Does Masturbation Cause Broken Hymen?
Hi I have been masturbating since I was young, very young. haha. But I masturbate rubbing only my clit. I never put anything in my vagina, but recently, I got so horny that I almost put my finger into it, but the thing is, I never saw blood. But still, i am anxious about it. Could it break my hymen? See, virginity always relies on the unbroken hymen and I really want to be virgin before marriage. follow-up question, i masturbate almost every day. Is it good?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Hymen can break due to mechanical trauma.
Mechanical trauma can arise from penis while having penetrative sex or during masturbation with any mechanical device.
Thus, hymen can break during masturbation also, however, breaking of hymen accompanied by bleeding.
Absence of bleeding rules out rupture of hymen.
Masturbation is a mechanical process and is harmless even if done daily but risk of rupture of hymen is always there.
Thanks and take care
