Hymenectomy? You know, I'd never even heard of this procedure until I was browsing around indiebride.com. Hells, what else don't I know?

Call me crazy, but I gotta figure there are more pleasant ways to lose a hymen.

I really want to make either a "love doctor" or "oral surgeon" joke, but this is just too depressing to joke about, so I won't.

Actually, the weirdest part of all that is that the groom talked to his MOM who told him to get his fiancee's hymen clipped. That's so creepy. If my mother in law ever gave mr. rossi advice on my crotch, I'd...*shudders*

I am wondering how often the hymen stays intact until actual penile penetration happens. . .I mean don't these things also get torn by sports, horseback riding, masturbation, and such?

Honest question. . .

My ol' pal leslie made up her own parody of Metallica's 'Battery,' back in the day:

Smashing thru your hymen/found a place to hide in/I conquered your virginity..

(the algonquin round table we weren't)

danf, I found this explanation at Babeland about the state a woman's hymen may be in by the time she's in her 20s when I was trying to answer an AskMe question a while ago. Might be helpful.

(I should perhaps have pointed out that there are dildo photos on that link above, and so it may not be safe for work.)

As kids, we parodied The Beatles "All My Loving" thusly:

Close your eyes
Spread your legs. .
And I'll fertilize your eggs . . .

Do you spend a lot of time at indiebride, gaspode? Just the forums or do you use the rest of the site as well?

Just curious. . . Well more than just curious I admit I have a personal interest. . .

WORD WORD WORD. Waaaaay creepy.

on preview: I glance through the forums most days, Bellman, but I don't use the rest of the site. It was handy (and a relatively sane site) when I was planning my wedding a couple of years ago and I like to give back a little with advice and reassurance.

Ah ok. Just curious because Mrs. Bellman writes this.

Oh cool! I've read it a couple times.

that I've had one, Gaspode?

Doesn't seem necessary, generally... my advice, for any first-timers: Gals, get on top. That way, you can control how much and how quickly, etc.; it works, honest.

I really hope that woman knows how to get herself off, otherwise sex is not going to be any fun.

My mom used to work in admins in a hospital with a large Orthodox Jewish clientel. Occasionally, a young woman would come in for just such a procedure. On more than one occasion, the young woman was pregnant. How? By her husband being inexperienced as well, and not...making it all the way. so I've been told.
