My girlfriend and I talked about sex last night and she told me that virginity is only a myth which refers to whether you have done it or not. She explains that it is only just an idea and it wouldn’t be possible to determine physically whether a woman had intercourse or not. The reason is that the hymen heals back and the vagina comes back to its natural shape even though it’s gone through intercourse or like giving birth.Some articles say to that hymen looks and has different forms in which it depends for every person. I can’t find anything on the net (or I just suck at finding) articles about how doing it for the first time vs second time would make a difference. I know that at the end of the day, it’s whether you both enjoyed it and did it with the person you wanted the most. But I am curious whether there would be a difference between doing it the first time and the second time, excluding the fact that the second time you know how to perform better and have the knowledge of what to do, unlike before.

If the hymen is not fully estrogenated, it can be torn or damaged, and that damaged can be observed.
After estrogenation, it is pretty useless. They can tear from a variety of reasons, they can stretch around an object and not tear.
Most “virginal” bleeding is actually a torn posterior fourchette, and those can heal and retear.
Virginity really, truly is a ridiculous construct and cannot reliably be determined after puberty. (Prior to puberty, inferences can be drawn about damage to the hymen, but they’re not entirely conclusive either.)
