A member asked:
Can you explain if it's possible to break your hymen before hitting puberty?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Some women are born with no hymen, a limited wide shelf like hymen or lose it through childhood trauma, self sex, or other event. Those with the typical intact hymen will have it broken during penetrating intercourse.
