Weird skin covering the hole a bit, advice?

So to make myself a bit more clear I just did a tacky doodle on a illustration ( I uploaded it as adult content on postimg )

The blue triangle is where the weird skin is, so as you can see it's partially covering my hole but it isn't a thin skin like the hymen is supposed(?) to be and more of a thicker "regular" skin, me and my boyfriend have just started to try to insert but it doesn't quite work, partly I guess I'm tight since I've never been with a man before but also this skin hurts to much, is this something normal or not? I know the first time could hurt but this piece of skin feels more like ripping your own skin instead of "virgin pain" if that makes sense, it's in the way of properly stretching, when I've used fingers it's easy to insert, if I push up and to the sides it's no pain at all but if I push just a little bit down it hurts due to this skin.

Hi there, I want to start off by thanking you for raising an important subject. Often we aren't taught about common issues to do with our bodies that a lot of us may face (I am still discovering new things about my own & I aged 33).

I feel the need to stress that I can only go off my own experiences here, but that it does mirror yours quite closely. My hymen remained partially in tact for the first few times I had sex & as you say, this can be quite painful! After a time it disappeared completely & there was a not inconsiderate amount of blood which took us both by surprise, but astonishingly did not hurt.

I believe like most things, the thickness of hymen's varies from girl to girl. I had friends who simply noticed there's weren't there one day despite never taking part in any sexual activities which at the time, I found very difficult to understand with mine being so resolutely stubborn!

If in doubt, then of course visit your Doctor who will be able to advise you in a way best tailored for you. Take care!

So it is a hymen? I thought it was something else since it's outside the hole and attatched to the inner lips, it's not attached to the hole itself at all.

These diagrams in the link may help?

@AffyAvo Unfortunatly those weren't of help, all of those are inside the hole, mine is outside, it's like a normal piece of skin and not a membrane.

Hey! Looking at the image you have provided us, you might be addressing the navicular fossa, also called fossa of vestibule of vagina, which is a depression beneath (outside) the vagina/hymen. It can be covered by the Guérin fold (or valve of navicular fossa), which is a fold of mucous membrane attached to the navicular fossa, matching the blue triangle you have marked.

There is generally nothing wrong with that, but if it is causing you any (especially persistent) pain or concerns, consulting your doctor/gynaecologist might be worth considering. Also, especially when first exploring intercourse, some discomfort just might be present - that's a pretty common experience that tends to be wonderfully approachable through communication with your partner and taking sufficient time and care.

Good luck! smiley
