A member asked:
What is a hymen? and is it possible to break it by inserting fingers into the vagina? and what's the point of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Membrane: It is a thin piece if vascular tissue, a result of body formation. It can easily be ruptured. Just as there is no point to an appendix, there is no point to the hymen, it's just there, a result of embryology.
