In my family, it’s neither accepted nor allowed for a girl to not be a virgin before marriage.
I don’t know how intercourse works, and I’m afraid of it.
I feel that the hymen itself is shackling and imprisoning me.
According to my family, nothing is as important as keeping it intact.
And even though it’s intact, I always feel like they’re suspicious of me.
And waiting for the day to come when I’ll get married and prove to them that it’s not broken.
Don’t you all think about anything else?!
I really want to be done with it.
I thought about breaking it myself, but I got scared.
