I am wondering what your definition of "virgin" is?

In most cultures, a virgin is a description of a women who has not had sexual intercourse; penis-to-vagina specifically.

If you have had sexual intercourse with your husband, then you would not be considered a virgin.

Are you asking because you thought you have to experience pain in order not to be a virgin? Is this your culture's definition of "virgin" (a woman can have sex, but if she doesn't experience pain with intercourse...then she is still a virgin?).

Some women have hymens in-tact into their adulthood, other women have small hymens, no hymen or a hymen that was normally expanded through normal activity in their childhood (playing, exercising, etc). Some women experience pain with their hymen "breaking", and others do not...this is all normal!
