Sex, Exposed: The Myths and The Facts
This article is to shed some light on a subject some like to keep in the dark: sex. It is much easier for some people, me included, to read articles and magazines than to talk to a professional about the natural, yet sometimes embarrassing subject. By reading this, you will learn facts, myths, and hopefully the answers to some of the questions you may have.

- It is a myth that If a girl's hymen is broken, torn, or missing, she is not a virgin, or If a girl doesn't bleed during sex, she is not a virgin. Some women are born without hymen. It is very sensitive and easily torn, which means that it can be torn prior to a women's “first time.”.
