Hello, can you explain, can a hymen be broken by masturbation? Objects have never been inserted. Can I see it by myself?

Question

I'm not sure what you seem to think is necessary before it qualifies as masturbation, but i'm guessing you might think it needs to include some form of penetration. However, masturbation that doesn't involve penetration is less likely to cause any changes to your hymen, assuming yours is still there and intact. Of course, many hymens are affected by such things as gymnastics, horse riding, tampon use, etc. So they are not a reliable indicator of a girl?s virginity anyway. If you are unable to view your hymen like this, then use your middle finger and insert gently inside the opening. If you feel pain till the middle most knuckle of the finger, then you have the hymen, if it does not pain till that then it means it is broke.
