THE HYMEN IS NOT FOOLPROOF You Could Get Pregnant While Still A Virgin - This was the third time she was "peeing on a stick" over the past one week. And like was the case in the first two times, there was still two bands on the stick, leaving her perplexed. She had missed her period for 2 consecutive months, but being a "Virgin", with her hymen still very much intact, the possibility of being pregnant didn't for once cross her mind. Not until the breasts started filling out and feeling tender, and she started getting the early morning sickness, that her friend managed to convince her to pee on a stick. Even at that, she still didn't see the need for it; she was no Virgin Mary that she should get pregnant by "immaculate conception". Bobo has never penetrated her, he respected her so much to do that. Besides she wouldn't even allow it herself. Realizing that Bobo had needs, real needs that needed to be taken care of to keep him from the "bitches" in the streets, who are always eager to play side chic, they had reached a compromise, finding ways to satisfy Bobo while leaving her hymen in tact. They would kiss, smooch, dry-hump, but never penetrate! Sometimes though, they would pull the "coitus interfemoris" stunt ; she would bring her laps together, and Bobo would rub off on the sulcus or groove formed in between the two. Other times, she even allows him to "rub off" around the vulva. She loves this the most, as it gives her unimaginable pleasures. But she had never allowed him penetrate her. Never! And yet there she was missing her period for the 3rd consecutive month, feeling all bloated, with breasts so sensitive even her blouse brushing against them causes her pain; and what more with the stick she just peed on showing two bands! . . DISCUSSION It is a popular belief among the female folks that once the hymen is in tact, pregnancy is impossible; that without penetrative sex, pregnancy is not possible, especially in an anatomical virgin. The reason behind this misconception is that, the hymen is erroneously thought to completely seal off the introitus, posing physical barrier to Y-bearing emissaries from the male ejaculate; just like a condom. But if this were so, how then does anatomical virgins menstruate; how does menstrual effluent, which is supposedly thicker and more viscous than semen, find its way around the hymen? The simple answer is, that the hymen is never really a complete barrier; at best it is a membranous tissue [thin skin] that provides INCOMPLETE covering for the vagina. Except for the IMPERFORATE HYMEN, the type that is completely sealed off, and does not allow for menstruation, leading to HEMATOCOLPOS; most hymens are riddled with varying degrees of openings, giving rise to the different types: annular, septate, cribriform, fimbriated, lunar, bifenestrate, etc [see pictures]. Thus ejaculating near the vulva in an anatomical virgin can lead to pregnancy, even without a prior penetrative sex. During ejaculation, semen comes out in spurts, and the velocity or speed is enough to jet sperm past the hymen, and into the vagina. What happens next is dependent in the woman's fertility status as at the time of such a play. So, if an anatomical virgin must engage in such heavy play as coitus interfemoris, or "dunking", then she either combines it with coitus interruptus [ pausing, to ejaculate far from the vulva ], or take all the necessary precautions a non virgin having penetrative peno-vaginal sex would, or risk unwanted pregnancy.
