Is that true or can I use a tampon? Any girl who has her period can use a tampon. Tampons work just as well for girls who are virgins as they do for girls who have had sex. And even though using a tampon can occasionally cause a girl's hymen to stretch or tear, it does not cause a girl to lose her virginity. Only having sex can do that. Whether a girl decides to use a tampon or a pad is completely up to her. Lots of girls who are active — and girls who enjoy going to the pool or beach — want to use tampons so they don't miss out.

How to Know if a Girl is a Virgin

Virginity is the state of a person who has never engaged in sexual intercourse. Like chastity , the concept of virginity has traditionally involved sexual abstinence. The concept of virginity usually involves moral or religious issues and can have consequences in terms of social status and in interpersonal relationships. The term virgin originally only referred to sexually inexperienced women, but has evolved to encompass a range of definitions, as found in traditional, modern and ethical concepts. The word virgin comes via Old French virgine from the root form of Latin virgo , genitive virginis , meaning literally "maiden" or " virgin " [11] —a sexually intact young woman or "sexually inexperienced woman". As in Latin, the English word is also often used with wider reference, by relaxing the age, gender or sexual criteria. In the latter usage, virgin means uninitiated. The Latin word likely arose by analogy with a suit of lexemes based on vireo , meaning "to be green, fresh or flourishing", mostly with botanic reference—in particular, virga meaning "strip of wood".

Jessica, a year-old who lives in Mississippi, was dating a guy recently when the subject of sexual history came up. Jessica said she immediately felt nervous. She'd had sex before, but because of her religious beliefs, had since been abstaining from sex. Sometimes it feels like it's ok for guys to do whatever, but if a girl says, no I'm not a virgin , we're looked at with more shame.
The average person has sex for the first time around age 17 , but some don't engage in intercourse until much later in life. Certain people intentionally abstain from sex while others, like Steve Carell's memorable character in "The 40 Year-Old Virgin," can't seem to make it happen. But what does it mean if you don't have sex until later in life? Though some people pride themselves on waiting until they're older maybe until marriage, or until a stable relationship to have sex, there is also a social stigma surrounding late in life virginity.
