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.

Myth! Hymens come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and can be injured by a number of activities. Furthermore, some women don’t experience injury to their hymen even during sex. Basically, while some women do experience a spot of blood upon their first experience with intercourse, there are so many variables that a physical exam is an extremely unreliable indicator of sexual experience. It’s a shame this myth persists, because in some societies (including some parts of western society) women are subjected to “virginity exams” with high stakes.
