A subtrope of [[Human Sacrifice]], [[Virgin
▲A subtrope of [[Human Sacrifice]], Virgin Sacrifices typically fall under three main categories:
* As payment to a god or some other power, either to [[Gods Need Prayer Badly|keep them functioning]] or to win their favor in general.
* As payment to a god or some other power for the exclusive use of some powerful [[Applied Phlebotinum]].
* As a [[Powered by a Forsaken Child|necessary fuel]] for one's own continued existence (eg: a vampire who needs to feast
Popular places to conduct virgin sacrifices include, dark, skull-lined altars under glowering idols and [[Appease the Volcano God|the edges of active volcanoes]]. Abandoned churches with upside-down crosses in them make a nice setting for any vampiric or Satanically-themed sacrifices (although, if the church in question is in use, the alley next to it works just as well).
Virgin Sacrifices are usually young, female, pure-minded, and sometimes raised from birth to
If the intended victim is, in fact, ''not'' a virgin, you can expect some [[Hilarity Ensues|hilarious hijinks to occur]] when that fact is uncovered, seeing as the victim's ''actual'' purity tends to be directly proportionate to the intelligence (or lack thereof) of the ones making the offer, and ''inversely'' proportionate to the consequences for offering a non-virgin. Some cruel (yet stupid) villains might get the idea to use the hero's girlfriend for such an offering, despite the obvious flaw in such a plan.
In the ultra-rare case that a ''male'' virgin is required for a [[Virgin Sacrifice]], expect the situation to be played for as much humor as possible. Also, expect the victim to be [[A Man Is Not a Virgin|far more upset that his friends have discovered his virgin status]] than he is about actually ''being'' sacrificed.▼
▲In the ultra-rare case that a ''male'' virgin is required for a
The virgin will usually be saved right from the sacrificial altar by the [[Big Damn Heroes]], or via an elaborate scheme by her allies to impersonate the hungry god.
Despite the most obvious logical solution, Virgin Sacrifice situations are hardly ever resolved by giving the sacrifice-to-be an opportunity to have an intimate encounter, thus rendering the Virgin Sacrifice unsuitable. (Unless the victim is male and the story is a [[Sex as Rite-
Also note that virgin sacrifices are never the most obvious solution -- children -- [[Infant Immortality|for obvious reasons]]. The most common in-story justification is that the victim's virginity is ritually significant for some reason connected to the fact that they ''might have but didn't'', which lets the prepubescent population off the hook.▼
▲Also note that virgin sacrifices are never the most obvious solution
While ''human'' sacrifice is [[Truth in Television]] -- though less frequently than religions have been accused of it -- the Virgin Sacrifice is not so accurate.▼
Often tied in with a [[Town with a Dark Secret]] and [[A Fete Worse Than Death]].
Subtrope of [[Virgin Power]] and [[Powered by a Forsaken Child]]. This is most definitely a down side to [[Nature Adores a Virgin]].

▲{{examples}}
* ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]''
** The power that Miaka and Yui (and before them, Takiko and Suzuno) are granted is not only a [[Virgin Power]], it also can result in a Virgin Sacrifice, if the wielder of the power isn't strong-willed enough to keep from being absorbed by the god she's calling upon.
** In Nuriko's character novel, ''Yukiyasha Den'', the [[Title Drop|eponymous]] snow demon feasts only on beautiful, young, virgin girls.
* Pretty much a staple of the hentai series ''Bible Black''. Heck, the first episode even begins with a virgin being sacrificed. Subverted as the girl was raped beforehand, therefore not a virgin. Too bad that the chick who was sacrificing said girl didn't know that she was no longer a virgin....
* Played straight in the anime series ''[[Vandread]]'', with ''whole worlds'' up for the Virgin Sacrifice, both literally and figuratively, in combination with the subplot {{spoiler|of Earth using its colony worlds as organ banks in a program known as the Harvest}}. The worlds of the principal characters, Tarak and Majere, are literal ''worlds'' of virgins (in a heterosexual sense) that {{spoiler|have been taught that each is the other's enemy for precisely that reason: Tarak and Majere are to supply the sexual organs, and Earth wants them in as pristine a condition as possible}}. There is also the episode where the ''Nirvana'' encounters its first harvester ship; the planet in question has not physical virgins, but mental
* Parodied in ''[[Bastard!!]]'' as a vampire feeding on captured holy swordswomen bites into one and vomits before starting a rant about girls these days. Seems not all holy swordswomen are as chaste as they're meant to be.
* In ''[[Record of Lodoss War]]: Chronicles of the Heric Knight'', the dark priestess Naneel arranged for her ressurection by placing part of her life force into a baby who would be one of the three main components for the resurrection ritual. But the child fell into the hand of the priestess Old Neese who {{spoiler|raised it as her own daughter Leylia}}. When the resurrection was finally to take place {{spoiler|Leylia}} had long since been married and a child of her own, which made her unsuitable as the sacrifice. But her daughter, {{spoiler|Young Neese}}, would also work. Despite nothing less than

Line 44:
* In one issue of ''[[Marvel Comics]]'' version of Captain Marvel, Marlo was attending the grand opening of a comic book store when the store owner revealed himself to be a wizard and, after seeing that she was the only one uneffected by his mind control soda (she'd accidentally spilled it), [[Evil Gloating|told her that the whole thing was just an elaborate ruse.]] After she pointed out how overly complex his plan was, he asked her to name an easier way to find 100 virgins on a Saturday night in LA. Her answer: "''Star Trek'' Convention."
* The male version occurs in ''[[Red Sonja]]: Blue''. The sacrifice attempts to claim that he is no virgin but his claims are dismissed because the [[Evil Sorcerer]] making the sacrifice comes from his village and knows him, and because the demon involved can smell the innocence on him. The claim appears to be a desperate attempt to escape his fate rather than any shame at being a virgin, however.
* Parodied on the cover of ''[[XXXenophile]]'' #11, which features [[Appease the Volcano God|the volcano god]] rejecting the
* The humorous male version appeared in ''[[Mad Magazine]]'s'' "Monroe" series.▼
* One ''[[The Far Side]]'' comic has two woman being carried up the side of a volcano by a group of natives. One woman assures her friend, "And you were worried they wouldn't like Americans! Why, they lit right up when we said we were Virginians."▼
* Implied in [http://www.dilbert.com/strips/comic/2010-02-19/ this strip] of ''[[Dilbert]]''.▼
* At one point in ''[[Doonesbury]]'', Uncle Duke was governor of American Samoa. When the local volcano started to erupt, a virgin sacrifice was needed, with several young women vying for the honor. As the winner was preparing to dive into the crater, her younger brother was loudly complaining about why boys couldn't be virgin sacrifices too. ("I can be just as chaste as any dumb girl!")▼
* The movie ''[[Once Bitten]]'' is a comedy about a virgin male who attracts the attention of an evil vampiress. The vampiress needs to feed on virgin (male) blood three times before Halloween in order to maintain her beauty. The victim manages to escape from the vampiress's clutches by convincing his frigid girlfriend (who's been holding him off the entire movie for "just the right time") to finally have sex with him.
* The Tsui Hark film ''Zu: Warriors of the Magic Mountain'' contains an encounter where the young hero and a master swordsman discover an evil cult that sacrifices virgins. As they are about to fight them, the hero realises they want virgin males and can detect him.
* Predated by the movie ''Andy Warhol's [[Dracula]]''; in that film, Dracula only subsists on virgin blood (the first two girls he tries to drink from, being non-
*
* The original version of ''[[The Wicker Man]]''. Note that the American version remake omits this element because (say it with me now) [[A Man Is Not a Virgin|an A-List Hollywood actor is not a virgin.]] Not even if he's Nicholas Cage. And yes, Edward Woodward does play a male virgin in the original, so there. Given an extra twist because it wasn't just the fact that he was a virgin that made him so perfect, {{spoiler|but the fact that he would willingly refuse sex from an extremely gorgeous woman out of virtue. That kind of purity can be hard to find, and Lord Summerisle made it clear that while a child sacrifice was valued, it was nothing compared to "The right kind of adult."}}
* In Dead Gentlemen Productions ''Demon Hunters: Dead Camper Lake'', Chris is taken as a virgin sacrifice to re-summon Duamerthrax the Indestructible. As expected, there are a fair number of "Wait, he's a... naaaaaah," moments.
Line 68 ⟶ 60:
* The monsters in ''[[Sleepwalkers]]'' must eat virgin souls to continue their incestuous, cat-hating existence.
* ''[[Conan the Barbarian]]'' has the Cult of Set sacrificing virgins to a giant snake. Conan saves one by accident (he kills the snake while stealing a jewel just before the virgin jumps into the snake's pit).
** In the sequel ''[[Conan the Destroyer]]'', he saves a virgin princess from being sacrificed... intentionally this time.
** And in [[Conan the Barbarian 2011|the 2011 film]] Conan has sex with the potential sacrifice ''before'' she's captured, yet it [[Fridge Logic|apparently makes no difference]] despite it being stated earlier that the sacrifice must be both of pure blood ''and'' a virgin.
* The Alchemist in ''Vidocq'' requires the blood of young female virgins to keep [[Mask Power|the mask that gives him his powers]] in the mend. The details are unclear, but one escaped subject seemed to have had her tongue cut out, and his laboratory contained mutilated human remains and rags that may have started out as human skins.
* ''[[The Lair of the White Worm]]'' has this idea as the

* [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] in ''[[The Cabin in the Woods]]''. {{spoiler|The ritual calls for one of the sacrifices to be designated "The Virgin", but the sacrifice actually ''being'' a virgin isn't strictly necessary. As the Director puts it, "We work with what we've got."}} Further [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] in that {{spoiler|according to the rules of the ritual, the virgin's death is optional if she survives to the end.}}
* 1991 TV movie ''[[Cast a Deadly Spell]]''. In this ''film noir''/horror pastiche set in an alternate 1940s Los Angeles where everyone uses magic except private detective [[H.P. Lovecraft|Harry Philip Lovecraft]], a cult leader has fathered and raised a daughter for the sole purpose of being the Virgin Sacrifice during the summoning of a [[Cosmic Horror|Thing Man Was Not Meant to Know]]. Unfortunately for Daddy and his ritual, she {{spoiler|got around his strictures by boinking an L.A. police officer...}}
* ''[[The Babysitter: Killer Queen]]'' has a male example, and zigzags the Trope. The cultists are under a [[Deal with the Devil|Faustian bargain]] that requires a human to be sacrificed and that human's blood mixed with that of an innocent (that would be Cole) which they then have to drink. The first victim does not have to be a virgin, and the innocent does not necessarily have to die. In fact, Allison suggests gang-raping him later, while Sonya is generous enough to bring cookies, which he'll need after losing blood.

* Many variations on the story of [[Elizabeth Bathory]]'s alleged [[Blood Bath|Blood Baths]] to rejuvenate her youth and beauty tell it with Bathory bathing in the blood of virgins.▼

* In the ''[[Lone Wolf]]'' book ''The Chasm of Doom'', the virgin Madelon is planned to be sacrified at the edge of the Maakengorge by bandit lord Barraka and the [[Religion of Evil|Disciples of Vashna]], in order to raise Darklord Vashna and his [[The Undead|army of undead]]. She's saved by Lone Wolf -- unless the player mucks it up.▼
== Literature ==
* ''Confessions of a Virgin Sacrifice'' by A.M. Ambrose is a snarky satire/fantasy novel about this trope.
* ''[[Discworld]]''
** In ''[[
** In a previous ''Discworld'' book, ''[[
* The rarity of male virgin sacrifices is mentioned in [[Mercedes Lackey]]'s ''[[Elemental Masters|The Fire Rose]]''. The villain needs a virgin sacrifice, and remarks that while the gender doesn't matter, it's so much easier to verify a woman's virginity than a man's.
* Subverted in a few other Lackey books. In ''[[Tales of the Five Hundred Kingdoms|One Good Knight]]'', the townspeople offer up girls as virgin sacrifices to pacify a rampaging dragon, and at least one isn't virginal in the least. (It turns out that the royal wizard summoned the dragon as a means of social
* In [[Roger Zelazny]]'s novel ''The Changing Land'', a wizard employs a "virgin detector spell" to locate a suitable sacrifice. The wizard is in a hurry to regain his power after a mishap and sacrificing a virgin is the quickest and easiest way. Naturally, the {{spoiler|[[Big Damn Heroes]] arrive just in time}}.
* In the novel ''The Day of the Dissonance'', some fairies decide to sacrifice a young girl who they have captive, stating that [[Blood Bath|bathing in virgin's blood]] would help them. The sacrifice is called off when the girl breaks into hysterical laughter at being told this. Seems she was held captive by [[
* In the novel ''[[Keepers Chronicles|Summon the Keeper]]'' by [[Tanya Huff]], an attempt by an evil keeper (a magic user who safeguards the balance between good and evil) during World War II to open a gateway to Hell in the basement of a bed and breakfast in Kingston, Ontario fails because her intended sacrifice of a teenage girl she assumed was a virgin turned out not to be and the keeper is placed in suspended animation. Then, in the present day she is accidentally revived and sets about to recreate her plan, this time with the chaste 20-year-old male cook/housekeeper of the B&B whose virginity is a surprise to his boss, Claire Hanson, the female protagonist of the series, who was further surprised to find out that her 17-year-old sister was not a suitable sacrifice because she had already become sexually active.
* A short story in [[Marion Zimmer Bradley]]'s ''Sword and Sorceress'' anthology series covers a lot of ground with this trope. The local religious elders are known to cheat when it comes to selecting victims, "randomly" selecting girls who turned them down, and once a girl is known to be the next chosen, removing her from contention is unwise because the boy who helps her tends to find that it's harder to prove a male isn't a virgin. So the protagonist (female, next victim) {{spoiler|finds the dragon she's supposed to be sacrificed to, finds that he doesn't care about the sexual history of his meals, and convinces him that fat priests are a better food source}}.
* Less extreme example in [[
* In ''[[Incarnations of Immortality|On a Pale Horse]]'', Luna knows she's living on borrowed time, and sets herself up to be eaten by a dragon. The preference of dragons for virgin (not necessarily human) prey is actually explained: generations ago, the species was nearly wiped out by a strain of venereal disease that unlucky dragons contracted from eating infected animals.
* In a play on the story of [[Greek Mythology|The Minotaur]], Minea in ''[[The Egyptian]]'' is to be sacrificed to the Cretan God... Only [[God Is Dead]] and rather than being sacrificed, she is killed to keep this a secret. Yeah, it's [[Crapsack World|that kind of story]].
* In Juliet Marillier's ''The Dark Mirror'' a virgin sacrifice is actually carried out to its gruesome
* In ''Heart's Blood'', a villain performs a virgin sacrifice in order to gain magical powers. A situation in which the heroine might be required to become a sacrificial victim is averted when she has sex the night before.
* We first meet one of the protagonists of the ''[[Farsala Trilogy]]'', Soraya, when she is preparing to be sacrificed to ensure the continued protection of her country from invaders. At that point, most readers probably think it [[Spoiled Brat|wouldn't be all that sad]], but her father engineers her escape.
* ''[[Conan the Barbarian]]''
** In [[Robert E. Howard]]'s story "[[The Scarlet Citadel]]", the evil Tsotha, upon learning that Conan has returned and has freed his old rival Pelias, loses it:

** In ''[[The Hour of the Dragon]]'', the wizard Xaltotun carries a young virgin girl to an alter with the intent to sacrifice her as part of a powerful spell, but he is interrupted by two good magicians who are allies of Conan.
* One of the earliest ''[[Doctor Who]] [[Virgin New Adventures]]'' has Ace offered up as a virgin sacrifice. By a [[Those Wacky Nazis|Nazi]] [[Ghostapo|Mystic Cult]]. This may seem surprising given her [[Really Gets Around|later reputation]], but it ''was'' one of the earliest novels.
* In ''[[Dragon's Bait]]'', this trope is invoked in universe by an evil cleric and a girl's village. Alys is falsely accused of witchcraft and the evil cleric declares they can kill two birds with one stone by sacrificing Alys (a virgin) to a dragon who is terrorizing another nearby village. [[Lampshaded]] by the dragon who says the "virgin" thing was made up by men, because the important people in a village aren't likely to be virgin girls.
* In [[David Weber]]'s ''[[The War Gods|Bahzell]]'' series, the demon god Sharna and his minions tend to want these. Being the [[Big Bad|Scorpion God]] of [[Complete Monster|Evil Bastardy]] in a series where the heroes don't/can't always make it in time, this tends to end up as, well, [[Squick]].
* ''[[The Tough Guide to Fantasyland]]'' goes for the squicky version of this, with the sacrifice being ritually raped and then disemboweled.

** In season four, Jasmine-possessing-Cordelia had to use fresh virgin blood so she could give birth to herself. [[It Makes Sense in Context]].
** In ''The Shroud of Rahmon'', Cordelia converses with Wesley about her feelings on virgin sacrifices, particularly women:
{{quote|
'''Wesley:''' For purity, I suppose.
'''Cordelia:''' This has nothing to do with purity. This is all about dominance, buddy. I can bet if someone ordered a male body part for a religious ceremony, the world would be atheist -- ''(snaps fingers)'' -- like that. }}

** It comes up again in "Like a Virgin", although the "sacrifice" in question is {{spoiler|possessed by the "Mother of All" rather than killed outright.
