Question
it is said that ladies who are athletes one way or the other can break their hymen and lose their virginity. is this really true? please give me information.
Answer
The reality is actually that not everyone bleeds or has a hymen to break the first time they have vaginal intercourse, and one possible explanation is that their hymen had been broken by some other activity when they were younger, including athletics.
