Where a person's virginity or absence thereof can be confirmed by some sort of sign or symbol immediately visible on them (that is to say, definitely not requiring a gynecological examinationnote In real life, it's not possible to determine if someone has previously had sexual intercourse even with a gynecological examination — see here). This can work through magic, Applied Phlebotinum, or simply social convention. It's the Sister Trope of Bloodstained Defloration. Compare Did You Just Have Sex?, Nerds Are Virgins (nerdiness as a Virginity Flag), Sex Dressed, Virginity Makes You Stupid, Virgin Power, Virgin in a White Dress (clothing as an actual or alleged Virginity Flag), Virgin Vision (the unjustified form of this). |

Angel: In a flashback scene, evil vampire Angelus is able to tell that three sisters are virgins just by looking at them. As one of the sisters is a seer, she turns to look at him in horror. It's Drusilla, the woman he will turn into a vampire after driving her insane by slaughtering her family. | |

Reika from Futari Ecchi can just tell if a person is a virgin or has already had sexual intercourse by merely looking at them. This allowed her to know instantly that Old Maid Kyoko is still a virgin and Shoko was experienced, though still shocked because she was more concerned about such a young-looking girl to be at a bar. | |

The creator of Dilbert can't exactly announce when the titular character has sex thanks to newspaper censors, but he explained to curious fans that he'd show it in-universe by drawing Dilbert's tie uncharacteristically limp. | |

In the fourth series of Misfits, there's a minor character who has the power to make the number of sexual partners a person has had appear on that person's forehead. How the power defines sex for this purpose is not fully specified — but judging from the effect on characters with known sexual histories, receiving oral sex apparently doesn't count. | |

In the world of Touch, sex causes people to get a dark patch around one eye called the Mark of Purity. Since the protagonist is a twelve-year-old boy dealing with the aftermath of being raped, this obviously presents a problem if he doesn't want to advertise his issues to the world. When we first meet him he's covering it with his mother's makeup, and he talks to his therapist about options like skin-tone patches or cosmetic surgery. The therapist notes that even under normal circumstances, the Mark's appearance can be pretty awkward. | |

While not outright stated (it is a kids' show), Avatar: The Last Airbender had a scene where Sokka comes out of his tent in the morning wearing a flower lei Suki had been wearing the previous night (and he had been seen in a Ready for Lovemaking pose). So he got lei'd, she got deflowered, geddit? | |

In The Black Company short story "Tides Elba", the city's religion the company is stationed in includes that women permanently shave off all the hair below their neckline after losing their virginity. The Black Company being a mercenary outfit full of men with too much time on their hands, this gets discussed at length. | |

In The 40-Year-Old Virgin, this is first subverted and then played straight. At first, nobody realizes that the main character is a virgin. On the other hand, the daughter of his primary love interest can tell he's a virgin, somehow having gained the ability to spot anyone's virginity flag simply by virtue of spending her high school days with sexed-up teenage boys. | |

A variation in Ravenloft, where women in one multicultural area use hairscarves to denote whether they're single or married. Problem is, one culture uses scarves to indicate singlehood and another indicates marriage, leading to a lot of brawls. | |

Everyone in the world of Loveless has kitty ears and a tail that fall off when they lose their virginity. This connection is conveyed through social cues within the story, and exactly what point defines 'the outer border of virginity' is never really defined. For all the sexually charged atmosphere, the lead is a twelve-year-old boy. A grown woman with ears is teased about still having hers, and having already lost their ears is a sign of some enemy characters' pitiful depravity, but the wider social implications, for example in high school or religious orders, aren't explored, with the most it's addressed being one female high school age character having fake ears that she wears in public. | |

Song at Dawn: It is customary for a bride to wear her hair up after consummating her marriage (i.e. losing her virginity.) Estela doesn't do it after her marriage because John isn't interested in doing it with her. Instead, she does it after a traumatic experience with a stable hand that she doesn't want to admit to herself was a mistake. | |

In The Red Tent, it's mentioned that among the Canaanite wives that Jacob's sons took, the morning after the wedding night, the mother of the bride would run into the tent and steal the bloodstained blanketnote We now know that neither blood from a broken hymen nor a "tight" sensation are reliable proof of virginity, but this story is set in the Bronze Age, to save just in case Jacob wanted "proof" that the bride was a virgin (and therefore that he had paid a fair price for her). The women of Padan-Aram think this is Squick, and their Ritual of Opening is designed to make it so that there won't be a bloodstain so no one will know whether they're virgins or not and judge their worth by that. | |

Hellsing: Played with. When a vampire fatally drains an opposite-sex human and that human is a virgin, they also become a vampire. If not, they becomes a ghoul. While this makes it easy to tell which opposite-sex victims were virgins or not after the fact, most vampires can't tell which humans are virgins or not before they drink. This leads to some vampires who don't want to sire children (like the starter villain) personally ensuring that their meal is a non-virgin before drinking. Millennium-made vampires are different in that drained victims can only become ghouls whether the victim was virgin or not (something Hellsing learned from victims who were far too young to have sex lives). | |
