74. Whom neither any human [45] nor jinn has ever touched before.

[45] The third attribute of the houris given to the people of Paradise is that they will be virgins. From this verse, it is also understood that those pious jinn who enter Paradise will also be given houris. It should be noted that the meaning of "tamth" is also the blood of menstruation. And "tamth" means a woman being in her menstrual period, and also a man breaking a woman's hymen. Thus, this word is specifically used for the first intercourse.
