You can break your hymen riding a bicycle or a horse. In all honesty, your hymen has probably been gone for a couple of years by now, since you are 23 years old. Believe me, its perfectly natural for it to be gone. Its very thin and delicate, and breaks easily on its own.
If you were bleeding, it is because you stuck your fingers in a hole not prepared for such an entry. Will you bleed the first time you have sex? Assuming his penis is larger than your fingers, yes, you probably will.
Adviceman gave outstanding advice, and you should really listen to him.

There are many way for a Hymen to be torn. Use of a Tampon is the most often way a girl tears her Hymen. Then there is the playing of most recreational sport that can cause a Hymen to become dislodged. Horseback riding, bike riding and motorcycle riding to name of few more.
There is an inherent risk to any surgery. Among those risks is infection. Even when using a piece of your own skin to form a Hymen the risk of infection in that area is high and the end result may be to remove the piece of skin to resolve the infection.
There are only a few areas in this world where by custom or religion a man must marry a virgin. The proof a virginity is usually accepted to be a blood stained bed sheet after first intercourse. If you do not live in one of these areas or do not closely follow this type of religion. The man you may eventually marry, should you marry, would not expect someone of your age to be a virgin.
If I were a women I would not consider a hymenoplasty and the risk of infection. For the risk of infection could also end any chance of my having children. A man looking for a virgin wife would also be a man wanting to have children.
Your ffuture husband will just have to trust that even without a blood stained sheet no man has ever touched you sexually. If he can't except that then he doesn't deserve you as his wife. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
