FACTS ABOUT THE HYMEN AND VIRGINITY





A virgin is a person who has never had any form of sexual intercourse before being it *penovaginal, anal or oral SEX* ....period!

Couple of years back, in order to encourage people who have had sex before to abstain, the term *secondary virginity* was introduced.

*Hymen*: _is a thin membrane that partly covers the vagina. There are different types of hymen and some can even cover the vagina entirely (imperforated)._

Unfortunately, a lot of people use the presence or absence of the hymen to determine a female's virginity. That can be very deceptive because there are so many ladies out there without their hymen but have never had sex before. Sadly, they are expected to bleed on their first sexual intercourse and if it doesn't happen, then it means they told a lie. This controversy has gone on for decades and still going on. A lot of boyfriends and husbands have all lost trust for their partners due to this issue of virginity.

_Is there anything which determines that a man has never had sex before?_

There is nothing except what the man says...his word! _Isn't the word of a female also enough if she says she is a virgin?_

There are certain activities that can cause a person to break the hymen. Some of the activities include:

1. Dripping hot or warm water into the vagina of a baby when bathing for the baby. Some mothers or caretakers do this in the name of dressing sores inside the vagina or cleaning the vagina... *what a shock!*

2. Some parents or caretakers also punish children by grinding ginger with pepper and inserting it into the vagina as a form of punishment.

3. Riding bicycle, motorcycle, horse riding etc are some of the activities that can cause the hymen to break.

4. Some people also got their hymen broken due to medication. Some medicines are inserted into the vagina which can also cause the hymen to break or wear off.

In other cases, some also gets their hymen broken because a paedophile inserted his penis or finger into the child's vagina (defilement). Innocent and naive, she may not know or understand what happened.  She may not tell or could not even talk well or at all, depending on the age or maturity of the baby or child. She grows up and can't recall herself having sex with anybody. She thinks herself as a virgin. _Is she wrong to say she is? Do you blame her for saying so?_

Some people also break their hymen in the game, '' *maame ne paapa*'' (a game by children role playing parents) by using the penis or the finger.

_Is it still worth using the presence or absence of a females hymen to judge her?_

In any case, what really matters in a relationship? Is it the hymen of a person or her attitude and behaviour that matter?

Its possible to find somebody whose hymen is broken or have had sex before but his or her heart is pure and with good character. It is also possible to find somebody whose hymen is intact or have not had penovaginal sex before but the character of that person is terrible.

There are some people with their hymen intact but have had sex before.

1. Some people have thick hymen such that they can have sex several times but the hymen will still be there. In some situations, such hymen is surgically removed.

2. Some people intentionally have anal sex in order to preserve their hymen for men who place high value on the presence of hymen.

3. Others also engage in oral sex all in the name of keeping their hymen intact.

Unfortunately for them and their knowledge, these are all forms of sexual intercourse. All of them can also lead to *Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)*

It's about time we take a second look at the issue of virginity otherwise we will continue to treat people unfairly, push people into doing certain things to preserve they hymen, make people feel bad for something which happened to them through no fault of theirs.

_Even if people have had sex before, don't they deserve a better relationship or marriage?_ Most of the great women and celebrated women and men in the world including great men and women of God, did not marry as a virgin.

The present character or behaviour of the person is what counts and not presence or the absence of hymen.

FOR PURPOSE OF CLARITY AND FEAR OF BEING MISUNDERSTOOD...

Virginity is a standard for everyone ( both male and female) but for the purpose of this writeup, without any form of bias, no woman should be judged by the presence or absence of the hymen. The character remains supreme.

Thank you!!!

SAGGING BREAST…Causes, prevention and why both men and women hate it.

  We have been running a series on feminine health to make women understand more about their body system and how stuffs work. Breast sagging is an experience faced by most ladies. Some no longer have confidence in their body because their breast could not win the fight against gravity. Sagging breasts can seriously weaken women’s self-esteem making them feel less attractive to the opposite sex. Breasts have no muscles, but consist of fat, connective tissues and mammary glands, so they require constant care in order to stay well-shaped. Breasts usually start sagging after 40, but in many cases it starts even earlier. Sagging breasts are not only caused by age and pregnancy. Factors such as these put the esteem of most women to jeopardy. If you're a woman who grew up playing with Barbie dolls, you may have spotted a difference between the fashion doll's pert chest and the lower-hanging breasts of mothers, grandmothers, teachers, and other women you saw around you. The girls…

Virus...A lesson from the movie "3 idiots".

If you haven't seen the celebrated Bollywood "3 idiots"... I rest my case. For those of us that deemed it necessary to see a movie that could teach one more about friendship and true education than anything else can, I like to invite us to take a closer look at one of the characters of that groundbreaking movie. Not Rancho. Virus. If one were asked to draw up a list of lessons gleaned from the Rancho character, I believe that the list will be endless. The reason is not farfetched: in him is no guile; he is a perfect human being in every sense of that word. What about Virus? Everything was wrong with the man. For driving his own son to suicide, his daughter Pia accused him of murder. For driving his student, Joy Lobo, to suicide, Rancho accused him of murder. In one word, he was the Hitler of Imperial College of Engineering, ICE. While we take Virus for an undesirable element, we shouldn't forget to imbibe the one thing that was great about him: Time management

MALE MORNING ERECTION (What Men and ladies needs to know) PART 1

I am writing about Male morning erection today. Don't be amazed, it's my job to relate the right information to you without any form of misdirection. I got a lot of questions from my beloved readers on one of the topics we discussed earlier "WHY HAVE SORE NIPPLES? Part 1 & 2" .I was delighted as we sorted issues out in my Facebook mailbox. Many young men, and even some older ones who haven’t found the right people to ask, are curious about morning erections. Most people who have a penis have the experience, with some regularity, of waking up in the morning with an erection. What Is A Morning Erection? Morning erections, colloquially referred to as "morning wood" and scientifically defined as nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) are a healthy and predictable physiological response that most men experience. Morning erections would be better described as the tail end of a series of nighttime erections, as they are just the last erection in a series.

I AM A MAN!!!... SO WHAT? ( The silent Agony of the male folks)

Ladies always think the society and every force that be works alternatively for most of their misfortune. In a world where both genders expected to complement each other are busy pointing accusing fingers, women especially think they're rare specie more than the male folks and no one have ever taken a single minute to consider what men pass through daily, simply because they don't complain. Men suffer in silence unlike women that makes noise, shout and scream at just a slightest of pain. Its never easy to be a man. Viewing through their lens, I concur to the fact that God foresaw a lot ahead and purposely gave men the power to dominant because they're the best fit for that role. 1.Because I am a man, I always have to make the first move in almost everything because that's what's expected of me at every point in time. Once I fail in taking the first step which I'm unsure of what the outcome will be, I'm tagged a weakling, a coward and a woman simply becaus

SOUL TIES ( Sexual bonds).

SEX is a Spiritual bond (Soul tie) How many men's/women's souls do you have inside of you? Every person you sleep with leaves a part of themselves with you. Some of us think sex is for fun but you don't know that sex out of marriage is the greatest covenant that you can ever think of, Sexually transmitted demons are not something to play with and are harder to get rid of than diseases!!!! Soul ties are more powerful than you think. The right mate for you will PRAY on your soul not PREY on it. Women, God made u to be protected by your husband's and sex makes you feel married, even though you aren't. Sex is a spiritual bond because of the connection made during love making. Do you ever wonder what your soul looks like to GOD? Sex does more to the body than the eyes can see. Be careful who and what you allow your soul to tie to!!! This picture touched me.  Think about it.

Make Effective use of your Time.

Time  management behaviors are very much a matter  of choice. You choose to be efficient or you choose to be  disorganized. You choose to focus and concentrate on your highest-value tasks,  or you choose to spend your time on activities that contribute little value  to your life. And you are always free to choose. Why spend half of your day chatting online when you can use that same time and run some online courses? The starting point of overcoming your previous programming, and eliminating the mental blocks to time management, is for you to make a clear, unequivocal decision to become absolutely excellent at the way you use your time minute-by-minute and hour-by-hour.

Your aim should be to manage your time so well that people look up to you and use you as a role model for their own work habits.

YETSHE STAYED..

One question I have always asked myself about girls and women who are domestically abused which is one thing common with them all is "why stay? Sweet heart, why stay? This people, for one or two reasons will stay or even give the relationship a second, third, fourth chance, and infinite no of chances. Because they believe that things can change. The man can change. Truth is that the man in question might not get to change if strict and absolutely right measures are not taken. Tricia A woman in her late 30ies. A mother of three kids. It all started the first day she confront her husband. Honey, "why are you coming back by this time"? This is not how you used to be.. Let's be the way we were before we had kids. I need the man I married not a 'drunkard". The inebriated husband gifted her a slap whose sound woke up their neighbours. But then, she stayed. Reason: because of my kids. No, the kick boxing didnt not stop because she gave him reason to c

MEN GO AFTER WHAT THEY WANT.

Men go after what they want. A woman should not be under any impression that she is the woman a man wants to be with. Your cooking skills, sex moves and Christian like attitude may not guarantee you a space in his heart. Only a man knows what he wants and till he finds it,  everything you do will hardly make sense to him. If you have done more than this and feel you deserve more. If you have given everything and he still treats you like a nobody... It's time to move on. You ain't what he wants. It doesn't mean you ain't valuable. It doesn't mean that you have nothing to offer. It doesn't make him an evil man....... It's simply a case of you not being the woman he wants to be with. Out there, on the streets is a man looking for someone like you. He will do anything to be with you. So why waste your time and lose sleep over someone who doesn't see you in his future? Don't waste time in an unproductive relationship. Don't beat
