Question: What purpose does the hymen function!?
This might be an ignorant question, but why do women have these things!? The only thing they seem to do is either get torn early on before sex or they cause pain on a woman's first time!.

The physiological purpose of the hymen is one of the eternal mysteries of women's bodies!. Although it doesn't seem to have a specific function, it's thought that hymen tissue remains as a vestige of vaginal development!. Embryologically, it tended to keep germs and dirt out of the vagina!. In infants and children, the hymen can serve a protective purpose by helping to prevent things from being pushed into the vagina; sometimes, a damaged hymen is looked at as an indicator of abuse and incest!. Throughout history, there have been cultures that forbid sexual activity outside of marriage; some of these have considered an "intact" hymen "proof" of purity!. This connection continues to have a psychological and cultural impact today!.
