It will usually tear the first time the woman has intercourse and will bleed a little (and maybe hurt a tad). Often times the hymen will tear earlier, however, just by chance - don't worry. Typically virginity is determined by wether or not the hymen is intact. [ paenian's advice column | Ask paenian A Question ]

Hope that helps. If you ever heard the expression "popped cherry" it refers to this. [ GDROB's advice column | Ask GDROB A Question ]
