It depends on culture a great deal. In some countries/societies (parts of Africa and the Middle East especially) if a woman is found not to be "virgo intacta" at marriage she can be killed by her family or her husbands family.
Pretty motivating to get the surgery, don't you think?

I've also heard of labia reduction because of stretching after childbirth. I wonder if there is such a thing as labia augmentation to replace possibly missing tissue? Haven't seen anything about this yet on the Plastic Surgery station on satellite.:p

Yea I have heard of the hymen reconstruction on that show DR 90210 LOL
but yes it was a middle eastern lady who had been in the states to go to university. she did not want to return home having lost her virginity, b/c like you said, it could have dire consequences. I do not however see the average "American" teenager having this done just to prove a point.

From your previous post Dario:

You still don't trust her???:cool:

Thank you, Luv

Dario, your hangup on whether or not your girlfriend is virgin is, at least, annoying and chauvinistic. You will never really know as she will really know about your sexual history. That is the way it is; get used to it.

If you search "labial surgery" you will find plastic surgery clinics that specialize in female genitaalia. There is valid reason for some of this surgery but its growth in the last few years indicates women are as vain about our bottoms as our tops. Included in the services provided is hymen restoration therapy. Culturally, this must be important to some societies. The hymen may be replaced but the experience cannot be erased. After all the trouble I went to get rid of mine several years ago, I do not know why anyone would want it back.

I have heard of this surgery too, but why anyone would go through with it is beyond me.

You know, the hymen can break for any number of reasons - sex only being one of them. Girls can break their hymen from something as simple as exercise. Some girls are not even born with hymens intact. Personally, I don't think that there is ANY way that you can identify whether someone is a virgin or not physically based on these factors.

I didn't read your other post but I think you should simply trust your GF's words. If she says she's a virgin, trust her on it. If you can't trust her, then you shouldn't be with her, imo.

learn some trust

As Brandye mentioned before, you have a lousy attitude. You have to trust her about this. Besides, if you dont plan on marrying her (You've been dating 2 months?) why would you care if she's a virgin?

He believes he cares because of a huge ego. (It's a guy thing that seems a bit out of whack with him.)

I mentioned a month or more ago in my reply to your first question that in western societies determining virginity is mostly by truthful declaration. If the person has engaged in intercourse, repairing or replacing the hymen via a medical procedure will not turn back the clock. Once a woman has experienced intercourse, she is no longer a virgin and no manner of cosmetic surgery is going to change what is.

What I fail to understand is why you would want to subject a person to this cosmetic surgery and then jab her with the pointy end of your penis and cause her even more pain and discomfort. If you are still around, please enlighten me. I am also curious who will pay for the proposed medical procedure?
