Myths About Female Anatomy

1. The hymen breaks after the first time a
woman has sex
A thin layer of tissue that lines the vagina
Becomes worn down through normal
activities
Can break before sex!

2. The first time always hurts
A woman never has to be in pain during sex!
Pain usually comes from muscle tension in
vagina
Blood may come from tearing of vaginal
tissue -- NOT HYMEN!

Well not exactly a myth

Typically takes 20 minutes of foreplay
before vaginal muscles relax

4. Too much sex will stretch you out
Like the penis, vaginas are all built in
different sizes and shapes!
