    Question

    can you lose your virginity by masturbation with objects?

    Answer

    Yes, if you insert something into your vagina that breaks your hymen, then technically you are no longer a virgin. However if your definition of a virgin is someone who is not sexually active with another person, then, you are a virgin if your only sexual behavior is masturbation (alone).
