Well, here we are again.
Of the seventeen comments about my previous (and first) post, all were unanimous in agreeing that good writing clearly does not come easily for all of us. That is certainly no reason to stop writing, but for the sake of those of us who are reading a bit of attention to detail (and fact) might be in order for some.
The biggest bitch, by far, among the comments was about the location of the hymen. So I present, herewith, a quick overview (you wish, don't you) of that elusive bit of tissue.
A female human's
rel="nofollow">hymen (cherry) is located in front of the vaginal opening at the base of the inner lips (labia minora). It covers the entrance to the vagina. There is an opening in the middle that can range from a few millimeters (rare) to practically the entire width of the vaginal vestibule.
The presence of a hymen was for thousands of years the very definition of virginity. However, with the advent of female participation in sports and other active ventures over the past decades, the hymen is frequently ruptured "prematurely." Therefore, in Western cultures, virginity is generally considered to persist until the vagina itself has been penetrated by a penis.
Please note: You cannot pop your mushroom head* into the entrance of the vagina or beyond without first breaking an existing hymen. The mistaken understanding of the hymen's location is one of the sure signs of a writer who knows very little about the subject of intercourse beyond some vague idea of putting tab A into slot B.
Don't continue to embarrass yourself by proxy. Check out the drawing I linked to and get it right next time.
*While we're at it: why not lose the "mushroom head" thing entirely. It's old and worn out, and it wasn't a very good trope to begin with.
