Can someone tell if I’m a virgin or not?

People used to believe you could tell if a girl was a virgin by looking to see if her hymen was torn. Most vaginas have a hymen. The hymen is a thin membrane that stretches partway over the opening to the vagina.

In some cultures, bleeding at first intercourse is still considered solid proof that a person is a virgin. But, we know a hymen can be torn as the body grows and develops. Bike riding or playing sports may also cause the hymen to tear. Some females are born without a hymen. Some are elastic and never tear, and some dissolve on their own. And, it’s very common for some people not to bleed at all the first time they have sexual intercourse.

It’s impossible for a doctor to examine someone and tell if they are a virgin. A lot of discussion about virginity is about girls. What about the guys? It is also impossible to tell if a guy is a virgin. Even a doctor can’t tell.
