A member asked:
Why do people still believe in the hymen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What do you mean?: Virginity is considered very important in many cultures, thus the emphasis, by some, of bleeding after first time sex. Hymen is important to those who think it or virginity is important. Some women have a very underdeveloped hymen which may ot not rupture or bleed when they have sex the first time, or hymen had previously ruptured from tampon insertion. Who are we to judge others?
