A hymen is a thin piece of skin inside the vagina. When people talk about breaking it, it is pretty self explanitary. It can be broken by doing a lot of sport, using tampons, masturbating and having sex.

ok well...i don't know the scientific way of explaining it...but here we go.
ok its this ... flap? of skin that is oin your vagina that gets VERY EASILY broken from simple things like horseback riding, tampons (kinda obvious), stretching/exercising...etc.
and especially/obviouslty sex or being fingered.
if you break it...i don't know what to tell you. but, over time, like 7 months, the skin eventually repairs itself if you don't penetrate it within those 7 months (hence the term "secondary virgin" - refer to my older questions for a full explanation)
hope i helped!

its called your 'cherry' heres a little info on it from a website



The hymen, or "maidenhead," is a thin, fleshy membrane that in some girls and young women is found at the opening to the vagina. The hymen has a central perforation, which can be round or elongated, through which menstrual blood will flow.

For a long time, it was believed that an intact hymen was evidence of a girl's virginity, as the hymen posed a barrier to sexual intercourse.

Some girls who are still virgins have no hymen at all.

Girls who do have a hymen can "break (or pop) their cherry" in a number of differerent ways, sometimes without even knowing it. Some of the non-sexual ways in which a hymen will tear are:

1. Through an accident or injury
2. Horseback riding, bicycling, high jumping, or gymnastics
3. Insertion of finger or instrument by doctor during pelvic exam
4.tampon


5. Overzealous douching

Sex and the Hymen

Sexual methods of "deflowering" a girl (another euphemism for rupturing the hymen) include:

1. Inserting a finger deeply or roughly into the vagina
2. Masturbation with a phallic-shaped vibrator or other such tool
3. Sexual intercourse

While the presence of a hymen indicates virginity, the absence of a hymen is does not prove a girl is not a virgin.

Since an intact hymen can be stretched and split by an erect penis during sexual intercourse, a woman may feel momentary discomfort and/or bleed. Should either persist, a consultation with a doctor is in order. On the other hand, there may be no blood or pain involved at all when the hymen is torn.

In many cultures, a girl’s virginity until marriage is considered a critical virtue. Consequently certain fanfare may accompany the display of "proof." In some Mediterranean and African countries, the blood-stained sheet is still hung proudly outdoors following the wedding night.

Restoring the Hymen

In some backward countries, the absence of blood after first intercourse still casts questions on a bride's virginity. To protect themselves from violence and even death, some engaged women in these places arrange for hymenorraphy, which is surgery to repair the hymen. Typical hymen repair surgery involves stitching what remains of a torn hymen together and inserting a gelatin capsule that contains a blood-like substance.

Who was Hymen?

According to sources, the hymen is named after the Greek god Hymenaeus. Son of Bacchus and Venus, Hymenaeus earned his reputation as the god of marriage and weddings.

A hymen is a layer of skin in a woman's vagina. If it's torn while having sex, then it means you've lost your virginity. But if it's torn while doing any thing physical and such, then it has no significant meaning, unlike when it's torn while having sex.
