Was there a "virgin pin" ??

I have a very vague memory of a line between two girls, as the 2nd is going on a date, "do you want to borrow my virgin pin" ??

Anyone recollect?

Would a "virgin pin" make you look like a virgin again, or the opposite?

Thank you so much! I've always been puzzled by this.

Yes. There really was, such a thing.

If you weren't a virgin, and tried to wear the pin anyway, it would burn you!

Ha ha! Is that like when I use my stud-finder and pretend that it's attracted to me!? I think every guy with a goofy sense of humor has tried that trick at least once.

Marty gave Frenchy her virgin pin to pierce Sandy’s ears at the sleepover.

I think they were called purity pins. Like the purity rings the modern generation tend to wear.
