An individual can claim to be a born-again virgin if, after having engaged in sexual intercourse, s/he makes a commitment to not be sexually active until marriage (or some other point in the future, or indefinitely). This term has gained some popularity among fundamentalist Christians, who place a strong emphasis upon sexual purity and abstinence from premarital and extramarital relations.[1]
In rare cases, born-again virgin females undergo a hymenorrhaphy to restore their hymen.[2] Another option is the artificial hymen.
