The Hymen & Other Misconceptions About Virginity [148]

Intimate Covenant Podcast

In this episode, Matt & Jenn discuss the hymen -- facts and fiction -- as well as other misconceptions about the concept of virginity.

1. There is no “virginity test.” The presence, absence, or any other physical appearance of a hymen is not a reliable indicator of a woman’s previous sexual activity. The same is true for vaginal bleeding or pain with initial sexual experience. Every women has a different experience.
2. “Virginity” does not determine someone’s worth as a person or as a future spouse.
3. While the ideal is that a person refrain from premarital sex, a person’s current sexual attitudes and behaviors are far more important than their past.
