Am I still a Virgin?

​Kathy Lowe is a mother, nurse and passionate educator on the correct information around the hymen.  What is a hymen?  Do I still have one?  If you break your hymen does it mean you are no longer a virgin?

There is much to learn about hymens.  Up until now, much of what we thought we knew about hymens was learnt from myths and unfortunately it still is.  As we think hymens have a lot to do with virginity, there is a lot to learn about this also.

​Kathy has had years of talking on this subject to a large number of different groups and genders.  Her talk is grass roots, easy to understand, and she can pretty much guarantee that if you think you already know about hymens and virginity you will still learn something from her talk.

Kathy uses some photographs of ‘genital anatomy’ in her talk.  She warns you when they are coming on the screen and invites you to look at them or not depending on how you feel.
