A friend and I were researching and noticed that there were a couple of records for the oldest male virgin, yet there are almost no records for the oldest female virgin. When typed into google as a phrase it yielded around 6 results. Why is this? Is it just that women are more secretive than men? It was quite intriguing, considering that there is a way to “tell” (though not with complete accuracy) if a female is or isn’t. Kinda an adult-ish topic, but interesting nonetheless.
Mother Teresa?
But where does it say she was a virgin?
Hmm, those aren’t bad guesses. Any records of women who were celibate for non-religious reasons?
The idea for this thread actually stemmed from here:

See, I noticed they had a section for “male”, but not for “female”. It’s also strange to note all of the listed were also brilliant scientists and mathmeticians. I wonder if their celibacy had an impact on that.
When I see obituaries for nuns in my local Catholic newspaper, they are frequently in their upper 90s. It must be a healthy lifestyle, because they seem to live forever! So I would guess that Mother Teresa doesn’t even come close to the record, as I think she died when she was in her 80s.
I can’t really believe there is a record for this kind of thing male or female.
I think there would be more likely a rough statistic of precentage of population that dies as virgins.
I would be inclined to presume that math and/or science was sex to them.
But remember that nuns aren’t neccesarily virgins. Not every nun joins right after puberty. And not every nun keeps their vows. And some of those nuns might be “technical virgins” if those Victorian-era pornographic novels have any accuracy.
True, but considering the sheer number of them who live to be in their 90s, you have to figure that at least SOME of them went into the convent when they were 13 and never came out.
Mary, mother of Christ, 2000 years old and counting…
(or not)
If I am reading this correctly then Clare Smith at 95 must be a contender:
She said: “We were so innocent my husband and I didn’t even know what having sex was. We both wore thick pyjamas and he played the mouth organ in bed all the time. I married twice and I never had sex. It didn’t bother me, what you don’t know, you don’t miss.”
Wise words indeed.
Instead of essaying a tasteless joke about mouth organs I’ll just say it’s a pity the husband didn’t play the virginal. Or the hand trumpet.
Definitely not these guys 
You gotta wonder if that’s a euphemism for something.
there’s still no definite answer to the original question though (I suppose there probably won’t be). . . but why are there no records of this? Especially non-religious wise.
Same reason there’s no records of the oldest male virgin, because there’s no possible way to collect the stats. The real question is, why do some people feel compelled to make wild-assed guesses, and call them records, as to the oldest male virgin, but not make the same guess-labelled-records for women?
I just ran across this story - Woman joins small club of ‘consecrated virgins’.
Not. She had James later on. Unless Joseph was content raising a house full of Gods kids I suspect he schtuped her once or twice.
