    Question

    How do I check for virginity at home? Is there any method to know if we are still virgins or not without going to the doctor? Does virginity remain if the fluid discharge did not enter the body?

    Answer

    Well, being a virgin suggests that you have never had sex--oral, anal or vaginal. However, technically, if your hymen (piece of tissue inside the vagina) has not been broken, you are still a virgin. The only way to really know is during an exam. Sorry!
