breaking a hymen

Yes, I'd be inclined to agree with that.

So would I.


And I guess that these old threads are revived by new users, not because they come here and then find the thread, but because they search for the subject, finds the thread, and thus discover the forum and make a profile.



Apart from that, I consider virginity to be seriously over-rated.
 
In general, this is worth reading (about the physiological background)

But what about the bloody sheets and such, you ask? First, Anna Knöfel from the Swedish Association for Sexuality Education points out over at Scarleteen that the bleeding-during-first-intercourse is yet another facet of virginity mythology that we've accepted as a standard and unnerving feature of the female sexual experience. For many women -- 63 percent according to one small-scale survey -- losing their virginity was neither physically uncomfortable nor messy. Sex educators instead attribute bleeding during coitarche (aka "first sex") to what Michael Castleman at Psychology Today cringingly called "nonsensual, poorly lubricated, piston-like intercourse."

Ya, that was my experience as well.
 
Now you can fake it all with a fake hymen. They can implant a new one, even complete with fake blood. Big business in certain parts of the world where they prob still hang the sheets outside the morning after wedding. Just so mediaeval and quaint.
 

I think this is likely true. I had no bleeding the first time, no pain. Not that it was perfect; we were both virgins, and trying to use a condom, and it was awkward and to be honest, it wasn't clear to either of us when the deed was actually done for the first time. But we figured it out soon enough :).
