Virginity Testing Options

[SarahxJoy]

I searched and I found no topics on this subject, so here goes..

Okay, so I'm trying to help out my friend. She's seventeen years old and her and her boyfriend of ten and a half months have had sex. But only twice, and this happened within the last two months. Apparently her mother suspects that she's no longer a virgin and is threatening to get her checked. My friend doesn't want her mom to find out or else she might get kicked out of the house or something along those lines.

I told her that they would mainly check to see if her hymen was intact. But we all know that checking the hymen isn't a very reliable source for indicating a female's virginity. You can break your hymen by certain physical activities, the use of a tampon (right?), and some girls are even born without hymens.

She asked me if there was any other way that they can tell if you're a virgin or not, besides examining a girl's hymen. And well..I don't know.

Is there? My friend was freaking out and wouldn't stop crying over the phone.

^I have to agree.. Besides, I was asking about virginity testing. Not personal opinions of whether or not what my friend and her boyfriend did was a mistake or not.

Everyone will have different opinions, of course, but like I said, that's not what I was asking for.

Anyway..my boyfriend's grandma used to be a nurse and she said that other than checking the hymen, the gyno can also check to see if there's scarring/tears. Can you get that from rigorous activities/sports and tampons too? I doubt it, but..I know you can from sexual intercourse and masturbation though..

gynecologists can tell that you've had sex, from that exactly. they can see if your vagina is teared or scarred. im quite sure that you can only get that from having sex, so yeah. there's no point in lying because they are specialized in that and will know either way. if your friend is going to the gynecologist to get "checked", then she has nothing to worry about because the gynecologists won't tell her parents. it's confidential.
