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.

i go to a REALLY small private school and we don't have a health class there, so i never learned about any of this stuff.

I say that it would be easier to masturbat because unless your old and want to have a child you would have sex.

I am glad my teacher brought up the subject of masturbating and breaking our hymens in class when we went over human development because it wasnt something we were going come out and ask. She said it was very normal and that most people do it even if they dont admit it.

And I know on The Secret Life show they are talking about it a lot, and I think they are doing that so people will understand its an alternative to us having sex with a guy. Maybe if people understood that teen pregnancy would go down or we wouldnt get involved with a guy as young as some of us are doing. I kind of agree with that.

Our teacher said, blame it on hormones and being curious and not because its gross or bad to do.
