Is it possible to get pregnant if the scenario of my second portion of my first question (fooling around ejaculation)is the same except the female has never broken that protective barrier that I forget the technical term for. No tampons, no sex, no anything else that could be inserted. So is it still possible?
zoe. answered Monday December 15 2003, 4:41 pm: the hymen isnt a protective barrier. its a just a small peice of skin left over from when the fetus begins to form either a vulva (the genital area splits apart) or testicles (and stays together). some women dont even have a hymen to begin with, and some womens' are thicker or thinner than others.
so yes, absolutely. [ zoe.'s advice column | Ask zoe. A Question ]

You are talking about they Hymen. This is a thin membrane that covers the vaginal opening. However, there is generally some opening, or else you couldn't have a period. It can also be ruptured through active sports, and some girls are born without one.
At any rate, you can most certainly get pregnant with or without the hymen.
