since they could no longer make a fetish of that thing.

but yeah, that's the only response I could make.

you've been able to get the support you need to heal.

Best wishes.

And should be part of sex education curriculum

i.e. I wonder how many women had a considerate partner their first time. I sure didn't.

My first time was with someone twice my age (I was 19). No bleeding, but no full penetration until the third time. I think there are some people who just get off on the educational aspect of initiating virgins (either sex), as a way of re-experiencing that sense of discovery that you can only have once for yourself.

I hope this information becomes more widely known.

Here I am middle-aged, and I didn't know I still had a hymen.

I love Laci.

Estrogen fuels most of a woman's physiological changes during puberty.

The point is thar it isn't supposed to hurt, and you're not supposed to bleed.

for intercourse, and it's usually not something mechanical during intercourse that causes the change.
Likewise the lack of enough estrogen during puberty or maybe even the change that occurs after menopause can be a cause for pain.

Do you want to start a thread about estrogen? Cause that has nothing to do with the hymen.

This is getting... weird.

Or is it more in line with your first answer, that the whole female body is influenced by estrogen. And there is no need to focus on the hymen ?

One thing that always stuck with me about hymen was this piece of information, that's why I was really expecting something on estrogen.

This OP is about the hymen.

And this subthread is now officially creepy.
