if your hymen is broken does that mean you're not a virgin?

A virgin technically is someone who has not had sexual intercourse. So if a penis has not penetrated your vagina, then you are technically still a virgin (whatever the state of your hymen). Equally, if a penis did penetrate your vagina but failed to rupture your hymen, then you are technically no longer a virgin.

In many cultures, an intact hymen is seen as proof of virginity, and the ruptured hymen would indicate loss of virginity. So for some people, the fact that your hymen is ruptured, you would be considered a non-virgin. However, the hymen can be ruptured by means other than by sexual intercourse.

I hope this helps

Hi I am 14 and have done a lot of bike riding and have used a tampon twice to go swimming and during this my hymen bags broken. does this mean that I am no longer a virgin? Does this mean that I will now have a saggy who ha? I am probably to young to be thinking about this but I am just curious thank you. Also will it grow back? Will people think that I have had intercourse that I haven't as it is broken? I hope not because I havent!

Hello I am 14 and have a ruptured hyman. I have never had intercourse not do I masturbate etc! I have used tampons twice and ride my bike quite often. Does this mean I am not a virgin? I am quite confused.
