angelverse that come under this trope and therefore the means to circumvent this trope was, quite naturally, invented as a response. There are also demons who care about this, as became important when a man intended to sacrifice his virgin daughter to one. He hired Angel to guard her because he'd heard of his status as a Chaste Hero. As it turned out, Angel was missing and Wesley impersonated him, and...yeah. The inevitable occurred. Although this didn't even matter — he wasn't that good at isolating her previously. |

Moyashimon: Discussed when it's mentioned that, for all they know, Sawaki can lose his life-long ability to see microbes if he loses his virginity. After Sawaki is kissed by Kei, he temporarily loses his ability. This is actually subverted. The kiss has nothing to do with the issue. Kei just occasionally stops being able to see microbes for some unknown reason. | |

My-Otome: The Nanomachines that power the Otomes become worthless if they have sex through some convoluted biochemical reaction.noteA specific explanation in-series links this to Prostate-Specific Antigen, which destroys the Otome nanomachines on contact. This is a major research flub, since it is also found in female bodies. It isn't explained if this means that the nanomachines are able to resist low levels of PSA, or require special agents that have been genetically modified to produce better conditions for bioenhancement. While this is moot for some characters who choose their powers over relationships or some who do otherwise (Akane and Kazuya seem adamant about getting together, although they comically never succeed) it's a bit of Fridge Logic why they couldn't just use protection (if the condom breaks... Yikes!). Interestingly, it's only heterosexual sex that depowers Otomes (probably for the same reason males cannot become Otomes, even if they're virgins). So in other words, lesbian sex would be totally alright. Talk about excuses for Situational Sexuality! | |

For Alpha Flight member Snowbird, losing her virginity had mixed results. She lost her immortality and, for a time, the blessing of her family, but she gained the ability to leave Canada's borders without ill effect and could change into any animal rather than just those native to the North. She herself didn't think much of the benefits for a very long time, but her teammates did, as they previously had to do without her power whenever a mission took them away from Canada. | |

Frostflower and Thorn features a society of sorcerers who believe they can work magic only if they're virgins. This applies to women and men alike. (They tend to adopt a lot.) However, Frostflower the sorceress survives a rape without losing her powers, which suggests that this particular teaching is at least oversimplified. | |

Supernatural: During a hostage situation, it's revealed that the problem could be solved by a virgin sacrifice, and there Just Happens To Be a very religious virgin girl in the police station. However, (a) the Winchester boys decline to kill her (even though she volunteers upon finding out the stakes), (b) during the course of the battle, she decides she'll rid herself of that virginity as soon as they're out of it, and (c) she ends up dying anyway. "Like a Virgin" involves a string of kidnappings of high school girls who had taken purity oaths by a group of dragons (in convenient-to-the-budget human form), with one girl being mauled but left alone when the dragons realized she was only a Technical Virgin in her own eyes. They need a Virgin Sacrifice to summon the Mother of all monsters back into the world and succeed at the end of the episode despite the Winchesters rescuing most of the girls. |

Devil Hunter Yohko features a heroine who must remain a virgin until she gains her powers. (Her mother was unable to fight temptation and thus, could not become a demon hunter.) Interestingly, once Yohko gained her powers, she no longer needed to remain chaste, as her greatgrandchild-wanting grandmother hastily and happily informed her. A later episode makes it waffle on whether or not she has to maintain her virginity after all. After this change, the monsters change from trying to rape her to killing all her boyfriends, to prevent another generation. | |

In Skin Horse, the cast has to get through a system that will only let a princess through. Tip is willing and ready to pass as a princess, but one of the tests to pass is a series of questions called the "Purity test". Which he very much fails, as it needs a "total, inexperienced, never-been-kissed virgin". The one person in the team who fits that, much to his annoyance, is Nick, a former shut-in nerd turned Brain in a Jar, who's currently possessing a female drone body. | |

During the time she's a captive of Suitengu and the Tennozu Group (before and after being rescued by Saiga), she's given chemical substances to delay her growth and postpone her first menstruation, which will result in the loss of her powers (presumably because once puberty happens she'll have sex). | |

Inverted when Lien the Paladin is captured by the tribe of orcs to be sacrificed to their new god... Banjo the Clown. She tells them they cannot sacrifice her because she is not a virgin before the orcs say that that was the point, since they wanted to sacrifice someone with experience. (Whether Banjo, whom Elan randomly made up early in the comic, would or even could have accepted the sacrifice at all is a different matter entirely.) |

Subverted in the movie Kull the Conqueror. The hero's non-virgin love interest needs a god to grant her the power to destroy the Big Bad. She knows gods usually don't hand that kind of power to non-virgins, so she asks the god to give it to her anyway, since her intentions are pure at least. The god generously obliges. It perhaps helped she lost her virginity as a price (yep, the old king was one dirty ol' bastard) for letting her brother free (he was to be executed for heresy), and not by just screwing around. | |

Tales of Phantasia: Like its prequel, a unicorn appears and can only be approached by a pure maiden. Mint can approach it to appeal for its help in boosting her healing powers, but Arche thinks she wouldn't be able to. When questioned, Arche admits to having a boyfriend in the past before changing the subject. | |

In the James Bond film Live and Let Die, Solitaire's fortune-telling ability is linked to her virginity. Bond relieves her of both, which caused some controversy among the audience as he essentially tricks her into it. More important plot-wise, Bond seduces Solitaire to get information, only to find that she can't tell him anything with her powers removed. He then has to spend the rest of the movie trying to protect her from a vengeful Big Bad, who was planning to take her virginity himself. | |

In American Dad!, The Weeknd reveals that he's a virgin and has been channeling the power he gets from celibacy into winning music awards. He hopes one day he'll store enough to make his balls a time machine so he can travel back in time and sleep with dinosaurs. At the end of the episode, he uses all of his power, sacrificing his life force, to heal Francine from the bubonic plague, his soul merging with the volcanic island they were on afterwards like Te Fiti from Moana. | |

In Scissor Seven, there is a technique called the Indestructible Virgin, which has multiple levels and makes the user's body as hard as metal, letting them No-Sell nearly everything thrown at them (except a poke in the belly button, which will cause the user's body to deflate like a balloon, making them vulnerable. This weakness disapears at the highest level however). Although, aside from the name, it's not yet clear how it is tied to virginity. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition: Dungeon magazine #23, adventure "Deception Pass": The soothsayer Lyllidia is a Fortune Teller with a limited ability to see the future. She has taken a vow of chastity in order to avoid losing her powers. Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition: The Vow of Chastity Feat in Book of Exalted Deeds supplement gives a character many benefits for maintaining virginity, including the feat Vow Of Chastity. This Feat is a requirement for two prestige classes offered in the book (one of which involves acquiring a unicorn as your companion, naturally). Downplayed with the spell lantern light from Book of Exalted Deeds, which requires the character to abstain from sex for at least 24 hours before casting it. The Oriental Adventures book has a Prestige Class called the Eunuch Warlock. Being evil is a requirement. |

Fushigi Yuugi had both Miaka and Yui's powers tied to their respective virginities. Of course, the series milked the romantic tension this generated for all that it was worth. Both girls underwent rape-related subplots as well: Yui was not aware her power was based on virginity, which let her believe she had been raped when she was unconscious. Unknown to her, she was rescued before anything happened to her. Unfortunately, her rescuer used her state of trauma to manipulate her for his own purposes. | |

Bastard!! (1988): The only way to transform young and meek Rushe Ren-Ren into his other self, the ultra-powerful (and ultra perverted) Dark Schneider, is to perform the "Accept" spell, where a young virgin kisses him. Usually, this is his best friend Yoko. When it doesn't appear to be working the first time they tried it, Yoko's father asks whether she really is one, and is met with a thrown shoe and an assurance that "This girl's chastity is a hun- eighty percent perfect". It does kick in a few seconds later, so maybe she has a point...(in the 2022 version, it works right off the bat) When a vampire decides to feed on the captured Princess' guardian maidens, he notices by taste that one of them was not a maiden after all. |

Phantom Thief Jeanne: Maron's powers follow this trope right down to the rape assault by a major villain however it subverts it in the end by revealing that Maron can indeed use her powers after being deflowered, because her soul is still "pure". This also comes up when Jeanne travels back in time and meets herself in a previous life as Joan of Arc. She tries to help Joan escape from being burned at the stake but Joan cannot become Jeanne anymore because she'd already been raped. |

Played with heavily in Hocus Pocus. The candle that will bring the witches back to life can be lit only by a virgin. Once everything's been set right in the end, the ghost Thackery and his waiting sister Emily walk towards the afterlife casually conversing about what on earth took him so long. Thackery coyly replies that he had to wait three centuries for a virgin to come along and break the curse. It's especially funny because the virgin who lit the candle WAS A DUDE... who didn't want to be a virgin. The entire film has characters commenting on "this poor guy, still being a virgin". How many 8-year-olds didn't get that joke the first time around? | |

Incarnations of Immortality: Played with in On a Pale Horse when Luna, despite having been the victim of Mind Rape and soul tarnishing by a demon, is still technically a physical virgin, so she is acceptable food for a hungry dragoness. (In this case, it's because of a dragon, centuries before, eating someone that happened to have an STD that crossed over and devastated the dragon population; they became a bit more picky after that.) In For Love of Evil when Parry (a young sorcerer) is about to marry Jolie (a stunning, brilliant woman due to her ability and Parry's training), someone drives a unicorn into the bridal party, but Jolie is able to call and touch the unicorn, proving she is still a virgin (and stunning her father and the entire town). |

It also adds that nobody wants male virgins at all, with even the sex-slavers preferring male slaves to have some experience. | |

One of Conan's many doomed love interests starts out as a virgin warrior who can magically adorn herself with impenetrable armor and gain incredible strength and speed. She and Conan eventually fall in love and have sex. She later dies after being captured, because she couldn't do the armor thing anymore. At least he got laid that time? | |

The point of which in the anime was as part of her Strike Me Down plan to make Himeko kill her but in the manga, it was meant to remove her powers through the loss of her purity, thus making her worthless as a sacrifice to the Orochi, but it's subverted by the use of Himeko's hymen-blood to revive Ame No Murakumo since that blood is technically pure. | |

About to win a game of pool for double or nothing (her soul and Drew's), he boasts, "In the corner pocket... Devil's about to take a virgin bride!" At which point Drew and friends cackle. Upon finding out she has had sex, he insists "there's leeway" and whispers a question the audience doesn't hear. Looking almost embarrassed, she says, "Just once". He storms out, saying "You people are sick!" and resulting in the immortal quote: | |

The Bible: The Four Gospels: A virginnote Translations vary; some translate the word as "young girl", who is assumed to be a virgin when she's first married anyway brings the son of God into the world. It may or may not matter that she was a virgin; some denominations believe she was supposedly also born without original sin. This is the case with many of the Catholic saints. St. Margaret of Cortona was an interesting one, in that Christ promised her in a vision that he would still honor her as a virgin in heaven even though she had a son before her conversion. In the Book of Revelation, the 144,000 of the 12 tribes of Israel will be celibate virginal men who have "not defiled themselves with women", with some interpreters suggesting that they may be imbued with supernatural power. |

The Stand: Randall Flagg psychically forbids Nadine from having vaginal intercourse until she can join him and he can impregnate her. This doesn't stop her from fooling around with Harold every other way the pair can think of, so whether that's Virgin Power or just Flagg not wanting her to get pregnant by someone else first is unclear. | |

The Witcher: Toyed with. At one point, you need to obtain the tears of a virgin for a potion that would cure lycanthropy. The obvious solution is to ask the nuns at the local hospital, but virgins can also be found among the townsfolk — though, curiously, only women, except for a single man: the upright and pious-to-a-fault knight Siegfried. Too bad the potion ultimately does not work. | |

Oglaf probably inevitably plays with this trope occasionally: Only virgins can see the Enchanted City of Vanorva. Because of this, the entire population of the city is celibate, to avoid accidentally depopulating the city. If a supposed slut somehow enters the city (even if the sex activities were not consensual, as most of Ivan's were not), there is widespread panic. Except, blowjobs don't count. Or flang. The jury's still out on anal. Ivan tried to convince Navaan it was okay, but she had second thoughts after seeing the soldiers looking for them. In the two-strip story "The Virgin Cobbler", the highly skilled title character tells her aristocratic clients that her skills are empowered by her virginity. One comely female client sets out to ensure that none of her rivals will ever acquire more stylish footwear than her own by deflowering the cobbler. (Lesbian is assumed to count here.) The cobbler seems quite happy with that and then goes off to buy a potion of virginity restoration. The punchline is that the cobbler knows that the potion is just sugar water, just like cobbling skill comes from talent and practice. She and the potion vendor share an opinion of rich people. In the three-strip story "Lapis Lazuli", Vanka attempts to steal two huge gemstones from a temple, only to be stopped by two monks who claim to be undefeatable in battle, due to an "ancient secret". Vanka spots the text on their idol which says "purity is strength". She promptly rapes them, rendering them unable to even punch her, let alone stop her from leaving with the gemstones. They then change the inscription to claim their weakness is bees. |

Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition: The Vow of Chastity Feat in Book of Exalted Deeds supplement gives a character many benefits for maintaining virginity, including the feat Vow Of Chastity. This Feat is a requirement for two prestige classes offered in the book (one of which involves acquiring a unicorn as your companion, naturally). Downplayed with the spell lantern light from Book of Exalted Deeds, which requires the character to abstain from sex for at least 24 hours before casting it. The Oriental Adventures book has a Prestige Class called the Eunuch Warlock. Being evil is a requirement. |

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: As Satoru Mikami is dying, he notes that being a 37-year-old virgin should make him comparable to some sort of saint or "great sage". Because he was unknowingly giving requests to what skills and abilities his future reincarnation would have, he ended up gaining the skill "Great Sage", which acts like a magical Benevolent A.I. that assists him in all aspects of his new life as the slime Rimuru Tempest, analyzing his surroundings, offering possible solutions to the problems he encounters, and explaining the mechanics of his skills and the basics of the world. | |

World's End Harem: Fantasia: Magical power in the series partly runs on the notion that power is expelled by sexual activity. It thus logically follows that virgins or people who otherwise rarely indulge are the most powerful mages... at least according to the series' folklore. Zig-Zagged with main character Arc Nargala, who is a virgin at the start of the series (since he's a teenager) and is required by the dark elven sorceress Lati to abstain from any form of sexual activity for a full year to help build up magic power... for a ritual to infuse him with Sex Magic called Macht that specifically involves Lati taking his virginity. Afterwards, he alternately abstains and indulges in the advice of Lati to manage his power levels. Secondary character "Magical Vir—GIRL Johanna"—her words—is a wizard who has kept her virginity ostensibly to enhance her magic potential. She's a little sensitive about it. Deutius, Crown Prince of the Madalis Empire, is an aspiring archmage, and refuses to consummate with his wife, Arc's cousin Aurelia Isteshia, on the grounds of not wanting his powers reduced—preferring to conjure Naughty Tentacles to occupy her when she presses him on producing an heir. On the other hand, he's also jealous enough that he placed a curse on her that will kill both her and her partner if she has sex with anyone else. |

The Darkness series has this to a certain extent. While Jackie was not a virgin before his 21st birthday, he later learned that having sex with a woman would kill him, because the Darkness (and his life by extension) would leave once his sperm fertilized an egg. It should be noted that this revelation caused him almost as much distress as the people who were trying to kill him when he found out. There is, however, a loophole; the Darkness itself possesses him and rapes the comatose Sara Pezzini, bearer of half of the Witchblade. The NSFW art◊ implies that they or their... riders were both conscious of it on some level, but still. Please note that neither Jackie nor Sara has any memory of the conception. | |

In the Mabinogion, the main work of Welsh mythology, the god Math ap Mythonwy would die unless his feet rested in the lap of a virgin while he was not at war. When his original virgin was raped while he was off fighting, Gwydion suggests his sister Arianrhod as her successor. To prove her virginity, Arianrhod had to jump over Math's magic wand. She immediately gave birth to two sons. Needless to say she was out of the running and royally pissed. There's a reason one of her roles is the goddess of revenge and karma. | |

In Orc Eroica, an orc who turns 30 while remaining a virgin becomes an Orc Mage, gaining magical powers and also a visible crest on his forehead. However, if an orc who was originally a warrior goes through this, he's looked down on by other orcs. This is a problem for the protagonist Bash, a 28-year-old orc warrior who wants to get rid of his virginity before it literally becomes visible to everyone. | |

Darkover: Only virgin women can harness maximum psychic powers and become "Keepers", basically by not channeling their energy into sex, they have far more psychic power available. In the darker days some Keepers were psychologically and even physically castrated so they could not engage in or even think about sex even if they wanted to. Psychological blocks against sexual activity are actually major plot points in at least two of the Darkover books. (But that's probably a different trope.) A lot of the problem was cultural; an almost religious importance was attached to the idea of the Keepers as sexless virgins, and more than one person died for saying that it didn't have to be that way. | |

Wizards are expected to remain celibate because they believe sex messes with their powers. There is the suggestion that performing powerful magic is just as much fun as orgasm. The book Sourcery reveals the true reason — every male child of a wizard is born a wizard and the eighth male child born to a wizard is a "sourceror" (a wizard "squared"), with very bad results for the Discworld as a whole. Luckily, wizards are generally the kind of geeks who would have difficulty attracting women anyway. (As the Discworld Companion puts it, if magic cared whether or not you're a virgin, Nanny Ogg would be a washerwoman.) | |

Dracula wants the amulet because every hundred years, the amulet becomes vulnerable enough that it can be shattered. The titular bunch of kids first try it out with Patrick's sister, only to find out that she's not a virgin because of a one-night stand, so they have to have Sean's sister, five-year-old Phoebe, read through the spell with the help of Scary German Guy. | |

Please Save My Earth - the Kiches Sarjalian, who can talk and sing to plants, lose their powers upon losing their virginity. Lots of sexual tension. Subverted when Moku Ren keeps her powers even after she's raped by Shion, which causes a huge misunderstanding that's the reveal behind the entire plot. Mokuren is a special case though, all other Kiches Sarjalians, including her parents, really do lose their power once they aren't virgins. And yes, there are male virgins with special powers too (rare as they are)! | |

Mahabharata: A young princess by the name of Kunti receives a mantra that she can use to summon a god for sex. She is told that she can use it up to five times without compromising her virginity. She does so and has five sons as a result, the Pandavas. She gets curious, uses it one more time than she's supposed to, and has another son by the name of Karna, whom she sends away. Her daughter-in-law Draupadi is also informed by the god Shiva that her virginity is renewed each time she bathes. When the Kauravas start Slut-Shaming her for having five husbands and refusing to have sex with Duryodhana in front of his court, the Brahmins in the area refuse to do any work, because of her honor being dragged through the mud. She is also very close with Krishna. Draupadi and Kunti are both honored as holy virgins, both in the epic itself and in the context of Hinduism. |

Medusa was originally a beautiful priestess of Athena. However, when Athena caught Poseidon raping her, she transformed Medusa's beautiful hair into serpents and made her face so terrible to behold that the mere sight of it would turn onlookers to stone. That was the later, darker - and more well-known - version stated by Ovid in The Metamorphoses. The older version says that their affair was consensual. In fact, it's very hard to tell even what Ovid meant, as the ancient Greeks (and a number of modern cultures) define rape as having sex with a woman against the wishes of her patron - either her husband, her father, or in this case, Athena - the consent of the woman being inconsequential. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer One scene has Willow looking at some phlebotinum and saying "You know, a dash of this mixed with a virgin's saliva will...do something I know nothing about". There's also "Teacher's Pet", which involves a Praying Mantis demon looking to mate with virgin males, in an interesting subversion of the trope. Of course, Xander, who has been professing his masculine sexual prowess for the entire episode, falls into the demon's trap, and consequently has to endure the barbs of his friends for being a virgin. It's made a little more tolerable for him by the discovery that the year group's stud who had been making Xander feel inadequate for his lack of sexual experience was also entrapped by the demon... meaning he was a virgin, too. Xander may have been embarrassed, but the jock was downright humiliated. Glory rejects Spike as the Key because the Key needs to be pure, hence she needs virginal Dawn to complete her dimension merging ritual. |

Cicely, one of the sample characters in GURPS Wizards, believes that if she loses her virginity, the elven goddess of chance will take away her seer powers. However, this is a delusion on her part, and her powers have nothing to do with the elven goddess of chance. Questioning her on this point is not recommended, as she's been known to become violent on the subject. | |

Unlimited Fafnir: D's lose their powers in one of two ways: Aging to 20 or so, or pregnancy. The closest we've seen to the former is Haruka Shinomiya who was a D and has since lost her powers and Kili Surtr Muspelheim who is at most in her late teens and nearing that point before Yuu makes her his "mate", which leaves her control of dark matter in the future uncertain. No pregnancy-related loss of powers has been shown so far. | |

Hellsing: In both the manga and OVA versions virgins drained by a vampire become vampires themselves, while non-virgins are turned into mindless zombie-like ghouls (though it becomes a plot point when even children and other obvious virgins are found as ghouls instead of vampires). This is why, in the first chapter/episode, Alucard asks if Seras is a virgin before... Also, some characters remark that virgin blood tastes better; at one point, the Big Bad asks that the first paratrooper to land in the final battle be given virgin blood as a reward. |

Witch World: Everyone believes that the witches lose their powers with their virginity, and it's proven to be true (one of the nastier enemies of the witches rapes the ones he catches for that very reason). However, most of the main female characters end up keeping their powers, even through several children. The books never address it explicitly, but all the cases where the woman keeps her powers has her having sex with a man who also has powers (unheard of in the land where the early books occur) and in at least some cases, their powers ended up somehow linked. The sole exception being Elys. Jervon explicitly does not have any sort of magical power, which is what caused half the trouble in Songsmith. Gillan may also be an exception, considering the kind of power her husband has. Consensuality may have something to do with it, as may the expectation that you will lose your powers. | |

River of Dancing Gods: The female protagonist starts out learning a form of magic that demands virginity. Naturally, once she's passed her tests she's instead taught a form of power based on prostitution. | |
