Some things become true when they are said too much, poisoned by many early TV dramas, many people mistake the wrong demonstration as medical science, and even in the 21st century still believe in certain “feudal concepts”, such as the common ancient costume drama “falling red”, so they put The fact is that not every woman will bleed the first time!
Many men judge a woman’s virginity by whether she bleeds for the first time, thinking that a ruptured hymen must bleed, which is just plain wrong!
The hymen is medically known as the vaginal flap and is located at the division between the vestibule and the vaginal opening of a woman’s vagina.
To be precise, the vaginal flap is a legacy tissue, not a real membrane, it is like a piece of elastic “skin” with a 1cm hole in the middle, which means that the membrane is originally “broken” and during menstruation, menstrual blood is expelled through this hole. During menstruation, menstrual blood is expelled through this hole, and the shape of the vaginal flap is different for each woman.
Usually, bleeding during lovemaking is only possible if the vaginal flap (hymen) is small or closed in shape. If the vaginal flap is labial or umbrella shaped, with a larger aperture, there will be little or no bleeding during lovemaking.
In addition, before puberty, little girls have thin and fragile hymens due to lack of estrogen, which can easily break during this stage.
According to a survey of American gynecologists, 30% of women have no or very little bleeding the first time.
Therefore, there is no inevitable connection between the first time and hymen rupture and bleeding, and we should not be misled by the information in movies and dramas, it is unscientific and ignorant to rely on hymen and bleeding alone to judge “virginity” or not. Don’t let your “ignorance” hurt the person you love most.
