The presence or absence of hymen is not a reliable indicator of virginity or sexual experience. (True/false)

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Hymen:** The hymen is a thin membrane that partially covers the vaginal opening. It is often associated with virginity, as it is traditionally believed that its presence indicates a lack of sexual experience. 2. **Breaking of the Hymen:** The hymen can break due to various reasons, not just sexual intercourse. While it is commonly thought that the hymen breaks during first sexual intercourse, this is not the only scenario. 3. **Other Causes for Hymen Rupture:** Activities such as vigorous physical exercise, gymnastics, tampon use, or medical examinations can also lead to the hymen stretching or tearing. Therefore, the condition of the hymen can change due to non-sexual activities. 4. **Conclusion on Virginity Indicator:** Because the hymen can break for reasons unrelated to sexual activity, its presence or absence cannot be reliably used as an indicator of a person's virginity or sexual experience. 5. **Final Answer:** Therefore, the statement "The presence or absence of hymen is not a reliable indicator of virginity or sexual experience" is **True**. ---
