Hymens and Partner Pressure

Unread post by Sam W »

Hi Juste8,

So, for your question about the hymen, this article is a really good place to start: My Corona: The Anatomy Formerly Known as the Hymen & the Myths That Surround It

Going along with that, virginity is a sticky concept. Because it's not really a concrete thing, but instead is something that different people define in different ways. So, what one person counts as losing their virginity, another person may not. Does that make sense?

I am concerned with the fact that it sounds like you didn't want to engage in these activities with your boyfriend. Him pressuring you into it is absolutely not okay. Can you tell me a little more about how he pressured you?
