Is it better to break your hymen on your own or have it break during sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complex answer: Great variability with hymens. Some leave a large vaginal opening & do not even tear/break during sex. Most are a thin "iris type" membrane & pain or discomfort is mild. A few hymens can be quite thick and rigid or only have a minute opening so that penetration can be impossible. Such uncommon, anatomy is best treated by a gyn dr. By age 49 most women have had speculum exam & is < than a penis.
