This myTake is going to be short and to the point, and if you don't know what "popping your cherry" means, it basically is a slang for breaking your hymen.
One of the most annoying sex myths I came across, is that people automatically coming to the conslusion that you have to break the hymen to actually have sex (and no longer be a virgin). Well guess what, you don't lose it, it doesn't pop and it definitely shouldn't bleed. And if it does, then you're doing it wrong.
It's not a pointless strip of flesh, it protects the vagina, and when it's time for sex, it becomes flexible enough to stretch away from the vaginal opening.
You don't just push through it. If your well lubricated, it shouldn't tear and you definitely don't lose it. Ever.
It doesn't have to regenerate because it doesn't go anywhere.
The hymen automatically retracts during periods of sexual inactivity, which is why it can hurt sometimes if you have sex after a long period of dry spell.
All the myths surrounding the hymen, make losing your virginity sound like much more scarier than it really is. It doesn't have to hurt and you don't have to physically lose a part of yourself.
