The inside of my head looks a bit like this

lacigreen:

did you know you can’t “POP your cherry”?  In this video i talk about:

what the hymen really is
how this myth is some sexist bullshit
and how to deal with your hymen the 1st time you have sex.

ALSO ALSO ALSO some hymens cover the whole vagina

this is called an imperforate hymen, it’s kind of a defect because the hymen starts off whole during fetal development and is meant to develop an opening. It’s a problem even without sex because of menstruation and discharge in general. People with this have to get a doctor to open it for them.

Also sometimes hymens have multiple small openings (again, can be dealt with by a doctor), or one big opening and one small one or something. Which, by the way, can stretch or tear from vigorous exercise. Hymens are just really really misunderstood beings.
