Hi,
Someone from the LJ community
[Unknown site tag]
recommended I post the following questions here as I might get some response...I would appreciate any feedback please!
if these questions aren't exactly related, I'm sorry, I just don't know where else to ask...
1. Yesterday my partner and I began to play with each other. He put his penis in me, but we don't think he went in all the way. So, am I still a virgin?
Is there anyway to tell if my hymen has been broken by him? Yesterday when we were finished, I felt awful, but I think I was soo stressed worrying about
what might happen from what we did yesterday...
2. I've been taking Ortho Evra for several years now, and applied my first new patch of 3 during my period week, Thursday. Since our playing around yesterday I haven't bled or anything, so does this more than likely
mean I'm ok? I've never missed a period ever before and now I'll have to wait at least 2-3 weeks before my next one comes! I know the patch is like 99%
accurate, so I'm not really worried about becoming pregnant, I'm just wondering if/when I'd see any effects from my escapade yesterday.
3. Finally, does semen stain furniture? We've been playing on the couch, and I just don't want there to be any evidence if possible.
If anyone could please answer some and/or all these questions, I would sincerely appreciate it!!!
Thanks!

3. In my experience, semen just leaves a crusty residue which can be dabbed off with a damp rag.

3) Semen stains are protein stains. Assuming that you are referring to upholstery, use a towel and lukewarm (not hot) water with a mild cleaner (like shampoo, or even rug cleaner) to blot the stain away. Don't scrub, which will work the stain in, or use hot water, which will cook the stain in.

Date: 2008-05-20 11:21 pm (UTC)For many of us, our first sexual contact isn't quite so cut-and-dried as it perhaps was in centuries past. Most of us don't go from no sex to full PIV intercourse on our wedding nights, anymore - we might have various levels of contact, some light, some quite involved, before we have what we consider a true "having sex" experience. So the lines are blurred in more ways than one, which I would say is another argument for the obsolescence of the term "virginity."
From all this, I would say - decide for yourself! Do you feel like you have become a sexually active person, who has had an experience that you'd call sex, or do you feel like that's yet to come?
About the hymen - the absence or presence of hymens doesn't necessarily have anything to do with sexual activity. Many, many girls have partially or completely lost theirs long before they became sexually active. And there are women whose hymens have remained in place despite having had plenty of penetration from tampons, fingers, penises, toys, whatever. It just doesn't have much to do with anything.
Sexual activity can muddle a bit with your body - if you were due to start bleeding and haven't, it could be due to the new activity. It can also be due to stress about the same :)

I think you are asking if the hymen protects you from pregnancy? No, but you were plenty protected anyway, I think.

Date: 2008-05-21 12:32 am (UTC)As far as what "effects" you might see from yesterday's experience -- I'm not sure what kind of effects you are expecting. As others mentioned you are extremely protected against pregnancy, and the pregnancy risk from a tiny bit of non-ejaculatory penetration when you're on HBC is virtually nil.
Not all women bleed the first time they have vaginal penetration. Either the hymen doesn't tear very much (or doesn't tear at all), or it tore years ago from other activities, or they were born without one or with only a very small one to begin with.

Date: 2008-05-21 07:21 am (UTC)A broken hymen will generally cause a bit of pain/soreness and some bleeding, but not always. It's pretty likely that you could have actually broken your hymen years ago while riding a bike or any number of activities.
As others have said, I really doubt that you're pregnant, but if it'll give you some piece of mind, have your boyfriend use a condom the next time you decide to do this sort of fooling around.
