As a Medical Doctor, I can happily confirm the accuracy of this very informative video. This is most certainly an excellent resource for growing teens. A few additional points of clarification: -an imperforate hymen means that the hymen does not have any holes in it. This can cause a problem for girls reaching puberty and experiencing menarche (the very 1st menstrual cycle). In this case, the girl will have all the signs and symptoms of menarche, but there will be no flow of blood (because of the blockage). She may feel unwell or develop a fever and it is important to take her to a doctor. The procedure is very simple and all it needs is a small surgical incision or nick in the hymen to make a hole so that the blood can flow out every month. This happens in less than 10% of cases. -for those girls with a strict or conservative Religious upbringing where the hymen is valued (it is important to respect the religious and cultural beliefs of patients), then it is important for the girl to notify her Ob-Gyn, that she is a virgin. In this case, the Ob-Gyn will do the full exam without inserting a speculum (which can perforate the hymen in some cases). -the overall summary is: in 90% of cases, if a girl has an intact hymen, it means that she has never had sexual intercourse; however, the reverse does not apply. That is, if a girl does not have an intact hymen, it does not necessarily mean that she has had sex before, because there are several reasons why the hymen may not be present as beautifully explained in the video such as: born without a hymen membrane; hymen that is torn through gymnastics, horse-riding or hard fall on a bicycle and so on. -bleeding does not always occur at the first sexual encounter. It occurs in most cases, but the amount varies from a small smudge to copious bleeding. The hymen does not always tear at the first encounter because some hymens are very elastic, while other hymens only have a very thin rim on the edge - this usually disappears after the first pregnancy and delivery of a baby. -it is important to emphasize kindness, compassion and understanding and to be a perfect gentleman at the first encounter (and throughout life). At the first encounter, a chaste girl (one who has never had sex before) will be nervous (that is how the brain works, even though she may not show it). This nervousness leads to dry lips, a dry mouth and dry mucosa. Hence, the natural body lubrication is reduced. Ergo, it always helps to take it very slowly until the girl is totally relaxed and starts producing her own lubrication, which is the best (even if it takes 45-60 minutes of foreplay, or longer - patience is the key). Alternatively, lubrication jelly or oil always helps at the first encounter. Lubrication reduces pain, reduces the friction, and hence, makes the experience less traumatic and less blood loss. -finally, to lose your virginity (especially in cultures and Religions that value it) should be done with someone that you love. It just makes the entire experience so much more special and memorable. In some cases, the “first night” actually means the second or third night. Avoid a one-night-stand at a party where you don’t even know the person. Remember, that many people fake that they are having sex. The majority of Christians and Muslims in my clinical practice, usually wait to get married before having their first sexual encounter. Whatever your belief system, please always take precautions and avoid an unplanned teen pregnancy - it can change your life forever. Furthermore, become knowledgeable about STD’s (sexually transmitted diseases) and HIV-AIDS - it is more common than you may imagine. Movies tend to glamorise sex but they don’t tell you about the after-effects. Thank you for an excellent and informative video. Knowledge is power. Keep it up.

The world deserve more educative videos like this

Now this is what i call educational material. Highly quality, concise wording, precise information, and professional tone. Thanks dandelion medical animation teams.

I’m almost 42 and I have grown up with so many misconceptions because of lack of information and the beliefs of others… that is sad, but also very empowering!❤Thank you!

Show this to males who think if u dont bleed, u weren’t virgin. I haven’t bleed at all first time but it hurt as hell

I'm 16 years old and I already know about this, not all girls have hymen.But this video helped me to understand it further, I really love science and this video could help break the stereotypes about women.Some ppl think that a woman is not virgin when she doesn't bleed for the first time she had sex.Thank you for this!!I'd like to see more contents, I really really love your videos!🖤

I dont know how girls tolerate so much pain and blood.much respect and love to them❤

This channel is becoming one of my favourites.. cuz it is teaching me something that is so important and no one dares to talk about in my country...

As i bio student i can confirm this video is accurate , i loved this . Thank you Ma'am for spreading awareness and educating people.🙏🏻namste

I'm almost 47 years old and today I learned something new about my own body watching this video...an important thing with a logical and scientific explanation!Thank you!!❤❤

It is such a relief to know that some girls do not have hymen. I have been puzzled all my life (I will be 70 next year) why I did not bleed when I lost virginity with the man I married. He kept asking me if I had been a virgin. He left me for another woman later and I felt so liberated - I have enjoyed my life and work as a single person ever since.

I am proud of each member of this team. I took several years and found exactly what I was seeking, a perfectly informative channel with high accuracy..Thank you:)

I was confused about this for many years. Thanks for such an informative and clean-cut video😊

The best video with clear explanation ❤

I’ve heard people talk about hymens but always wondered what it would actually look like. Great video 👍

One of the most informative videos for me personally. I have always heard rumors about this and have always wondered about it. I never bothered to investigate it for myself however. It was just easier to believe the rumors. Now I'm better informed. Thank you very much for this very educational video. This video has had a very positive effect on me. 🙂🙂

Educational as always ❤

I’m a 25 year old woman and didn’t even know all this stuff about my own parts! Thank you!

The quality as improved a lot!! I wish thus is what schools taught instead of what they teach now. Keep it up!!

THANK YOU DANDELION TEAM!!!😍😍😍 Keep up the good works😍😍😍👏👏👏

Hi, I'm a french guy who discovered your channel yesterday trough the process of making a baby video. I've watched like 5 other videos of yours and I love it. The animation is clean, clear, simple to understand. You get straight to the point and the voice is also pleasant to listen to. I've now subscribed to your channel. Please keep up the good work !

This should be watched by all. We have misconception about hymen and virginity, especially old folks. Thank you for correcting our ignorance about this.

As a Doctor I have One correction: The appendix does have an actual function. It is where the Gram Positive Bacterial Culture for proper digestion the body needs comes from. Without the appendix, the levels of Gram Negative Bacteria becomes higher. Gram Positive Bacteria helps digest vegetables and fruits, and breaks down harder foods that could otherwise harm the intestines by scraping the walls. This harm leads to colon cancer and Gram Positive Bacteria helps prevent that. Most people would say that then all one would have to do is ingest larger quantities of yogurt then, since yogurt is a Gram Positive Bacteria source and compliment, but that is also harmful for the Kidneys which then have to work hard in filtrating the system and it increases the Creatinine levels. So if lacking the appendix, it is ok to ingest Yogurt, but balanced quantities and mainly when eating fruits and vegetables. Anyway, only the Wisdom Teeth don't really have a function and cause chaos because they sprout whenever the heck they want.

Very informative..!! Much needed one..!! Congratulations to the entire team..!!

Very well explained!! This needs to be taught in schools with this quality👍

I lost my hymen when I fell from a tree when I was 10 years old or sth. I had bleeding after this fell, I had no idea what happened. Hymen doesn't mean anything, I was still a virgin.

I have learned more about the hymen in this video than I ever have my whole life. I never even knew what it looked like until now. Thank you for the education!

Thanks to explane this chapter people have a lot of misconceptions about it

Your videos are always useful ☺🫠thank u so much... ❤

As a medical doctor,this video is 100% correct I wish i had these videos whilst i was a student Thanks dandelion animation

The video was really educative. Thank you for this

This video just changed so much for me... It has changed everything!! Thank you 🤩

I love this video, so simple and easy to comprehend!

Amazed with this video, thankyou with your positive content.,..

Wow ❤ thanks so much for the quote at the beginning 😘

Totally agree with video ! But Please read my whole comment and reply on it ! I am 22 year old, good looking, handsome guy, topper in school and college and currently focusing on my career. I never proposed any girl. Instead ‘I got proposals from 3 girls’ and many indirect proposals from several girls but I rejected their all proposals with respect because i have some morals, ethics and rational thinking. I believe first to focus on education, career. I don’t want to betray my parents by having love affair at the time of studies and personality development. So my point is i am ‘proud virgin’ by my choice. I believe in marriage system. I want to love only one person and stay loyal for lifetime to that person. in future my wife is going to first love for me (emotionally and physically). So why should I don’t expect same from her? I am not judging anyone. But in some youtube videos,articles they all are only getting side of non-virgins and they are imposing non-virgins on virgins. They are asking virgins to have big heart and accepts directly non-virgin, why ? If loosing virginity was their choice then its our choice to reject them. They don’t have right to judge us. I looks at this things rationally . And in my personal life, I am behaving in the same way that I expect from my future spouse (not having a past love and physical relationship with someone else). So my expectation is based on equality. I like to think rationally and keep modern approach. I am not judging anyone but yes virginity matters for me.(‘ I don’t believe in hymen and bleeding at first night etc.’ it is unscientific & judging someone on the basis of this is also wrong.) You will say ‘what about trust,love,care etc.’ so then yes! With all this things virginity equally matters a lot for me. I want to explore those things emotionally and physically first time with my future wife and expecting same from her. This is my wish, my choice. So whats wrong in this ? Who are this people to call me narrow minded ? Try to understand our point of view. Get one fictional example. If one Girl is having all random relationships and at the same time one boy is struggling to achieve something in life and he stays single for that. After he became well settled he wants same virgin wife as he is. And after all random casual/serious relationships now that girl wants serious,caring,well settled guy. Whats now ? They both deserve good partner. But no one can impose that girl on that boy. Its their choice. Every relationship should start with honesty and truth. Each and everyone has right to choose their life partner according to their preferences and values. Past matters ! What is my present is because of my past. Today i am enjoying success cause I struggled lot in past. So I respect everyone. I am not going to judge anyone. But try to understand virgin’s point of view. their is no one who can talk about virgin like us who stays virgin by choice until marriage, And expect same from future partner. Each and everyone just normalising non-virginity and imposing non virgins on virgins in the name of modernism,21st century and bla bla… And sorry if I hurt someone. If someone suggests me this illogical suggestion that ‘past is past’ and focus on present for marrying non virgin in the name of love so I have many doubts. some querys. after knowing the fact that she is not virgin what if i started imagining continuesly her with another guy and feeling depressed, still you force me to marry her? After knowing the fact that i am not first for her still you force me to marry her? If i can’t digest that fact and not seeing myself happy with that girl still you will impose that non virgin on me ? Rethink ! what about if she is medically ok or not (std)? What if her ex had some photos of unethical activities and blackmail us after marriage and spoiled our married life? Or make fun,troll or teasing? what if she never forget her past ? What if she compares? What if i found that born baby is not mine ? And in todays world considering gossiping,social pressure ..divorce is punishment for whole family although mistakes was done by only one partner. I just want to be virgin for my future wife and expecting same from her and want each other to be loyal for life time ! What is wrong in this ? If i am perfect, I deserve perfect. Even if we agree on other points and we like each other then i will be ready to marry rape victim or person who had faced something wrong in past because in this case it was not that person’s mistake. Even i will give emotional support to her and stand for her. After our marriage if any disaster comes newly then i am ready to stand with her and fight for her but i am not ready to handle problems related to her past relationship which she did by her choice. Why should i take unnecessary risk. I want to be in monogamous relationship. I am the only one for her in whole life ,she is the only one for me in whole life for the “first and last time.” How beautiful feeling is this ! But it is very disgusting that everyone is avoiding our point of view, just trying to impose directly non virgins on virgin and trying to make atmosphere where non virgin can feel comfortable and easily ask to virgin that have big heart and accept us. No one trying to put our point of view and side. You may express your opinion! I am waiting for response. This all are my humble queries. Anyone can reply on it. You may express your opinion! ….. In my opinion those who wants to be in relationship should clear each and everything before getting into it. Both should clear honestly everything regarding past,expectations and another things related future life. If matching then be together and if not then give wishes and move forward. There shouldn’t be lying or cheating! I am against hiding,cheating,lying! I just want to say like others, virgins also have point of view and honest expectations which i have mentioned in my above comment in detail. Because of that no one should call us narrow minded. Respect our expectations as we respecting your personal decisions. i always try to have rational,progressive and liberal approach. And as per this you have to respect each and everyone’s rational and good personal choices. But i am against those hypocrites. I hate their hypocrisy that at one side they support personal choice but at other side they are opposing and denying totally the personal choice of choosing life partner on our personal terms and criteria. I think people like me or people who have attitude like me don’t have representation. I am against judging someone and against extremist of both sides cause I would like to think rationally.. I don’t judge anyone and totally respect each and everyone’s past and their personal and private life. I am no one to make statement on it . But their are many hypocrites who are indirectly making atmosphere In the name of ‘past is past’ against us where we just cannot have our terms. If we put our terms or criteria then they are ready to attack and comment on us that ‘we are narrow minded’. With this attitude they are making environment of inequality where we just can’t demand or expect like “if our partner is going to first love for us then why we should not expect same from him/her ?” I am against imposing opinions, defaming our personal criteria and purposefully making unfavourable atmosphere related us and our opinions. I believe in ‘live and let live’

Thank you so much! I needed this

I am biology students this channel is germ for does students who study deep without any distraction i respect this channel...😊😊

Being as a medical students it's accurate informative video . thanks you so much

So much educative video❤❤❤

well i dont care about hymen of my future woman, all i want to give her love

Thanks for sharing this clip. It refreshed the essence.

That is the best way to be knowledgeable and educated about a lot of this I love these channels I love these Pages this is what I'm talkin about this is what people need to also to be taught and learned. Not to be too personal but I still have that the ring like skin on the inside. That is a major reason why I'm not going to be just sleeping with anyone person hasn't done anything outside of social media to live together. We can't be or live without each other long-term inseparable!!!

I love this channel ❤

I don't even imagine how many women have been injured of unknowing these facts from society

I'm 45 years old now and today I've just learn about the tearing and breaking of the hymen. Many thanks absolutely this channel is informative.

The best video worldwide on this topic

You can't tell who is virgin!!! Virginity simple means the person who never had sex thats it !! Presence and absence of hymen don't indicate anything

When I was in high school cheerleading, they sent home letters to the girls parents saying that because of the stretches and jumps, it could cause hymens to break. That was good ol' Alabama

Easy to comprehend and so educative

these videos are very educative, I didn't knew I needed this till I've found this vid

why do I learn more from the channel on YT than in biology class, our educational system sucks. if my kids ever want to learn about this stuff im showing them these videos cause even im learning stuff I had no idea about on this channel everyday

Anything can break the hymen But some people can obsess over it since they don’t know any better

Thanks for this video

When i was a kid i fell two times on my crotch and both times it made me bleed from my vagina( a few drops of blood each time). I was sure i had lost my virginity but i was a kid and couldnt care less. I saw my mom was kinda disappointed but she didn't say anything. Then when i was 12 i tried to put tampon in and couldnt. At 14 i went to a gynecologist who tried to put a finger in there and she couldnt. I flinched from the pain. Then my first time it was sooo painful and the guy couldnt get it in. So he tried with his fingers. That's when i lost tons of blood and it flew out for two days. My hymen must have been really thick to survive two falls, failed tampon attempt, failed gynecologist visit attempt and intercourse.

Awesome educative video.

Wow, what an informative video! Wish that the materials I red ~20 years ago were this infomative. There was so much more mysticism involved in the explanations... even by experienced gynecologists. That deliberate 'vagueness' of and in topics like these is such a terrible thing! It's not only misleading but also makes young women believe that the hymen must remain secured and covered as an integral part of their bodies (religion makes it sacred, yeah, and shy away from it, but improper shallow education also makes it sound as some almost magical body part 'which breaks and hurts' (and that's all there is), whereas it's not - it's physical, has a shape, there are varieties of it, it attaches to vagina at certain points, it has a function (even if it's assumed), it's determined how it develops and deteriorates, etc. etc.) There's way more than meets the eye! It's not just 'a film surrounding the opening of the vagina', as it's usually described, period. It's an organ! (Or, at least, a part of it.)

Thanks to this educational video, I am now a technologists and specialist.

Im pretty sure I lost my hymen when I was 14. Horse back riding. We jump a fence. Horse gets ahead of me. I fly out of the saddle mid-air. Land crotch-first on the pommel of the saddle. Frikkin bloody ouchies 😭😭😭

I hate when people said I am not virgin , while I never did it ! Some culture is annoying! People must learn Or male must have virginity sign as woman to make it fair

Thanks for the information

Thanks for this informative video with so much details and great animation.

Mind blowing. I had it all wrong all this time, thanks for this material.

and i'm sorry for such illiterate men who killed her wife just day after marraig as she did't bleed...

This video clears many myth 💯💯

Loving this kind of videos 👏🏻

I just found this channel and information provided are very educational. I am very fascinated by all of this.

What a terrifically educational video. This is exactly the kind of information that should be taught in sexual education classes in schools.

When we say "virgin" we refer a person who never had sex.

I got my first period aged 10 and one time used a tampon overnight. Had no problem inserting it, but taking it out took me a few trials. Had no idea about hymen back then, but I'm pretty sure I unknowingly broke it myself.

What a concept 💯💯💯

This was the most easily understandable medical video that I have EVER seen! Thank you! ❤

Awesome work👌❤️

Thank you for this educational video 👍

This is a very good information thank you

Very clean and dignified educationql video

Thank you for this informative video because our school never taught about this

Imagine women living in places where they still display your bloody (or lack of) sheet on the morning after your marriage night to prove you were a virgin. Women who had no hymen, I pray for you sigh.

Thank you for this! It is teached at school,but,well, i am really bad at just listening without any visual. So,thank you for this early education!

This was so informative

A Turkish version of this video is a must. Thanks for the video.

For a sexual harassment survivor I am so thirsty for understanding That I had a value and those rape victims That we are humans. No matter if we are virgins or not. We can stilo help the Earth and be smart for the future😢🎉😇🕊️

One of the best educative vidoes of history. Hands down

Thank you for this video

now that's educational. 👍

Nice animation

Very informative information there, also known as popping the cherry too.

Even when I don't think I need to know, youtube certainly knows better :V Thanks for the educational video DMA.

Our 2nd year History teacher said the same things about Biking and riding horses.. it happens when 1 of our classmates made fun of me. He said according to my skin conditions I'm not a virgin anymore. Bcause I had dry skin before, just like. When you write a number 123 on my arm or leg, you can clearly read what is written in there. Then every time I scratched it there were one or hundreds danruf flies in the air 😂... our teacher from her elementary days to highschool she rode by horse to come to school. I made a short story. She is now married to a doctor, in their honeymoon no pain no blood happened. She felt discomfort because she is afraid about hos husband's comment about it. Even though she is 100% comfortable, it's her first time to have seycks... her husband noticed that something seemed bothering her, so he asked "why" and she asnwerd bout those things. And her husband said "half of your life you spend on horse riding, breaks it...

A woman's body is an art, honestly

Very informative. Thanks for making an animated video on such topics.❤❤❤❤

This information is very educative and enlightening

The last one happened to my partner. She never bled even after countless times. But after 15 months, one day I saw some blood and we didn't even realize when it happened.

This video clears many myths 💯

Nicely explained concept keep it up

Very helpful and information video 🙏🙏

There is a thing that is important that isn't mentioned in this video that could help break prejudices. There's nothing about vaginal secretions/lubrication that is mentioned. If the vagina is dry, lack of secretion, that's the reason why it might break. If you're not aroused and try to penetrate or are dry and trying to insert a tampon that makes you dry which could do more harm than good. Because you can't just push things inside without warm-up/lubrication. Sexual arousal naturally helps making lubrication which makes it easier to stretch and penetrate. The combination of lack of lubrication and always pushing things inside the vagina might cause vestibulitis in the long run which makes penetration painful. Lack of lubrication can be solved by using lube which is nothing shameful, but a very good aid.

Gotta show this to my aunts cuz their so close minded and i even told them virginity doesnt exist but they think it does🤦🏻‍♀️, this video explained it soooo well, Thanks ALOT for making this video♥️

Wow very valuble video. Thanks for creating this valubale video for us 👍

More people need to ❤ know this ❤❤❤❤❤ thanks team!!
