Why hymen is so necessary? The majority of scientists only shrug shoulders in reply to this question. Only humans, apes and some kinds of antelopes have hymen. Its purpose is absolutely not clear, though nature never creates anything “simply so”. There is a point of view, that hymen is a rudimentary organ which has remained during evolutionary changes. Some researchers consider that it is necessary for maintaining a virginal cleanliness. Really, after tearing a hymen the microflora in a vagina essentially changes and is occupied by bacteria more plentifully.
Ilya Mechnikov has offered an interesting hypothesis: people during the early period of the existence entered the sexual relations in very early age that is when the boy’s penis has not been quite developed yet. Hymen not only served as an obstacle to copulation, but even promoted sexual pleasure as it narrowed female vaginal aperture and adjusted it to a small male penis. Thus it was not torn, but gradually extended. In favor of this hypothesis speaks that fact, that many primitive people still get married at children’s age
