I'm rather over due for a pap test, but my first and only experience was just... awful for me, mentally. I was and am a virgin. There's been masturbation here and there, but not penetration. I use tampons and I used to ride horses. Not to mention I was a rough and tumble kid. So. Here's my dilemma:
After we did the wonderful pap test, my doctor asks me when I started to have sex. I was confused, because I had already told her that I didn't, so I say "I haven't." She looks at me again, this is the part that made me uncomfortable, the sheer condescending disbelief. "When did you have sex?" So I tell her again, I have not. She then says "You are not a virgin." Just thinking about it makes me cry :p Just the humiliation and confusion and the look she was giving me like I was hiding some massive secret or that I was an id**t. Anyways, she goes on to list that 'masturbation' can be the cause, and some other things like childhood curiousity, because, really, I only know of tampons ever being inserted.
I'm not going back to her for my test, but what I really want to know is how can doctors tell if you're a virgin? I've been trying to find an answer and, unless you recently had sex, the doctor can't really tell unless your hymen is still intact. However, a lot of hymens break despite not having sex from various things. Ugh. Can anyone just ease my mind?

You are a virgin!
You are a virgin until you have penetrative sexual intercourse. As soon as a penis enters your vagina, you are no longer a virgin.
Masturbation can not cause you to lose your virginity.
You can not tell by inspection whether a female is a virgin or not. Even an intact hymen is not proof of virginity
There are some cultures where the intact hymen is considered proof of virginity, but as you have correctly stated, the hymen can be ruptured by means other than intercourse. Maybe that's where the doctor is coming from.
Some cannot believe that anyone past puberty is not sexually active!
Some can earn more by testing sexually active women.
I had a consultation with a female doctor at a hospital who did not understand the workings of my male reproductive organs!!
So, the problem is the doctor, not you.
Hope this helps.
