    Question

    how do you know you've lost your virginity? a friend of mine got drunk and caught a ride home with some guy she met and instead ended up at his house. she doesn't know if they went all the way. they tried but it was her first time and i guess it was tight and so they stopped cause she was in pain. has she lost her virginity? she didn't bleed after or any other day after, except when she got her periods.

    Answer

    The only way to know would be with a doctor exam, but I would be more worried about the drinking and going home with someone - that stuff is risky and maybe talking to a school counselor might be a good idea.
