Charlie, I think you might be confusing the hymen and the cervix. I can't imagine what a penis too short to reach the hymen would look like. Inverted?

What about those instances where a man's penis is too small to reach the hymen? I think these things follow a normal distribution. For every John Holmes there is a 2" partner. If you marry one of these, do you die?

So if you're caught using one of these rather icky devices, you should be put to death by the state. And if you don't bleed on your wedding night, you should be put to death by your family.

Given that bleeding has nothing whatsoever to do with whether or not you've had intercourse before, and many virgins don't bleed the first time, it's not surprising that women go to great lengths to assure blood on the sheet.

It's why so many women, even virgins, go to clinics to get a stitch or two put into their hymen to insure bleeding. Hymen repair clinics have been doing this work all over the Middle East and beyond for a long time – and charging up to thousands of dollars for it. Why isn't the guy ranting about the clinics and the doctors who perform the surgery? Maybe he's being put up to this by these clinics, pissed off they're losing business to a product you can get for $14.99 plus shipping.

But I doubt it. They actually perform a very valuable service – even if they're often ripping women off to do it. Maybe when it's 'legal' for women to be sexually active, they won't have to go to any crazy lengths to prove something that unprovable.

Ummmm.... Why didn't the engineer just design a female implantable device? Complaints/cries of woe about the cultural implications aside... it just seems that when designing something to fool a man into thinking he's having sex with a virgin, the last place you want to do is require he apply it. A better design would be an implantable device with a bladder which can be punctured when triggered. Design the trigger to be activated by either muscle contraction or "impact". Include a removable "safety" to ensure it doesn't pop before sex. Only problem is device recovery.

Why don;t we jsut go back to the Hassidic practice of the father of the bride buyine a chicken, slitting its throat and staining the bride's bed sheet (the chicken blood is said to most resemble the natural product}. Everyone was happy. The bride got to test drive her intended (or just a local hottie), the dad could run thru the streets with his daughter's purity on display for all to see and the chicken seller could raise his prices just before the wedding of a girl well known to be in need of his services, thus raising farm income! Of course we need to make sure that the chicken is raised cage free!

God damn what a giant mess of sad.

I've always thought women in these countries should try to align their wedding with their cycles.

It is unbelievable to me that this still exists in 2000 effing 9.

I'm looking for a silver lining here. On the plus side, couples that want to have kinky schoolgirl/virginity fantasies have a new tool...

...yea I'm not even buying that. This is sad.
