You will be shocked to know the real use of "hymen"

In the eyes of many people, the much-valued hymen actually does not bring any benefits to men, and only brings constraints and endless criticism to women. The hymen has become the only criterion for testing virginity, while its other functions have been drowned out by the vast amount of human discussion about "virginity" and "non-virginity". In fact, the function of the hymen is not just to test virginity.

1. Protect the female reproductive system

Women already have their own vaginal protective barrier - the hymen - during their development in the mother's body. For girls who are still in the process of puberty, their hymen has actually been silently making contributions to their puberty.

Before puberty, women's vaginas can hardly effectively prevent the invasion of various bacteria due to physiological reasons such as less hormones in the ovaries, thin vaginal mucosa, fewer wrinkles, low acidity, and weak resistance. At this time, the hymen, which is not far from the vulva, gloriously took on the mission of "expelling the Tartars" and played an outstanding role in the subsequent blocking battles.

Of course, after female puberty, as the vagina gradually matures and its ability to resist bacteria is greatly enhanced, the hymen loses its original status, and its only way out becomes retirement.

2. Used to select strong men

The protective function of the hymen, "used to select the stronger men", was more prominent in primitive society.

It is said that the society at that time was so open that "sex" was not considered a private matter like it is today. People run around in vast grasslands or dense jungles every day, eating, sleeping, having sex, etc. all on the spot. Now the question arises, since the issue of "sex" was not a problem at that time, it means that men and women can mate freely. However, due to the extremely low survival rate of humans at the time, nature imposed restrictions on human mating behavior, which was to add a hymen to women.

The function of the hymen is to block all kinds of invasions on women by the old, young, sick and disabled. The meaning is that these old, young, sick and disabled people cannot have sex with women through the hymen smoothly, thus providing a powerful image for those strong men and making unremitting efforts for the "survival of the fittest" of human beings.
