Hy-what???

I AM SO SICK OF HEARING ABOUT WOMEN AND THEIR HYMENS! There is no such thing. Ok, there is such a thing, but in reference to it proving virginity there is no such thing. If you believe that your hymen is what proves your virginity and that you will bleed the first time you have sex then I am sorry to say you are wrong. Just wrong. I couldn't say it any better than this-"In late 2005 Monica Christiansson, former maternity ward nurse and Carola Eriksson, a PhD student at Umeå University announced that according to studies of medical literature and practical experience, the hymen should be considered a social and cultural myth, based on deeply rooted stereotypes of womens' roles in sexual relations with men. Christiansson and Eriksson support their claims by pointing out that there are no accurate medical descriptions of what a hymen actually consists of. Statistics presented by the two show that fewer than 30% of all women who have gone through puberty and have consensual intercourse bleed the first time. Christiansson has expressed an opinion that the use of the term "hymen" should be discontinued and that it should be considered an integral part of the vaginal opening."
There is a ton of literature out there that consistently proves this point, so please if you do not believe me then look for yourself.
What prompted this outburst? This.
