Question

and how does it "break?" or whatever. once it does, how will you know?

thank you before hand for answering my pathetic, silly question...

Answer 1

ok a hymen is like a part of your body that breaks when you loose you virginity... you'll know when you get laid i guess lol

Answer 2

I don't know.

Why don't you just GOOGLE it? Sorry for being rude but eh, this kinda freaked me out.

Answer 3

hymen is your virginity

and it breaks when you get penetrated in your v****a , it breaks when you have s*x ... with a man ... a pennis ?  you know ? thats what is going to break it . it hurts and bleeds sometimes .

Answer 4

The hymen is a thin layer of skin that surrounds the opening to the v****a.  It doesn't completely close off the opening to the v****a (the v****a is on the inside of the body) because there is an opening big enough to allow the menstrual blood to come out once a girl has started having her periods.

As for how it breaks it can do so if someone falls such as off their bike if they ride a bike.  It can also be broken during an exam at the doctor's office for some women (this happened to me).

Once mine broke how I knew is when I was able to stick the tube for medication such as for yeast infection in easier.  I could also tell by looking at the area in the mirror.  Some women know if they get a bit of bleeding (this will be different from menstrual bleeding).

Answer 5

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hymen

Hymen: a thin membrane that surrounds the opening to a young woman's v****a. Hymens can come in different shapes. The most common hymen is shaped like a half moon. This shape allows menstrual blood to flow out of a girl's v****a.

The hymen (also called maidenhead) is a fold of mucous membrane which surrounds or partially covers the external vaginal opening. Its name comes from the ancient Greek for "hymenaeus," which means "vaginal-flap." It was also the name for the Greek god of marriage, later also the Greek god of membranes; "Hymenaios.It forms part of the v***a, or external genitalia. An English slang term is "cherry", as in "popping one's cherry" (losing one's virginity). However, it is not possible to confirm that a woman or post-pubescent girl is not a virgin by examining the hymen.. In cases of suspected rape or sexual abuse, a detailed examination of the hymen may be carried out; however, the condition of the hymen alone is often inconclusive or open to misinterpretation, especially if the patient has reached puberty.The most common formation of the hymen is crescentic or crescent-shaped, although several other formations are possible.After a woman gives birth she may be left with remnants of the hymen called carunculae myrtiformes or the hymen may be completely absent.

Answer 8

First off, I am a guy... sorry.

A hymen is a piece of skin partially covering the opening of a v****a

Due to the increasingly active lifestyle of many young women today, as opposed to say the 1950's, the hymen is often times penetrated (broken) before any loss of virginity takes place.

you'll know when it breaks

not a pathetic or silly question dear

Answer 9

a hymen is a thin flexible piece of tissue that goes in the v****a towards the actual uterus. it is popped usually the first time you have s*x, or other times during your life [such as if you were a gymnist, horseback rider, etc]

To be honest i never knew that mine 'popped.'

Answer 10

it's a thin piece of skin that is in your v****a where the p***s goes, not where you pee from. it gets broken by masturbation or a tampon for most girls. some have it still when they lose their virginity and thats when it breaks. for some girls it feels like a little pinch, their might be a spot of blood. most likely you wont even notice. it might already be broken and you wouldn't even know!

the hymen isn't anything important. you are still a virgin even if your hymen is broken. you are a virgin untill you ahve s*x

Answer 11

It's a stretch of skin inside your vaj. Some people break it during s*x, others have it broken while doing vigorious exercise, horse-riding or when they have their period. (Most of the time, it's broken before the person has s*x.)

Really, it's like having your period. So yours could have been broken already, but you haven't even noticed.

Answer 12

a hymen is part of your v****a.

it can break when starting to have sexual intercourse

for example f you finger yourself there is a chance if your young you can break it.

hope i helped :P

hymen, is what some refer to ask a girls "cherry"  it breaks a lot of ways, it can break if your very active, is you fall on your crotch, a tampon, and during s*x. some girls have very thin hymens, and wont feel it break, others have thicker ones that it will hurt when it breaks. when it breaks it sometimes bleeds, which can just be a little blood, or a lot, depends on you.

Answer 16

it's ok

i think it something like a ring on the outter part of your....v***** and breaks if something too big goes in there and rips it

Answer 17

Hehe. All I know is it breaks when you lose your virginity. I hope thats right...lol

Answer 18

Im sorry but this question made me laugh cause the word Hymen sounds funny!

It is a piece of skin near the Va Jay-jay. It doesnt actually 'snap' or anything, but it like, tears a bit. In a magazine it says it shouldnt sting much (or not at all) cause theres not many pain receptors in that piece of skin. It can break when you lose your virginity, but doesnt have to. It will most likely bleed, but not much.

If you are active and do a bit of sports, it wouldve most likely already been broken. It doesnt have to break - it can just stretch. Either is normal.

Answer 19
