Doctors weigh in on the various ways one can determine whether or not their hymen is intact.
Of all the ways to describe your first time, popping your cherry is probably the most archaic (and yes, graphic). It refers to the theory that your hymen (the thin tissue at the opening of your vagina) breaks during sex, which might cause bleeding (hence the red color of the cherry). But how do you know if you popped your cherry or not? Especially when, newsflash, whether one's hymen is or is not intact is not an indication of one's sexual history as there are multiple ways a hymen can tear that have nothing to do with intercourse.
While it's considered a bit antiquated these days, the expression “ to pop your cherry” dates way back to the '70s , Dictionary.com reported. (Although the usage of cherries with a sexual connotation goes even further back to the 1600s.) The said fruit in question is supposed to represent a woman’s vagina , and it’s definitely a slang term you wouldn’t want to use in mixed company.
“The hymen is a tissue remnant from when the vagina forms during embryonic development,” OB/GYN Dr. Lauren Demosthenes, MD, tells Romper in an email. “It has no purpose at all.”
So it’s a body part you can do without, in case you were wondering. And that myth that your "cherry gets popped" the first time you have sex? Well, that’s also incorrect — most of the time. “If it hasn't broken from vigorous normal activity (and some women have firmer tissue than others), it may be broken at first intercourse,” OB/GYN Dr. Mary Jane Minkin , MD, explains to Romper. “But to be honest, that happens rarely these days.”
So if you’re unsure about the state of your own hymen, here are some ways to know for sure.
If you experience a tear or a rip of your hymen, chances are you’re going to bleed. But unlike blood you’d see during your period, the rupture of the hymen will make you bleed differently, OB/GYN Dr. Kim Langdon , MD, tells Romper. “Bleeding after a hymen tears would be bright red rather than the darker hue of menstrual blood,” explains Dr. Langdon. “Without pressure or spontaneous clotting, the bleeding would continue to be bright red.” So if you’re bleeding (and don’t have your period), you should take a look to see what color your blood is. If it’s bright, it might mean that your hymen has torn.
By the time you’re a teen, chances are that your hymen already tore. Still, if you’re unsure, you can always take the Tampon Test. “The hymen usually breaks on its own during childhood,” says Dr. Demosthenes. “Most young women only have remnants of the hymen; occasionally we will see a young teen who can’t get her tampon in and will discover that she has part of the hymen in the way.” If your tampon glides right into place, you probably don’t have your hymen acting as a barrier to block it.
While Aunt Flo coming to town might not be fun each month, the fact that you’re getting your period is actually a very good sign. “If a woman is having a period, then her hymen is gone enough for the blood to flow out,” explains Dr. Demosthenes. “But if you have an intact hymen and begin to bleed, the blood will back up and you will present with bad pain.” Yikes. And if blood backing up into your vag weren’t scary enough, it could get worse, Dr. Langdon says. “Sometimes, an imperforate hymen can cause the blood to even build up enough to enlarge the uterus.”
“It’s obvious by exam,” says Dr. Langdon. “The hymen can be seen during the routine exam position — it can be partially intact or hymenal remnants can be seen.” Getting confirmation from your gynecologist can clear matters up quickly.
So, here’s the thing about the belief that you "pop your cherry" the first time you have sex. It’s not always true, although it sometimes might be. To be honest, it’s kind of complicated. “It is a myth that the hymen breaks the first time a person has intercourse,” says Dr. Lauren Demosthenes. See, the hymen is a springy little sucker, and while the chances are highly likely that if it hasn’t broken before you have sex that it will break during intercourse, it’s not an automatic guarantee. “Virginity cannot be determined by an exam because the hymen is stretchy and can accommodate a penis and then fall back into place,” says Dr. Langdon.
Case in point. In the study: “ The little tissue that couldn’t — dispelling myths about the Hymen’s role in determining sexual history and assault ,” researchers found that an intact or broken hymen wasn’t an accurate indicator of a woman’s sexual activities . They cited the hymen as “not an accurate or reliable test of a previous history of sexual activity.” While chances are penetration (or even some sex toys) can rupture your hymen, it’s not always the case. In theory, then, you might be able to have sex, and still have your hymen intact, depending on its density.
You’ve been doing a lot of strenuous activity when you suddenly feel a pinch in your lady parts. Has your hymen been disturbed? Well, there’s one way to find out. If you’re not afraid to do some digging, you can check yourself to see if it’s still there. “A woman could look with a mirror and try to insert a tampon or her finger to see what she sees,” says Dr. Demosthenes. And while you might be able to feel the hymen (or lack thereof), “it’s only possible if you know what you’re feeling for,” says Dr. Langdon.
There are a myriad of ways that you can "pop your cherry," and few, if any, actually involve intercourse. Some girls are even born without a hymen , according to that same study. Still, if you experience pain or bleeding that’s not associated with your period, you should always speak with your doctor about it.

The Anchorage School District’s policy states parents may opt their child out of sex education and that the curriculum is to be sent out to you two weeks before the class is taught.
Yet a parent notified Must Read Alaska that she had opted her children out of sex education, and they still ended up attending a class.
Another parent notified Must Read Alaska that students at Dimond High School are being subjected to what many would consider sexual grooming in its sex education classes. The students were paired up boy-with-girl to ask each other very intimate sexual questions. The teacher teaches this course to grades 9-12.
The boy-girl pairs were to pretend these were speed-dating questions. These questions didn’t ask speed-date questions like what you like to do for fun, what’s your favorite movie, or where do you want to go in your life,
These were questions included: “How do I use a female condom?”; “Does the size of a guy’s foot really predict his penis size?” “How can I prevent premature ejaculation?” “What does popping the cherry mean?” “What is cunnilingus?”
There are many more even sordid questions most would never think about asking another student.
This particular teacher even shows dildos in the classroom. Is this what Anchorage taxpayers are paying for?
It may be somewhat “educational”, but many parents would question if it is appropriate.
Parents need to ask for the “course syllabus” in their student’s sex-ed classes so they can opt their student out of these classes. Ask to see the lesson plan.
Parents, keep an eye on your students and ask them to bring sex education materials home for your review.
The Dimond High School students were admonished that there should be no pictures taken in the classroom, but some pictures have made their way into social media. The Dimond High School administrators had to do something.
The Dimond High School assistant principal sent out an email to staff stating that the above content was well within curricular expectations and expectations outlined in the course syllabus.
This is one more example of the sexual grooming of our students.
Parents and students have the legal right to opt out of sex education classes per AS 14.03.016. The ASD has even put this state law into its guidelines for teachers and administrators. These state that the district must notify parents of not less than two weeks prior to the teaching and presentation of sex education, human reproductive education and human sexuality education and provide for the objection to and withdrawal of a student from such activities.
Parents, you have the power and the right to determine if your child should be subject to this. You can reach the Anchorage School Board at the email address: schoolboard@asdk12.org
Superintendent Jharrett Bryantt can be reached at: officeofthesuperintendent@asdk12.org .

As a former ASD employee, if we were told by ASD to ask our fellow employees these very same questions, it would fall under sexual harassment! There would be lawsuits filed! This goes beyond the pale of sex education. This is sexual abuse of our most innocent. ASD are not even allowing them to set safe boundaries by requiring them to ask fellow peers these horrific questions in class. Questions that I as an adult even find troubling. This is Horrific abuse of our greatest treasures…Our Children!
Exactly, I endured many classes through my career and far less direct language was verboten.
I find it very interesting that we keep referring to high school students as children. They are firmly young adults. They are curious. Giving these young people some answers to largely slang terms, rumors, and assumptions is a much healthier way to actually learn about these things, and the new consequences of unprotected sex.
Say what you will, but learning about sex is necessary, and skipping the bit about how they should protect themselves is part of that. As the parent of two teens, I know they will do what they want, regardless of their parents wishes. We all remember a certain governor’s daughter and her before marriage baby. Maybe by taking the mystery out of it, we can actually empower our young adults to make better decisions.
Asking those questions at work is the definition of sexual harassment.
Those are things that should be taught to kids by their parents, not by strangers who are far too intensely interested in sex and your children…..
While your statement that these things “should be taught by parents,” the reality is that most parents
don’t teach these things. The result is kids become young adults without this knowledge, other than what they pick up from their friends.
What’s the odds their friends have the correct knowledge?
So that’s what’s wrong with you. No sex Ed in school. You can go to night school to catch up.
You just make things up as you write Mark? First of all, nothing wrong with me and I had sex Ed starting in 8th grade. And at 78 years young, I also don’t need any catching up.
You must be speaking for yourself? Heheh!
How the hell would you know what “most” parents teach their kids??
Worst (and most common) excuse given for the sexualization of our kids.
Any adult who talks to other peoples children about these things are boarder-line pedophiles. And should be called out as such.
Yes… teens are curious. They want to learn what slang terms mean. They want to experiment and engage in sexual behavior. I was there, I remember it will. I also remember not getting told the NC-17 details when I was in 9th grade or younger.
.
There is a world of difference between a clinical discussion of sexual intercourse, birth control, and STD prevention, and talking about how often a girl can orgasm, or predicting how well hung a guy is based on size of extremities.
.
So, I agree in part. Teach them about sex, sure… Keep the NC-17 content out of it.
ASD staying focused on the important topics. Not wasting effort on reading and math. Good job! /sarc
These questions are the same ones that were actual jokes discussed in the boy’s bathrooms and locker rooms 35 years ago. Is this progress?
Probably most of the students already know the answers to those questions. They may not be aware of the correct terminology but it surprises me that they use correct terminology on some of the things and slang for the others. At least they got the boy on girl part right so Anchorage School district is improving at least on one thing.
Just curious what is required of this site’s education writer?
I believe Betty White said something like “my muffin hasn’t had a cherry on it since 1939.”
Boyle wants young adults to learn their sex education in the gutter where it belongs. Heheh!
I’m curious: you a grad of AK public education)
I’m a grad of public education but not in AK. Also have BA and MS from a college and university.
I have two kids who graduated from combination of home school and public education in AK that are both quite successful (by the way).
I’m never impressed by people who list the number of degrees they have. Especially when not listing what the degree is and where it came from.
It’s telling, however. Usually it’s insecure liberals trying to project an unearned superiority. I asked you a single question, not for your family resume.
Its often the case the smartest people I’ve ever met with the most common sense are tradesmen with zero college behind them.
You didn’t get a family resume either MA. The rest of your screed is nothing but gibberish.
Agree totally there Avenger. What the degree is in IS more important than the degree. But, leftists (please do not call them liberals, there is nothing liberal about them) will cite the BA/MA/PHD, or whatever as if that matters. Besides, a degree in the Arts (that is the A in BA and MA) generally means useless.
.
I also note that Yankee replies, but does not mention the field of study. Curious. (Well, not curious at all, because Bill seems to think having the letters is important, not the knowledge.)
In case you or MA don’t know an MS degree is master of science. Further, I will add now since a few on here seem to think it’s important-both my degrees were in mathematics (and applied math at that).
Now MA objected that I gave him/her too much information and you (CB) complain that I didn’t give enough. Go ahead and bitch some more about what you don’t like about my comment.
Tough noogies to you both (by the way). Nothing but a couple of crybabies.
I’ve always found that many the most “educated” to be woefully lacking in any kind of common sense. Reason and logic seem to evaporate with those degrees as well.
Bill – hmm, I would have never thought you were a college graduate. I guess it just goes to show you!
You don’t say why. My guess is you are uneducated. Heheh!
I know perfectly well that MS is master of science. That does not change my statement at all. An arts degree is generally useless. At no point did I say your MS was not useful.
.
Why do you read something that I did not write?
.
Also, I notice you completely ignore the point of my agreement with Avenger. Leftists just love to talk about how well educated they are because they have these degrees. But, when they neglect to mention what the degree is in, it makes me think it is in a useless field that has zero value in the job market. Meaningless degrees impress no one.
All you’ve got here is an enormous whine about nothing. And frankly, you agreed little with Avenger as he/she whined about my giving too much information and you whined that I gave too little.
The two of you are nothing but bit whiners with little to whine over. Oh, and do you think mathematics is a useless field that has zero value in the job market? Heheh!
Tough noogies to you both.
More perversion in our schools and we the tax payers are forced to pay for it.
Yes and look what bill learned. Nothing
This is why parents need to pull their kids out of public schools. I understand that for many families this would be a great sacrifice in the form of private school tuition or the lost income of one parent, but is there any more worthy cause than your own children?
Your right on groups should create and run their own learning program.
My questions are Who wrote this book on Sex Education and who approved it for ASD ?the ASD policy states parents may opt their child out of sex ed curriculum and curriculum is to be sent out 2 weeks before class is taught. How is this curriculum being sent out? If it is given to students to have their parents sign I say Not. as I have had students sign their own paperwork and then parents call to scream about their students attendance.{ Some Students will sign their parents names if given the opportunity } Another question is: Who is training these teachers to teach the curriculum. If this is sent out on e mail, do all parents have computers. This whole thing is Pathetic. I say teach the curriculum to parents and let them decide whether they want it taught to their students.
Once again, this is a very self inflicted wound, Anchorage.
You keep re-electing progressives into the school board, you don’t bother to go to PTA or school board meetings, and most of you never really bothered to look into what your kids were being taught until Covid.
The school system is giving you exactly what you told them you’d be ok with.
The power to change this is and always has been in your hands. But you’ve gotta actually DO something.
The problem is the School Board Election is Muni wide not by districts as it should be. The only way you will effect change is change the way the vote is taken and counted. But remember Joseph Stalin said it best ” It is not who votes but who counts the votes”
You’re correct.
I am guilty of what you describe. I just always trusted that our schools were teaching our kids HOW to think and not WHAT to think.
I know better now. Yes the school boards are where we fix this. Just like much of the country is all ready doing.
Groomers. It’s all about desensitizing and normalization of “those” particular topics.
Keep that to the parents.
School is for the three R’s
i remember in my highschool along with the basics I also had woods, welding, typing, foods.
We need desperately to get back to that.
“It’s all about desensitizing and normalization of “those” particular topics.”
It is even more insidious than that.
.
It is about destroying the conventional relationship between parent and child, and replacing it with a relationship with the all powerfu
