HYMEN AND VIRGINITY
This is the mysterious body part that is lost by young girls
when they have sexual intercourse for the first time. Few
people have ever seen what this fragile object looks like.
It took us half a year until we were able to find our first
willing virgin. We were able to take good quality pictures
of her, using a special photo technique. You will see not
only pictures of her genital organ, but of the HYMEN itself!
A girl who has never
had sexual intercourse (a virgin) is supposed to have
her hymen intact. In many
societies, a girl’s virginity until marriage is considered
a great virtue. For a girl who possesses such chastity,
getting married becomes easy.
The hymen is a fleshy, thin membrane, which
partially closes the mouth (entrance) of the vagina. It
has a central opening, which may be rounded or elongated.
Usually a finger can be introduced through the opening without
breaking the hymen. This opening is necessary in order to
let out the menstrual flow from uterus.
Sexual problems, irrespective of the causative
factors, frequently cause serious psychological problems
such as hostility between the marital partners and even
complete breakdown of the marriage itself.

When the girl has sexual intercourse, the hymen is stretched and ruptured
by the erect penis. This may be accompanied by some discomfort and bleeding.
Apart from sexual intercourse the following also can cause rupture to
the hymen:
1. An accident or injury, such as falling astride on a projecting substance,
trying to climb over a fence and tripping
2. Sports activities like horse riding, bicycling, playing seesaw, high
jump, and hurdles and activities like dancing
3. Masturbation, especially when indulged with a large foreign body
like candlestick or vibrator
4. Introduction of instruments by doctors during examination or surgical
operation
5. Faulty technique while douching (cleaning) the vagina. The rubber
or plastic tube introduced into the vagina to let in the douching solution
can lead to hymen rupture.
It now becomes clear to us that a girl with the ruptured hymen is not
necessarily unchaste.
