介绍:
Nina Dølvik Brochmann: Like most of you, we grew up believing that the hymen is a proof of virginity. But it turns out we were wrong. What we discovered is that the popular we are told about female virginity is based on two anatomical myths. The truth has been known in medical communities for over a hundred years. Yet somehow these two myths continue to make life difficult for women around the world.
Ellen Støkken Dahl: The first myth is about blood. It tells us that the hymen breaks and bleeds the first time a woman has vaginal sex. In other words, if there is no blood on the sheets afterwards, then the woman was simply not a virgin.
The second myth is a logical consequence of the first. Since the hymen is thought to break and bleeds, people also believe that it actually disappears or is in some way radically altered during a woman’s first intercourse.
If that were true, one would easily be able to determine if a woman is a virgin or not by examining her genitals, by doing a virginity check.
Nina Dølvik Brochmann: So that’s our two myths: Virgins bleed and hymens are lost forever.
