What is the hymen. Tips for virgins

The entrance to the vagina is closed by connective tissue - the hymen, or hymen (named after the Greek god of marriage - Hymenius), which, depending on the individual physiological peculiarities of each girl differs in its location, width and thickness. Nature stipulates that the main function performed by the hymen is to protect the vagina from the penetration of bacteria. Thus, hymen is not only a symbol of virginity, but also serves to protect and preserve the health of women.

The hymen is partially or completely destroyed during sexual intercourse, which in modern medicine is called "defloration." Rarely there are cases when this connective tissue is so thick that it interferes with the sexual act to such an extent that it is necessary to cut it surgically.

Signs of deprivation of virginity

One of the signs of loss of virginity is the presence of a small amount of blood on the sheet and pain during the first sexual contact. But again, everything is purely individual, since not all the loss of virginity is accompanied by painful sensations or blood. Sometimes even during the first intimacy, a girl can experience her first ever vaginal orgasm.

Tips for virgins

Perhaps the main advice for the first night and the first sexual experience is to be sure that you really want it. Relax and surrender, in the literal and figurative sense of the word, into the hands of your partner.

In order to create a more comfortable and romantic atmosphere, you can light candles, include romantic slow music. Before this, take a bath with relaxing essential oils and drink warm tea.

Do not forget the importance of foreplay. To start, dance together a slow dance, gently caressing each other, or make an erotic massage using a massage cream or essential oils.

It is important that the girl was excited enough. If necessary, use a lubricant.

Accept a comfortable pose. This can be as the position of the "horseman" (woman on top), and a simple "missionary". The main thing is that both partners should feel comfortable. In this case, it is important not to hurry up and be patient, because sometimes from the first time it may not work out.

Sexologists recommend refraining from alcohol abuse before losing their virginity for the simple reason that because of it the blood vessels expand. As a consequence, there may be more blood.

In the event that the blood with the loss of virginity is dark-burgundy, then, most likely, it is blood from the cervix. In this case, it is urgent to see a doctor.

It is also important to pay attention to the amount of blood. There should not be more of it than during the first days of menstruation. And, the blood can go for one or even two days. In the event that, after sex, bleeding is accompanied by pain, then immediately you need to seek advice from a gynecologist, since there is a risk of damage to the internal organs.

Until the blood has stopped walking, it is advisable to avoid the next sexual contact. And, at last, remember that good sex is safe sex! Therefore, take care in advance of condoms or other methods of contraception.
