A member asked:

I have a microperforate hymen.i went to a gyno and he said it shouldn't worry me right now.but i want to have sex and i can't tell it.can i break it??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Interesting question: The hymen is a thin membrane in most virginal women and will tear during penetrating sex (with discomfort) in most cases, micro-perforate or not. A gyno can perform a procedure that opens the hymen surgically.
