Misty Leah @MistyLeah Adult Sex Education
The hymen, or more accurately the vaginal corona, is a stretchy piece of tissue that's most likely a remnant from fetal development.
This mucous membrane may be tightly or loosely folded. It could be slightly pink, almost transparent, or if its thicker it may look a paler or whitish. It might be insignificant or even completely absent at birth.
It can be lots of things but it isn't the boundary between guilt and pleasure that it's so often assumed to be.
Comprehensive sexuality education is important for a whole range of reasons. Providing accurate information about bodies, that's removed from sociocultural ideas of purity and acceptability is at its core. This means unpacking where the myth of the hymen came from and who that myth has served (hint it wasn't for the benefit of people with vaginal coronas!!).
Sexuality education is a social justice issue.
