“Hymen” the value of Anthropology
Each of the genitals unmarried woman, a thin majority of the hymen. If genital exposure can be observed that the hymen is vaginal mouth edge of the layer of semi-closed ring-shaped membrane folds, it is the central hole, the hole in the shape of a figure and a half months, the round-hole, oval-like, sieve-like, about the thickness of 2 mm. Hymen also rich in blood vessels and nerve endings.
Usually, the majority of women living in a one-time, because there will be “immediately collapsed,” causing vaginal bleeding mouth, commonly known as a “see red” and the “leaves”; After sex life with the increase in the number of vaginal mouth gradually changed, because there also will be eliminated. However, a very small number of women born without hymen; There are very few women hymen no pores, as “stone woman,” which is to be “holes” operation, otherwise they will be the accumulation of menstrual blood and affect their health.
Historical experience shows that there are very few female adult lives in Anaheim. Anthropologists in New Guinea some considerable freedom of marriage primitive tribes were found and most beautiful, smart, capable women, often quite a lot and the pursuit of sexual partners; While some looks ugly, physical deformities and even women, although the pursuit of less, but also will give birth to female infertility . In other words, all the hymen mature women, because men and women will combine arrival was broken, leaving only a residual deformation of objects. So, from the perspective of the theory of evolution, because there seems to be a superfluous organ; From a biological perspective, it is sexual life.
Sexual life should be both emotional embrace the joyful experience, the presence of the hymen clearly affect its formation. However, the nature rarely produce useless organ, with a decline into nature is an important criteria. Since the sexual life of the man hymen is no advantage to the woman will bring a lot of suffering, then why should it exist? This contemporary anthropologists a “protection” and “selection” both theory.
Protection of holding this position anthropologists that the hymen of women’s reproductive systems and even physical play a protective role. It covers the male genital circumcision, is a Evils Prevention invasion and the protection of the barrier membrane. The lack of guards in front of the vagina, which can prevent urine into the vagina. Human childhood era of primitive society, the woman is not wearing clothes, in their pants up surrounded an animal skins, open aprons easily dust, bacteria invasion. Girls and the vaginal wall is thin, and ovary development is not yet ripe. Therefore, the presence of the hymen, to prevent bacteria invasion, with the protection of the reproductive system, ensuring women’s reproductive capacity, is of great significance.
However, the hymen after menarche, and the man’s foreskin on the same useless, but the sex life has become a barrier. In favor of “protection” and the anthropologist also believe that in the past 18 years, the girls have no physical maturation, it is very hypertrophy hymen, it is a start to avoid premature sex life of the warning device. Modern medical information shows that women start early sex life, it is easy for cervical infection and cervicitis even lead to cervical cancer. Hymen exactly played a preventive role. Because to a man, to the immature and young girls, young girls sexually active, it will be difficult to overcome the still very tenacious natural protective coating; For young girls, girls speaking, premature sex life will bring considerable physical suffering.
A large number of medical survey shows that the ruptured hymen, 2 / 3 of women would “hurt” and “see red.” Young girls, young girls raped in Unfortunately, ruptured hymen, it is often the eyewitness said there will be pain; Adult women, if voluntary and the people were in love sex, ideologically prepared ruptured hymen pain when will this connection if time intercourse to orgasm, many women which will therefore find it very pleasant and cheerful.
Choosing between the holding of such theories anthropologists believe that the main function of the hymen is the choice of men strong, good for the sperm into the vagina pregnancy.
As we all know, in the primitive era, the human form of marriage is more free and open, without any age restrictions, no more men of origin constraints, the integration of considerable randomness. While the presence of the hymen, which can prevent infirm and sexual dysfunction of young girls to occupation. This can reduce or prevent reproductive health of the future generations do not have to choose strong evolutionary significance. We know that physical and sexual function between a certain relevance, the sick and the elderly weak physical, sexual function are low. The presence of the hymen has become a test of functional barriers. Broken “off”, is the strong, can be left to future generations of their genes; Not into the “off”, is often weak, or no less spread their genes opportunities. Both of the above theoretical viewpoint there is a certain reason. However, the natural choice is that the two reasons which of the? Or is it two reasons played a role in common? Need more powerful proof. Perhaps there is a certain natural deviation of this small human organs, should have no meaningful only for the feudal patriarchal ideology, might need to impose some of its so-called scientific value — like some vain attempt to suppress, abuse of women, to impose some sort of “unwarranted “the same moral significance.
It can be said that due to the concept of human reason, and because the hymen triggered numerous screen make future progress of mankind puzzling tragicomedy. Many of the women were killed or committed suicide, many suffering or marriage breakdown, the chief culprit is this layer of ordinary film! All this in the context of modern culture has lost its significance as modern society women’s personality performance is increasing.
