How far in the vagina is the hymen?

okay, well, I've read other questions about this, but honestly, how far in the vagina is the hymen aka 'cherry'? I've read responses saying that once the p enis is in the vagina that your virginity is gone, but I have been to a gynacologist for birth...

control (regulates period), and the doctor was able to tell if if was a virgin or not. WHICH I AM, btw. so, I'm thinking you need your cherry popped to not be a virgin anymore? anyways, that's not my question, my question is, how far in does the p enis or finger have to go in to pop the cherry, and if I were to choose to do it myself, how would I go about doing that?
(the reason I would like to do it myself is so I don't have a chance of bleeding during sex, that might scare me)

The hymen is actually on the outside of the vagina.. in the vaginal opening. It's a thin layer of tissue and it doesn't just go away after penetration. Penetration causes it to stretch and tear. Most women will have some remnant of hymenal tissue until they give birth.

The gyno could tell about the state of your hymen but that was just a guess about you being a virgin. The state of the hymen doesn't indicate virginity as your hymen can be gone without ever having sex. Virginity is a spiritual attribute, not a physical one.

You should look at

it has a lot of info about the vagina that you can learn.

she is right its a thin layer of tissue around the opening if your vagina, I dont know why they call it a cherry it looks nothing like one... the dr should know if you are having sex as this gives them an oportunity to help you with having safe sex... they are not going to yell at you infact they may give you condoms before you leave mine did... in any case, Its not cool to lie to your dr I work in the medical field and I cannot tell you how many times I have seen girls come in with STDs that didnt know it, and lied about having sex... and all the while were spreading it around. I hope this helps, dont worry about your Cherry, just be honest

je cherche des photos de l'hymen

Omg . I feel the same way about thatonegirl231 . I'm not really into losing it with a boy because I'm afraid that I'm going to cry from the pain and want to stop right away , and I'm also afraid that the bleeding is going to make HIM want to stop . So I thought if I broke it on my own I won't have that problem . I read on another page that if you can stick your finger in , the hymen is gone ; I can do that but I'm not sure if that even true . Can someone PLEASE explain how you can tell if you don't have a hymen anymore ?
