What you believe about virginity is based on things you were taught or heard, and if it aligns with your religious beliefs.

For most people, virginity means never have had sex. The idea behind virginity is linked into the heterosexual life of a penis entering the vagina, which leads to a loss in virginity.

There are obviously some flaws in this way of thinking. For example, a lesbian who has never been with a man but with other women cannot always stay a virgin until she dies.

If a person who has just anal sex still considered a virgin if they never have vaginal sex? If you lost your keys, did you consciously lose them? Of course not. This is why changing how one talks about first-time sex acts is so important. Losing your virginity means someone took something from you. The key is to relax and have a good time. The hymen is not a piece of skin that hangs down on the inside of the vagina — to stop the penis from entering like guards protecting a castle from outsiders.

The hymen is just a membrane — a ring of tissue inside shaped similar to a donut. And, even a simple finger inside the vagina can cause it to break. If there were a blockage on the inside, it would make having a period impossible until that blockage was eliminated. A hymen stretches and creates openings during puberty.

Most women do not have an imperforate hymen at birth, which will block the vagina and needs surgery to correct it. This is not true, as the hymen is located just two centimeters within the vagina. A finger can go into the cervix and never break the hymen. All hymens are not the same as all vaginas are not the same. Therefore, each hymen may come in another size and shape.

What's most important is to understand what it means to you. Some people define being a virgin as never having had any kind of sex vaginal, anal, or oral. Others may say that being a virgin means never having had penile-vaginal sex, and that anal and oral sex don't count. Different people come to their own conclusions about what defines virginity, so consider deciding your criteria. In the first scenario it doesn't matter what other people might say in terms of virginity. The main point is that you decided you weren't ready to have sex yet.

You wanted to keep your virginity and wait until you are ready. If you want to consider yourself a virgin, that is totally your decision. As for "The boy," most people would probably consider your experience as sex. Sex with a condom is still sex. If you use a condom the first time you have sex, most people would consider this your "first time. Kudos to you for deciding to use a condom, whether you choose to call it sex or not.
