For the Valkyries in Norse legend, yes. (spoilered in case you haven't read "Side Jobs"

Gard threw back her head and laughed. "Virgin daughters." She rose, shaking her head and glanced at her broken arm again. Then she leaned down and kissed me on the mouth. Her lips were a sweet, hungry litle fire of sensation, and I felt the kiss all the way to my toes - some places more than others, ahem.
She drew away slowly, her pale blue eyes shining. Then she winked at me and said, "Don't believe everything you read, Dresden." She turned to go, then paused to glance over her shoulder. "Though, to be honest, sometimes he does like us to call him Daddy. I'm Sigrun."

I have indeed; I read that para as Sigrun teasing Harry, plain and simple. Nothing says Valkyries can't flirt. and that para's full of salacious implication and not one direct claim that could get her into trouble.
sociotard:
Why would she want to imply that she is no virgin? To lie for the sake of lying?
Quantus:
Actually, the whole Virgin thing does not appear in any of the classic sources, and was mostly a product of latter adaption into the romantic periods where any female character was supposed to be a virgin, and from the change in the usage of the term "maiden". The classic legends had the Valkyries as Norns and royalty and shieldmaidens and such, but their virginity was no more or less integral to the role than any princess in a male dominated society; most of the legends actually featured them falling in love with various heroes, often counter to the planned marriages of their fathers or Odin.
And thats just the classic legends. We have a rather blatant in text citation of how the Virgin aspect is not part of the DV Valkyrie. If you choose to disbelieve the text without any particular reasoning/evidence behind, thats up to you...

To give him an enjoyable experience and set of images after they've just successfully fought together.
