It’s gross, but my friends and I are arguing about masturbation. Does it break your virginal seal?

Masturbation isn’t gross, but talking about it can be embarrassing. It’s super-private, after all!

Touching yourself cannot break the seal, called the hymen, which is a ring of tissue inside the opening of a girl’s vagina, explains Dr. Larrian Gillespie, a urogynecologist in Los Angeles.

Tampons usually don’t break the hymen either. Most often, they hymen only tears after sexual intercourse—although horseback riding or bike riding might cause it to rip. There can be slight bleeding and a bit of pain when it does break.

To any girls curious about masturbating, it is perfectly normal and even healthy. It is when you in a sexual way touch, rub, or otherwise sexually stimulate your vagina. It is (in my opinion) a safer alternative to actually having sex. It is an extremely private affair that most people are embarresed to talk about. The reason I posted this is because I think if a girl is already looking at an article like this, she wants to know the truth, no matter how private. You don't have to do it, but if you do, be sure to do it in private.

My bf told me that guys also have their own version of a period that is also monthly, and though they don't bleed, their hormones act the same way as ours do. Is this true? What exactly causes it?

 

Hey! Though I don't know much about it, it's certainly true that boys experience shifts in hormones. This happens over the course of each day and even yearly with the production of testosterone, which peaks in the morning and dwindles around noon. Essentially, what he's saying is true, except that this cycle has no physical signs of being a monthly occurrence in men the way it is for women.

I'm kind of worried... (comment hidden by moderator)




Hey girlie,

Touching on the outside can't, but yes touching inside can break it. So don't be too concerned - that little bit of blood was probably due to that! It's possible you also got a little irritated, but it doesn't sound like it's something you should be worried about. Just like when you start using tampons, your bod just has to adjust to it. Being sore and spotting a little is totally normal Smile




And hope you don't mind we hid the comment... just want to play it safe with a topic that can be a little taboo/"grown-up" for some of our readers <3

I Like goaliegirl1998,that's kinda cool and yes it is a form of masturbation. but careful with your pictures,cause you don't want anyone to find them. the key to masturbation is to have fun,feel good and plus it takes care of stress.
