    "Morality is worst interpreted by anatomy."

    Disagree. I have a vagina, Eve had a vagina, therefore I'm responsible for Original Sin. I say that morality is easiest interpreted by anatomy. #fakehymen

    Upmarket brothels in 18th Century London were notorious for selling the rejuvenated maidenhead of the latest young beauty, fresh from the country, to as many gullible men as possible before the latter cottoned on that the woman in question was not a virgin and therefore did not merit the special financial premium attached to an unbroken hymen. #fakehymen

    I didn't bleed the first time I had sex and sometimes I think about how fucked I would be if I was born in another culture. #fakehymen

    @Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: Hell, I was born in the US and my first boyfriend accused me of lying when I didn't bleed our first time (the best part was that the reason I didn't was he had ALREADY broken it when we were fooling around one night but he was drunk and apparently didn't remember/notice) #fakehymen

    @colormeroutine: My friend's ex boyfriend accused her of the same thing and then used that as justification for emotionally shaming her and referring to her as a "whore." All in all, I'm not so sure that American culture has moved that far from associating morality with an in-place hymen. #fakehymen

    @Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: I didn't bleed either. I think it was because there was a ton of foreplay and I was really, ahem, ready for it. Kinda makes you wonder. Do they (meaning the hymen fetishists) INTEND for it to suck for the virginal woman, since they're so intent on having her bleed? God forbid she enjoy it and not have to hemorrhage. #fakehymen

    @Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: Neither did I. Whether this was from years of prior tampon use, falling on the beam in gymnastics a few times or simply being born without one, there was no blood at my deflowering. I don't think that bleeding is as common as people think it is, although obviously there are women who do. It's just such a bizarre standard to measure something by, never mind the absurdity of fetishizing virginity in the first place. #fakehymen

    I hear this same argument from all kinds of abstinence only educators, people who don't want girls getting the HPV vaccine, and various churchy people. Why is it, I wonder, that in their minds the ONLY thing keeping ALL WOMEN from becoming TOTAL NYMPHOS is 1. a hymen or 2. fear of stds or 3. jesus ???

    Also if that is true, as a unhymened atheist condom user, why aren't I getting laid more?

    Except that apparently we actually don't really even like having sex, just using it to get the trash taken out.

    Garbage is the real enemy, obviously.

    Hymens are easy to break BEFORE sex. Horseback riding is a common culprit. I broke mine while snowboarding.

    @Snizzy-Snazz Bullets: No idea when mine broke, but suspect it has something to do with the ballet teacher offering prizes to those of us who could do a total straddle-split and then touch our stomachs to the floor.

    @Adah: Good lord, I had no idea so many people actually still have it intact the first time they have sex. I figured almost everyone broke it doing some version of sporty awkwardness since girls started wearing pants, and thought films and books just kept using it because it was an excuse for drama. Hunh.

    This is a legitimate concern. My artificial virginity hymen served me mulled wine and marijuana and told me I was pretty. In a rare moment of clarity, I left his houseboat & called a cab.

    Is there any product that Religious leaders DON'T think will cause "illicit sexual relations"?

    Don't give the children hot pockets... they'll start dry humping.

    No snuggies for you! You little fornicators!

    @schlegs84: I think I've told this story on Jez before...a boyf once ate a hot pocket off my stomach, which led to innuendo, and finally, actual humping. So an argument could be made about giving children access to said pastry.
