Common myths about the loss of innocence

There is a huge number of myths that are associated with the girl's first sexual experience, that is, with the loss of virginity . Invented them clearly people who do not understand this issue at all.

1. With age, the thickness of the hymen increases, which means that loss of virginity will be accompanied by strong pain.

This is not true, because the thickness, size and density of the hymen for each girl is individual. Therefore, believe this myth is not worth it.

2. You can start having sex from the age of 14-15.

The hymen functions as a barrier between the female genital organs and the environment. This means that it prevents the entry of various infections into the internal sexual organs, until there is formed a microflora that will protect the female body. Until the age of 18, it is not recommended to have sex, because during intercourse the vagina can be traumatized because of a thin layer of epithelium. Such damage can contribute to the emergence of various inflammatory processes, as well as infertility .

3. Late initiation of sexual relations is harmful to health.

Many girls believe that the pimples on her face appeared due to the fact that she is still a virgin, but this is not so. All the blame for hormones, which are not related to the presence of a hymen. Very often, the appearance of acne and headache is affected by mental disorders.

4. You should only go to a gynecologist when you begin to have sex.

This is a wrong opinion. The first time for a consultation with a gynecologist is to come in 7-8 years. The doctor will conduct an examination and make conclusions about the health of the girl.

5. The rupture of the hymen is always accompanied by pain and bleeding.

If the intimacy occurs with a person who really likes, and the girl is well excited, the appearance of pain is reduced to a minimum. And at the expense of blood, everything is individual and depends on the thickness of the hymen and the number of blood vessels in it. There are cases when during the first sexual contact the rupture of the hymen may not occur, because due to its plasticity it simply stretches.

6. The first sex should occur with a man who is older and has experience.

So categorically you can not say, but an experienced partner is better than a beginner. The age of a man does not matter in sex.

7. Virginity is best to lose in the bathroom.

As you know, warm water acts on a person relaxing, reduces nervous tension and reduces pain, but this does not apply to first sex. Water flushes the natural lubrication of the vagina, and this is an obstacle to soft penetration.

8. During the first sex, it is better not to use a condom.

Modern production of condoms uses new technologies and special lubricants. Due to this, the final product turns out to be thin, and the used lubricant improves the sliding, so for the first sex it is better not to give up the condom.

9. During the first sex it is impossible to conceive.

Girls who believe in this myth, after the first sex find that they are pregnant. The egg is ready for fertilization, when the girl turns 11-12 years old and even the presence of the hymen does not interfere with this process. Therefore, always think about protection, even during the first sex.

It is not necessary to believe any fairy tales invented by incompetent people do not understand why. For advice on this matter it is better to contact your mother or go to a doctor, and you do not need to listen to more experienced girlfriends. If you love your boyfriend and everything happens by mutual desire, and you are really ready for this step, then you need not be afraid, but just trust your body and partner.
