I don't think he's lost his virginity yet. I mean, he's what, thirteen? Few people have done it by then with the exception of his sister. Plus if he had he wouldn't be so embarassed every time somebody mentions something remotely sexual.

It's funny that both Miki and Utena are seen as the "innocent" characters of the series - I think they're completely different levels of innocent/naive. I actually think that Utena is the more innocent of the two when it comes to sexuality (even if we saw how she lost her virginity)/perversion/"getting" sexual references/innuendos. I think that Miki is definitely not as innocent as he appears, although still very oblivious, or at least tries to be. Whereas Utena is more just naturally and honestly oblivious... although, as you can see with the episodes with Akio, not all the time.
Edit: Come to think of it, Nanami is pretty innocent, sexuality-wise at least.

I see Miki as more repressed than innocent. I don't think he's ever had sex in the series, unless it was possibly Kozue (when they were younger) but I do think that he thinks about it a lot, whether with his sister or with Anthy. I think he just TRIES not to think about it, and he experiences a great deal of shame about it. \:

There's a dichotomy with the twins as Freud's concept of the "superego," and "id," that I always keep coming back to when I think of them. Kozue is the id, sexualized and not ashamed of it, and she doesn't try to hide or repress anything to please society. Miki, on the other hand, represses things that he feels that he isn't comfortable with or thinks that society won't like - such as having sexual feelings for his sister, or any kind of sexual feelings, really. So he projects his childhood memory of Kozue on to Anthy, who is a "safe," (but not really, haha) object of his affections.

Another example of him trying to appease society (maybe) is when he and Kozue get a letter from their parents, she openly scoffs at it, while he tries to reason with her. "They're still our parents." I'm not sure if he's trying to be "a good child," and repress any feelings of resentment for his parents, or if he just honestly isn't as bothered by them as Kozue is -- but seeing as how they neglected both of them so much, it seems likely that he should feel at least some resentment toward them, but tries to hide it and be a good son.

I don't really see Miki as innocent/naive when he's trying to shyly come over and see Anthy (and Utena), or how he blushes all the time around Anthy, or how how he gets agitated when he sees Kozue with Touga or another guy... I mean, with a sister like Kozue doing all that, he obviously has to think about it a good deal. Thinking about his sister sleeping with sleezy guys all the time, wow.... and I'm sure that's how Kozue wants it.

And then, of course, there's the car scene with them...

But when it comes to Miki and the piano teacher... I think the piano teacher obviously wants to, but despite how not-innocent I think Miki is, I don't think he had sex with the piano teacher or even senses his creepiness. He might be acting more cheerful/friendly with him to piss Kozue off, though. But this does seem like one of those scenes where Kozue sees what Miki can't see.

Personally I think he and Kozue had some fun in their childhood, and he's the one who pulled the plug on it out of moral reasons, whatever.  Kozue's pissed because he no longer wants her anymore.  Kozue tries her best to make him jealous by being a slut.  Miki is completely embarrassed by what he did in his past and tries to forget that it even happened.  He's repressed.
^my opinion about the matter.

I wonder if Miki will ever experience healthy sex... I always imagine him on the wrong side of sexually violent crimes

... I'm amused to wonder which you figure is the right side of a sexually violent crime.

Regardless, I think the argument that he's more repressed than sexually naive is right on target.

Miki is like... one of those kids you see and you think "Aw look at him/her, childhood innocence, what a cute kid." But that cute kid is actually a kid who knows everything. About life, sex , the ways of the world etc.

He chooses to only show his true self when he wants and to who he wants.  I mean really, if he caught Anthy by herself long enough (without Utena's interruptions) ...it's a wrap.

He is on the Student Council after all. The corrupt student council.
