The unicorn is a rather wide spread myth and varies depending on the region. The virgin thing started because in some versions of the myth the Unicorn are so wild that only pure maiden could approach one without it running away or attempting to impale them. Some versions say the maiden could just get close others say that the unicorn would be willing to take a nap with its head in her lap. If I remember right some the older versions said the woman didn't even have to be a virgin just pure of heart, though the myths changed as time went on and the Christian took over Europe.
