undefiled

She had to be untouched and undefiled and pure and innocent.

These deep-pocketed pilgrims seek sushi as they imagine it is meant to be: perfect gemlike morsels, pure fruits of the sea undefiled by a hot pan, never mind cream cheese.

“Let these girls be reborn in light, undefiled by mortal lust, or let them descend to the Drowned God’s watery halls, to feast and dance and laugh until the seas dry up.”

The message: keep your cherry undefiled for your husband.

And this chastity, which was regarded as the ideal state, was not the purity of an undefiled marriage.
