Often to the question: " What is a virgin?" - you can get an answer based more on female physiology than on internal content. But the word "virginity" has one of the meanings of "innocence." And even in the physiological sense, the answer to the question: “What is a virgin?” should be based on its intactness and integrity. However, there are many nuances when purity, innocence and preservation of virginity are not identical concepts.
What is a virgin?
Considering the physiology of a woman, it should be noted the presence in her body of the so-called hymen - folds of the mucous membrane, which covers the entrance to the vagina. For a long time, it was believed that only females of a person can have a hymen. However, today scientists are convinced that chimpanzees, whales, manatees, horses and elephants have it. Nobody has yet been able to explain the functionality of the hymen. Therefore, it is generally accepted that virginity exists precisely in order to be able to verify the integrity of the female mammal and girl. Based on the foregoing, it is clear that a virgin is not always a young individual. Indeed, sometimes this happens in life that a woman, having lived to a very old age, for one reason or another did not enter into sexual contact with a man throughout her life, retaining her "innocence". They are called only "old maids."
Are virginity and innocence synonymous?
Many people believe that the preservation of the hymen indicates the integrity of the girl. Is it really? A virgin girl can “prove” her intactness to a partner during sexual intercourse, presenting him with blood stained lingerie. The partner himself at the moment of penetration into the vagina can also feel some obstacle. But this still can not serve as a complete proof of the purity and fidelity of the girl. Today, there are clinics where, for a certain bribe, they "restore virginity", that is, the entrance to the vagina is sutured. Some girls, knowing a sinner behind them, but wanting to fool their partner, use douching with acidic water before contact, which creates a feeling of a light barrier in a man at the moment of penetration. In order for drops of blood to remain on the bedding, it is enough for her to quietly pick out an old sore, prick or cut herself during sex. And some of the dissolute girls and even before marriage are actively practicing anal or oral sex. But at the time of the "wedding night" they have a hymen in complete safety. But is it possible to call such a girl pure and untouched?
I don’t give a damn, so the girl already had sexual contact?
This question worries many young people. It turns out that the presence or absence of hymen - an indicator of purity and innocence is not at all one hundred percent. There are physiological abnormalities such as the congenital absence of hymen (this is the second name for hymen). It does not affect any of the functions of the body: neither sexual nor reproductive. And some young virgins have such an elastic hymen that it does not break during contact, which can mislead a partner. Not so rare are cases when the hymen is found completely intact only at the very moment of birth. Sometimes there are such childhood injuries that can interfere with the entrance to the vagina. And at the first sexual intercourse the hymen does not break ... A man can accuse his beloved of infidelity, profligacy - and will be wrong. So what is a virgin? This is a girl who, by hook or by crook, has kept (or restored) a hymen, or just a clean, modest and faithful girl, regardless of whether she has a hymen or not? Let every man draw conclusions for himself.
