"The normally-configured vaginal hymen is among the body's more law-abiding bits. It causes few medical problems and is the victim of few diseases. No one has ever suffered from cancer of the hymen, scoliosis of the hymen, or hymen dystrophy. If it weren't for the social significance we attach to it, there would be little incentive for us to know anything about the hymen at all." -- [livejournal.com profile] misia, 2004-01-19

Hymen

First off, Hyman was my father's father's middle name. His first name was Ethert. Really. Go figure. No wonder everyone called him Freckles.

Secondly, I did have one until I was 35. Cute, fringy, little thing. Stretchy. It was that way when I was a virgin. Maybe the tampons. Never thought about it much. I never heard about the sociological implications until I was nearly 20. Maybe the one thing my comprehensive sex-ed class didn't cover, or I didn't remember. Thank the Powers that Be that I'm here and now, and not there and then.

Born to be a ruined woman.

And that's all I'm going to say about hymens. Useless little bits of tissue ascribed meanings they do not show.
