it not so much the hymen being there or not, more being with a virgin. When boys talk about taking a girls cherry, it’s more the fact we are taking her virginity, rather than wanting to cause pain by breaking a girls hymen.
it;s a shame, but if a boy sleeps with 10 girls, hes a stud. if a girl sleeps with 10 boys she is a slut. that is not fair
if a boy and girl are considering sex for the first time (sadly im still waiting), it should be special and nice. breaking the hymen might not be the only sore thing if done wrong
