Virginity in the broadest sense means never having been used. Sex is the most common context for this, though the term can be used in many other ways. So breaking or losing virginity means you have had sex. There are different definitions of virginity. Some use it to refer only to vaginal sex, while others use the term in reference to *any* sex act involving another person. Or they may specify virginity for each activity (like being a virgin regarding "full sex" but not oral sex).

Sometimes people equate an intact hymen with virginity. When it is torn during the first time a woman has sex, it often bleeds. However, that is not an accurate measure of virginity and can lead to false accusations in locations where virginity is very important. A girl can be born without much of a hymen, so it may spontaneously tear with age. Accidents and tampon usage could tear it too, depending on how far back it is and how strong it is. Sexual assault is another cause for a torn hymen. In that case, a girl/woman might not technically be a virgin, she still can be in the moral sense of the term, since she was a crime victim and not the initiator of the encounter.

How do you become a 100 percent virgin again?

Biologically, it is not possible to become a "100 percent virgin" again, as virginity is often defined by whether someone has had sexual intercourse. Once sexual intercourse has occurred, the hymen (a thin piece of tissue at the opening of the vagina) may be stretched or torn, but this is not definitive proof of virginity. Virginity is a social and cultural construct and can mean different things to different people.
