Okay so I'm a virgin, but all my friends are sexually active so i thought if i am soon i want to know if i'm normal, so i just looked down there to see if i was normal but there is a string like piece of skin going across my vagina, is this normal for a virgin? and if not how do i fix it? i don't want to be embarrassed on my first sexual encounter!

Hi Alicia,

No need to worry, if you are a virgin this is your hymen. You can read more information about it here http://www.youngwomenshealth.org/hymen.html.

I hope this helps.
