Let’s talk about the sacred seal
Anonymous: Hey! So I heard the other day that the hymen is a myth! And I wanted to know what you thought about that. I’m not really sure what to believe.
Hi, Anonymous. Sorry I’ve been diverting from questions and posting mostly about politics. Elections just bring out the spitfire in me.
In my opinion, the physical existence of the hymen is not a myth. It is a membrane that surrounds the vaginal opening. I just believe attributing it’s rupture to forgoing of one’s v-card as mythical. Hymens come is all sorts of shapes and sizes and can be torn in a number of ways that aren’t related to sexual activity. Saying someone isn’t truly a virgin because their hymen is undetectable is ridiculous. Only you or the person in question can decide if you’re a virgin or not. And yes, I say decide because only you know your complete sexual history. I’m not advocating the “born-again virgin” platform either. I’m just saying it’s silly for people to place the mere act of having sex for the first time as the factual and doctor-deteced disappearance of one single membrane.
