THE MYTH ABOUT FEMALE VIRGINITY
- Why most women won't bleed the first time they have s*x.
There's a very common myth in South and Central Asia (Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Afghanistan etc.) and Africa (Nigeria and many other nations ) that you can tell if a woman is a virgin, by whether or not she bleeds the first time she has s*x. There is zero truth in this. Not all women bleed the first time they have s*x, as I'll explain in this post. To understand why some women bleed and some don't, it's very important to understand what the h***n is. The h***n is a membrane that tends to cover part of the va**nal opening (it does not always block or cover the entire va**na, as some people mistakenly think). NOT ALL WOMEN HAVE A H***N. The h***n also differs from woman to woman - like all women have different heights and weights and features, all women also have different amounts and types of h***n. Some women have thick h***ns, some have very thin h***ns, and some women have NO h***ns at all. Some women have larger h***ns, some women naturally have a very little amount of h***n that covers only a small portion of their va**nal opening (and hence does not really get in the way, during first-time s*x). In addition to this, the h***n wears away on its own as you grow up. For most women, the h***n wears away on its own with exercise, bicycling, horseback riding -it can wear off with pretty much any other physical activity, even dancing! - or from using tampons when menstruating. Especially if the h***n is very small or thin, most of it tends to wear away on its own as a girl grows up. If a woman is born WITHOUT a h***n, she won't bleed the first time she has s*x. If a woman has a small or thin h***n, she might not bleed the first time she has s*x. If a woman's h***n has worn away on its own (which is very common as girls grow up), she won't bleed the first time she has s*x. The result is that the overwhelming majority -at least 63% of women - will NOT bleed the first time they have s*x, according to a study published by the British Medical Journal. Women who do bleed include: - Women with thick h***ns (who constitute a small percentage of the population) - Younger girls. Because the h***n wears away on its own with time, a 16-year old has a higher chance of bleeding than a 25-year old. By the time a girl is of or above the legal age of consent - 18, 20, 24 years of age, for example - most of her h***n is likely to have worn away on its own, meaning it's unlikely that she'll bleed a lot, if at all. However, even a young girl can be physically active, have a thin or small h***n, or have no h***n at all, meaning she might not bleed during first-time s*x. - Most often, women who bleed tend to be women who are dealt with roughly during s*x. If the guy forces himself inside the girl, when she isn't ready, relaxed or aroused enough, he is likely to cause injury or bleeding. Because most people think it's normal for women to bleed the first time they have s*x, they don't realize that this bleeding is a result of the woman having been hurt, and not of the h***n 'breaking.' Painful first-time s*x is generally because the woman is not relaxed or aroused enough, and gets hurt as a result; it is rarely ever because of the h***n breaking. The bottom line is that there is no way to assess female virginity. Bleeding does not have anything to do with virginity - it has to do with the kind of h***n a girl has, and h***ns differ from girl to girl from birth. The result is that only a small percentage of women bleed the first time! (Only 37% bleed during first-time s*x, according to the study published in the British Medical Journal.) Why is this so important to be aware of? Women all over the world get abused, injured and even killed due to the myth of 'virgin bleeding.' Because most people (men AND women) think that bleeding is a sign of virginity, women who don't bleed the first time have been divorced, suffered from suspicion leading to domestic violence and abuse, and even killed for honour. Educating people that a girl does not necessarily have to bleed the first time she has s*x - because not all girls have thick h***ns, and some are born with no h***n at all - is important because it can literally save lives. .
