To sign "virgin," form a 'V' handshape with your dominant hand by extending your index and middle fingers while keeping your other fingers tucked in. Position your hand so your palm is facing inward, and place the side of your index finger near the side of your chin or jawline. Smoothly slide the 'V' handshape straight down along the side of your face and neck. The movement is a single, deliberate downward stroke.
