How & Why this page was created

This page was originally created as I was taking a class on Jewish Law – Talmud *  tractate Kesubos related to the laws of divorce and if the woman was a virgin at the time.  While I’ve been selling and consulting on health insurance for years, I’m not truly familiar with human anatomy.  I researched the hymen so that I would understate what the Jewish Talmud was saying about it.  Then when I went back to class a few weeks later, they went to a different topic – tractate as they said the divorce & virginity laws were too complex and not really relevant in the 21st century.

My point is,  I’m a Jewish Guy in the USA and not really qualified to answer questions about if one is a virgin in Africa or the Middle East, with a different culture and religion.  Heck, most of what I know about Africa is from watching Tarzan, with Johnny Weissmuller

Why is Virginity so historically important and why  #test?

In the Middle Ages and biblical times virginity was a sought-after commodity, primarily because it was the surest method to guarantee paternity, inheritance, child support and estate planning.  Look how much trouble with child support, alimony and inheritance we have in California see links below. The only way to make absolutely sure that a child born to a marriage–a child who would inherit property from his father–is a legitimate heir was to bed a virgin bride.   Thus a high value was placed on virginity, making it a commodity of sorts.  Check out the Zulu Tribe Virgin Reed dance.

A unique feature of the vagina is that it comes hermetically sealed. For centuries, that seal, the hymen, has been the tangible proof of virginity.

An unbroken one that bleeds on the wedding night might prove virginity, but Secular 21st century science says that a broken one does mean a woman has had sexual intercourse and the Jewish Talmud goes into a lot of Q & A and discussion – Wood Injury on that.

An intact hymen, or virgo intacta, offers evidence to the male block of society (the clergy, the courts, the crown, fathers, and future husbands…all the ones who have assigned a high monetary value to virginity) that determined its presence.  The most obvious way to verify a woman’s virginity was to inspect the hymen.    History Undressed – Virginity Testing *

Term Life Insurance Quotes

Christianity – Jesus son of G-d had to be born of a Virgin

  • Both Matthew and Luke make a point of explicitly stating Mary’s virginity. The early Christian text the Protoevangelium of James (around A.D. 150) includes a memorable scene where a woman physically verifies Mary’s virginity, right after Christ’s birth.  Busted Halo * 
    • And the midwife went forth out of the cave, and Salome met her. And she said to her: Salome, Salome, I have a strange sight to relate to you: a virgin has brought forth — a thing which her nature admits not of. Then said Salome: As the Lord my God lives, unless I thrust in my finger, and search the parts, I will not believe that a virgin has brought forth.
    • 20. And the midwife went in, and said to Mary: Show yourself; for no small controversy has arisen about you. And Salome put in her finger, and cried out, and said: Woe is me for mine iniquity and mine unbelief, because I have tempted the living God; and, behold, my hand is dropping off as if burned with fire.  New Advent.org *

What is the Definition of the Hymen

This #stretchy skin – Hymen (explicit textbook photos) covers the opening of the vagina. In slang, it’s called a ”cherry” that can be ”popped” or torn when a girl loses her virginity. The hymen, however, can also be broken by being active, sports, horseback riding, etc.

The hymen is a membrane that surrounds or partially covers the external vaginal opening. It forms part of the vulva, or external genitalia, and is similar in structure to the vagina. In children, although a common appearance of the hymen is crescent-shaped, many shapes are possible.

The effects of sexual intercourse and childbirth on the hymen are variable. If the hymen is sufficiently elastic, it may return to nearly its original condition. In other cases, there may be remnants (carunculae myrtiformes), or it may appear completely absent after repeated penetration. Additionally, the hymen may be lacerated by disease, injury, medical examination, masturbation or physical exercise. For these reasons, the state of the hymen is not a conclusive indicator of virginity. Learn More see links below

Virginity for women in some cultures & religions may be defined as having an intact “hymen.”

The hymen is located about a half-inch inside the vagina. Not all girls are born with hymens, which makes this definition of virginity somewhat misleading.

Hymenoplasty to Restore the Hymen

 

  • Question Can a reconstructive hymen [surgery] be made for me and how much will it cost

  • Answer – Hymenoplasty surgery is a procedure that restores the hymen. The hymen is the membrane that partially covers the vagina. Although an intact hymen is thought in many cultures to be a sign of virginity, it can be torn due to many other factors besides having sex.  New Look New Life.com * cherokee womens health.com
    • Graphic Video of surgical repair
    • Wikipedia 
    • Among the medical profession, hymen reconstruction receives particular attention and its necessity is debated because the surgery is not medically indicated, and often reveals conflicting social norms on virginity and marriageability between health professionals and their patients.  Source BMC Women’s Health 
    • A hymen may be ruptured by sexual intercourse and several other means. In cultures prizing unmarried women’s virginity, premarital rupture may shame a woman, and her family. Women, including brides whose virginity is not proven at marriage, face humiliation, ostracism, divorce, and violence-at the extreme, “honor” killing. Nevertheless, gynecologists may oppose hymen reconstruction on grounds that it is deceptive, not medically required, or that the requirement of evidence of virginity discriminates against women and the procedure supports holding them to higher standards of virtue than are required of men. Gynecologists may justify the procedure, however, as serving health, which includes patients’ mental and social well-being and women’s human rights to control their own bodies. Further, many adolescents lose their virginity innocently, by rape or coercion, and, without hymen reconstruction, women may face violence and even death. The procedure is usually lawful, and distinguishable from female genital cutting or mutilation.  pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov  
    • Hymenoplasty is one of the least described vulvovaginal procedures in plastic surgery without any surgical standard that attempts to restore the hymen’s ability to bleed during sexual intercourse on a couple’s wedding night.  pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
  • Question –  I was in a car accident, fell off a horse, climb a fence, put in a tampon, masterbated, did pole vaulting and broke my hymen. Will health insurance in the USA pay for reconstructive surgery
  • Answer  I doubt it. I don’t see how one would be able to show Medical Necessity
    • A service is “medically necessary” or a “medical necessity” when it is reasonable and necessary to protect life, to prevent significant illness or significant disability, or to alleviate severe pain

Loss of virginity – #Masturbation

  • Can you break the hymen – are you still a virgin if you masterbate?
    • While you might break the hymen, you haven’t had sexual intercourse.  You might not have proof acceptable for biblical or medieval times, but is the question having had intercourse or having a membrane that modern science doesn’t agree with?

      • The hymen — now called the corona — is folds of thin, flexible membrane just inside the vaginal opening most female-bodied people have at birth. It gradually wears away over time through puberty and adulthood (through our normal vaginal discharges, menstruation, because of hormones, physical activity and yes, also with vaginal sexual activities), with or without any kind of sex
      • Most female-bodied people who have started menstruating and been through some of the process of puberty will not have fully intact hymens anymore, even if they have not had any kind of sex OR masturbated.
      • Our Bodies OurSelves
        • The vaginal corona may tear or thin out during exercise, masturbation or tampon use, or during other forms of vaginal penetration. Because of this, no one can look at a vaginal corona and know whether a person has had vaginal intercourse, or even whether she has masturbated.
      • some say the hymen can be broken by masturbation, some say no?.
      • Since the vaginal corona isn’t a brittle membrane, the sensation when you first stretch out the mucous tissue folds — whether you’re inserting a tampon, masturbating, or having insertive sex — is a highly individual experience.
      • “The mythical status of the hymen has caused far too much harm for far too long,” and the hymen has wrongly been “portrayed as the boundary between guilt and innocence.”
    • In your culture and religion, what defines virginity? An intact hymen or must there be sexual penetration by a male penis?
  • Can a seven year old break her hymen  lose her virginity from fingering herself
    • Yes she can break her hymen
    • The Facts: Most people agree that guys and girls lose their virginity the first time they have sex with another person. Even if a girl stretches her hymen masturbating, if she hasn’t had sex play with someone else, she is still a virgin.  teensource.org/masturbation
  • There are a number of things that can cause your hymen to tear or wear down. Certain physical activities and sports, for example, can stretch the membrane and cause it to thin.  This includes:
    • horseback riding
    • riding bicycles
    • climbing trees or jungle gyms
    • playing on obstacle courses
    • gymnastics
    • dancing
      • It’s also important to remember that not all vaginal penetration is sex!
      • Your hymen may also wear down during nonsexual forms of penetration, such as:
        • inserting tampons or menstrual cups
        • getting a Pap smear
        • getting a transvaginal ultrasound
        • Sometimes the hymen bleeds when it tears. The amount of blood will vary from person to person.
    • It’s also possible that you won’t bleed when your hymen tears, just as it’s possible that you won’t bleed the first time you have vaginal sex. Many people don’t. health line.com/#other-activities-cause-tearing

 

FAQ #Tampon

  • Can I lose my virginity by inserting a tampon?
    • No. Virginity is not something physical or medical. It’s a cultural idea, about which many people have different definitions and opinions. Concepts of virginity are sometimes linked with the idea that your vaginal opening is covered by a membrane, often referred to as the hymen, that is “broken” by vaginal sex.
    • The vaginal corona (also known as the hymen) consists of thin folds of mucous tissue located 1–2 centimeters just inside the vaginal opening (1). Anna Knöfel Magnusson of the RFSU (the Swedish Association for Sexuality Education) wrote about it in the booklet Vaginal Corona: Myths surrounding virginity:
    • “Every corona looks different, and differs in size, colour and shape. It is slightly pink, almost transparent, and may resemble the petals of a flower, a jigsaw piece or a half-moon. In the vast majority of cases, it is elastic and stretchy. Very rarely, the mucous tissue folds may cover the entire vaginal opening. In that case, it might be necessary to see a gynecologist and have the vaginal corona opened to release menstrual blood, to enable insertion of a tampon or penetrative sex.” —Anna Knöfel, Vaginal Corona: Myths surrounding virginity
    • The vaginal corona can be gradually diminished by basic daily physical activity, not just by inserting things (like tampons, menstrual cups, toys, or fingers) into the vagina. The hormonal changes that occur as people mature through puberty can also change the shape and flexibility of the vaginal corona (2).
    • Regardless of whether you use tampons or not, your vaginal corona (if you had one to begin with) will wear away over time. The anatomy and purpose of the vaginal corona is not very well understood, and more research is needed. helloclue.com/tampons-questions-and-misconceptions

#What is a Virgin?
How do I know if I’m a virgin or if a woman is a virgin?

#Definitions

Virginity mean that the person never engaged in sexual intercourse. See Wikipedia Virginity  & Sexual Intercourse  for more detail.

There are cultural and religious traditions like Traditional Judaism Talmud Summary – Old Testament  and the Zulu Tribe Virgin Reed Dance that does their own virginity testing to see if the woman qualifies. Some societies place special value and significance on this state, predominantly towards unmarried females, associated with notions of personal purity, honor and worth.

Like chastity, the concept of virginity has traditionally involved sexual abstinence. The concept of virginity usually involves moral or religious issues and can have consequences in terms of social status and in interpersonal relationships. Although virginity has social implications and had significant legal implications in some societies in the past, it has no legal consequences in most societies today.

The term virgin originally only referred to sexually inexperienced women, but has evolved to encompass a range of definitions, as found in traditional, modern and ethical concepts.  Heterosexual individuals may or may not consider loss of virginity to occur only through penile-vaginal penetration, The social implications of virginity still remain in many societies and can have varying effects on an individual’s social agency based upon location.

#Muslim Definition of Virginity 

 

Virginity testing:
a systematic review by USA National Institute of Health

  • The hymen, two-finger, or per vaginal examination, is the inspection of the female genitalia to assess if the examinee has had or has been habituated to sexual intercourse.
    • Wikipedia -two finger test – tests for laxity of vaginal muscles with fingers (the “two-finger test”). A doctor performs the test by inserting a finger into the female’s vagina to check the level of vaginal laxity, which is used to determine if she is “habituated to sexual intercourse”  See also webster.edu-virginity test
    • However, the usefulness of these criteria has been questioned by medical authorities and opponents of virginity testing because vaginal laxity and the absence of a hymen can both be caused by other factors, and the “two-finger test” is based on subjective observation

  • #Arguments Against

  • Conclusions
    • This paper is the first systematic review of available evidence on the medical utility of virginity testing by hymen examination and its potential impacts on the examinee.
    • Despite the lack of evidence of medical utility and the potential harms, health professionals in multiple settings continue to practice virginity testing, including when assessing for sexual assault. health professionals must be better informed and medical and other textbooks updated to reflect current medical knowledge.
    • Countries should review their policies and move towards a banning of virginity testing.
    • Our review found that virginity testing is not good at detecting who has not had sexual intercourse, and that it can hurt the person being tested – physically, mentally, and socially. Our hope is to make more people and countries aware of this to prevent harm to women and girls.  USA National Institute of Health *
    • VIDEO The hymen – A marker of virginity? DW.com   Is an intact hymen a sign of virginity in women?
      • No – that’s a myth that’s caused harm to young women the world over. DW explains how hymens come in different shapes and why it’s impossible to tell if a woman is a virgin by examining it.

      • The two-finger test also known as the PV (Per Vaginal) refers to an intrusive physical examination of a woman’s vagina to figure out the laxity of vaginal muscles and whether the hymen is distensible or not. In this, the doctor puts two fingers inside the woman’s vagina and the ease with which the fingers penetrate her are assumed to be in direct proportion to her sexual experience. Thus, if the fingers slide in easily the woman is presumed to be sexually active and if the fingers fail to penetrate or find difficulty in penetrating, then it is presumed that she has her hymen intact, which is a proof of her being a virgin.

        Virgin is a person who has had no previous sexual experience. Worldwide a great premium is attached to a woman’s virginity being a sign of her character and marriageability, so much so that women resort to whitening, tightening, reconstruction and other surgical interventions

      • to have that perfect vagina. There are also artificial hymens; prosthetics used to fake virginity, that are easily available online. Science has debunked the myth of an intact hymen being proof of a woman’s virginity. Moreover, sex doesn’t necessarily have to be vaginal. A woman can engage in oral or anal sex and still be considered a virgin in the traditional sense.  Read More from Dr. Vageshwari Deswal is an academician, author, feminist and activist working as Professor at Faculty of Law, University of Delhi.

Penetrated Sexually

Another definition of a virgin is a girl whose vagina has not been penetrated sexually. The problem with this definition is that there are different ways of penetration and definitions of “sex.”

For instance, one person might think that any penetration of the vagina equals sexual intercourse. * Other people restrict the definition of “sex” to penetration by the penis.

    • What definition of virginity does your culture and religion use?
  • Does oral sex count as sexual penetration?
    • It really depends on your culture, religion and personal beliefs, that is, the definition of virginity and sexual intercourse. Virginity is the state of a person who has never engaged in sexual intercourse. Sexual intercourse (or coitus or copulation) is sexual activity typically involving the insertion and thrusting of the penis into the vagina for sexual pleasure, reproduction, or both.[1] This is also known as vaginal intercourse or vaginal sex.
    • Other forms of penetrative sexual intercourse include anal sex (penetration of the anus by the penis), oral sex (penetration of the mouth by the penis or oral penetration of the female genitalia), fingering (sexual penetration by the fingers), and penetration by use of a dildo (especially a strap-on dildo).[4][5] These activities involve physical intimacy between two or more individuals and are usually used among humans solely for physical or emotional pleasure and can contribute to human bonding.There are different views on what constitutes sexual intercourse or other sexual activity, which can impact on views on sexual health. Although sexual intercourse, particularly the variant coitus, generally denotes penile–vaginal penetration and the possibility of creating offspring, it also commonly denotes penetrative oral sex and penile–anal sex, especially the latter. It usually encompasses sexual penetration, while non-penetrative sex has been labeled “outercourse”,[9] but non-penetrative sex may also be considered sexual intercourse.[4][10] Sex, often a shorthand for sexual intercourse, can mean any form of sexual activity. Because people can be at risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections during these activities, safer sex practices are recommended by health professionals to reduce transmission risk.
      wikipedia.org/Sexual_intercourse  Jewish Talmud in tractate Kesubos goes into the definitions extensively.

65 comments on “Hymen – Virginity?”

  5. My BF [boy friend] was penetrate me from anal while he was on the top of me and by mistake

    he only inserted the tip of his penis in my hymen for 1 cm and i moved out myself right a way and

    we both didn’t feel anything happened but then after a while I went to the bathroom and I was bleeding.

    I tried to check several times my hymen.

    And I can see that its there so how i can know that my hymen is still there or not?

    Reply

      • In my conservative Christian view, you have not been chaste and are no longer a virgin, no matter whether your hymen is intact or not; because you have voluntarily been naked and made out with your boyfriend, including anal penetration by mistake according to you. You are no longer a virgin regardless of the status of your hymen, so don’t waste your time checking. You want to check your hymen just in the hope that it is still intact and that you can deceive your next boyfriend. Do you honestly think your next boyfriend would see you as a pure virgin if he were to know what sexual activities you have already had with a man or men before him? So stop fooling yourself and future men.

  12. I am being concerned about my virginity especially since I live in an Islamic environment and this matter is considered really important.

    After an unintentional entrance while having sex, I cannot tell whether I’m still virgin or not. Knowing that there was no blood but the shape of the vagina has changed, I have no clue about the truth and I cannot visit a doctor because it would be a shame for my whole family if I did lost my virginity.

    I appeal to you sir, if you can provide some help please let me know I no longer want to keep being hunted by doubts as I’m getting close to the age of marriage (I’m 23 yo). The color of labia is a bit pale (I can send a picture if it’s necessary).

      It sounds to me like you did have a penis enter your vagina. Thus, in what I thought was the definition of virginity, you would no longer be one.

      Judaism in the Talmud talks about wood injury for various reasons for the hymen not being intact other than sexual intercourse.

      21st Century Medical Science does not seem to think that one can tell conclusively if a woman is a virgin by a physical exam.

      What country are you from?

      Is there some kind of inspection for women who are getting married?

      I’ve been searching for over 10 years to find a medically “approved” definition and photo’s of an intact or broken hymen and if that truly shows if one is a virgin.

      See above on the Muslim definition of virginity, which talks about an intact hymen, but apparently nothing about reasons for it breaking other than sexual intercourse.

      See above on virginity testing…the World Health Organization appears opposed too

  13. In the Islamic Republic it is illegal to execute a young woman, regardless of her crime, if she is a virgin, he explained. Therefore a “wedding” ceremony is conducted the night before the execution: The young girl is forced to have sexual intercourse with a prison guard – essentially raped by her “husband.” Source Wikipedia

      • Hi sir? is it possible to lose virginity if the sexual intercourse is not exact like the penis going in, but just in labia minora? it didn’t even enter in the vaginal opening.

          • The conception that occurs due to semen reaching the outer vaginal area (accidentally or intentionally) without intercourse is sometimes called a “splash pregnancy” or “virgin pregnancy.”

            As long as some semen makes its way to the vulva or vaginal areas, you have a chance of getting pregnant. If ejaculation can occur slightly inside of the vagina, that’s even better.

            It’s not clear how likely it is that conception will happen. Some studies of women with lifelong vaginismus have found that some had a child this way.4 But there are no studies looking at the odds of using this method to get pregnant. Very Well Family.com NKS.uk

          • We’re a live-in partner for 2yrs and 27 years old, but I’m not ready yet to give him my virginity because I wanted to give him if we’re already married. That’s why our way of sexual intercourse is his p*nis not yet allowed to enter but just on the outside, which is the labia minora. Is it possible to lose my virginity?

    • Painful intercourse (dyspareunia)

      Painful intercourse can occur for reasons that range from structural problems to psychological concerns. Many women have painful intercourse at some point in their lives.

      The medical term for painful intercourse is dyspareunia (dis-puh-ROO-nee-uh), defined as persistent or recurrent genital pain that occurs just before, during or after sex. Talk to your doctor if you’re having painful intercourse. Treatments focus on the cause, and can help eliminate or lessen this common problem.

  26. If a woman got pregnant without intercourse and facing a miscarriage within a month and is heavily bleeding so was her hymen intact or not?

    Reply

    • Researchers have studied a phenomenon called “virgin pregnancy” to understand why it would be reported. In a survey of 7,870 pregnant women, they discovered that 0.8 percent of the women (45 total) reported becoming pregnant without having vaginal sex. healthline.com

      ___________________________________________________________________

      What does bleeding from a miscarriage look like?
      Bleeding may start as light spotting, or it could be heavier and appear as a gush of blood. As the cervix dilates to empty, the bleeding becomes heavier.

      The heaviest bleeding is generally over within three to five hours from the time heavy bleeding begins. Lighter bleeding may stop and start over one to two weeks before it completely ends.

      The color of the blood can range from pink to red to brown. Red blood is fresh blood that leaves the body quickly. Brown blood, on the other hand, is blood that’s been in the uterus a while. You may see discharge the color of coffee grounds, or near black, during a miscarriage.

      Exactly how much bleeding you’ll experience depends on a variety of circumstances, including how far along you are and whether or not your miscarriage is progressing naturally.

      While you may see a lot of blood, let your doctor know if you fill more than two sanitary pads an hour for two or more hours in a row. healthline.com

      ________________________________________________________
      As far as an “intact hymen” please review everything on this page, the links and the Jewish Talmud on “Wood Injury” where a hymen might not be intact for many non penetrative sex reasons.

    • Considering how my research all points to the importance of virginity and questionable proofs, like an intact hymen, it may be that the question is, how to propose marriage.

  32. Wow, I found this very educative , I wish every man can can read this to get educated that a woman’s virginity can not only be proved when there’s blood spilled after sex as other factors can also break the hymen asides sexual intercourse.

    Also have heard of a marriage that scattered coz, the husband did not find any blood stain after having sex with the wife claiming that the wife has deceived him all along saying she was a virgin, well, the wife in the other hand still insisted she was a virgin.
    Probably, the wife was saying the truth 😭😭😭😭

  33. So the only best ways to test virginity is through

    lie detection,
    seeing your child already pregnant,
    counting the pads each time the menstural week comes around,
    examining virginal canal for foreign DNA and measuring male’s sperm quantity in the epididymis?

    Or just the secret remains between the person who did the act and a deity, the deity will be the final judge right?

    The future marriage partner of the person will know nothing of the secret engraved in the consciousness of the non virgin partner who was in a rush to sex (that destroyed the marriage vow faithfulness). Moreover, a secret of a past rape or incest unintentional will be in the bedroom, A secret liberated by sharing and understanding between parties.

    Romans 1:25 Intelligent Designer knows the secrets.
