UBB Code™ Images not permitted. [QUOTE]Originally posted by September: [QB] The thing is that there is no set medical definition for "virginity". The bit of skin that you are referring to, the hymen (or as it's now known, the corona) doesn't actually break the first time a woman has penis-in-vagina intercourse. Rather, it wears down slowly over time, and few women will still have an intact hymen by the time they have intercourse for the first time. So, as Karybu pointed out (and as you can also read up on in the article Andy linked you to), virginity has only a cultural meaning. Thus, it's entirely up to you how you want to define it.
