白纸男

    báizhǐnán

    Meaning: "白纸" means "white paper," and "男" means "men." This term, which literally means "white-paper man," refers to one who has never dated a woman or who has no experience of love and sex. Chinese people use the saying "a piece of paper" to refer to the situation of having no experience or being intact. Similarly, people also call women who have no experience of love and sex "white-paper women."
