A member asked:
Does the hymen stretch, or does it actually break?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both possible: There is considerable variability from hymen to hymen. Can be little more than a circular ridge, in which case it can be stretched without breaking or tearing. More commonly is similar in structure to the iris in the eye. This can tear or break when female loses her virginity but can also occur with tampon insertion, bicycle or horseback riding.
