Am 21, have never had sex before but am afriad my hymen is broken and i might not be a virgin again due to maybe intense workout i dont know help!!! also i want to know how to check if my hymen is still in tact.. thks

There is more than one way a female can lose her hymen, without ever having intercourse. Like riding horses, and intense workouts like you said. But if you've never had sex, you are still a virgin; you will lose your virginity when you have sex for the first time, not before.

You could get a mirror, strip from the waist down, place the mirror between your legs and close to your body. Pull you knees as close to your chest as possible and also spread your legs as far as you can. It also helps to have a flashlight and direct the light to your body. If you can see a thin membrane covering your vaginal opening (even partially), you still have your hymen. It can be hard to see though. If you can't see any membranes, your hymen isn't there.

Even something as small as using tampons can wear away a female's hymen. After years of tampon usage, a girl/woman may not have her hymen but is still a virgin if she has not had sex.

I don't have my hymen anymore, from using tampons and riding horses for about 10 months, and I am still a virgin. Anything that stretches your hips out, like straddling a horse, or vigorous excersice can tear/wear out your hymen without you feeling anything or any visable signs.

I hope this helps you figure things out.
