Apparently, there's surgery to unbreak the hymen of women so that they can count as a virgin again.
Do people not understand having an unbroken hymen and being a virgin are a correlation, not an equation?

No, they do not understand pretty much anything that is biology-related. Or physics, math, etc.

I suppose you could say the same thing about breast implants (or any other kind of cosmetic surgery) in the pursuit for greater attractiveness. That the physical portion being modified is correlated to attractiveness, but ultimately not the cause.

Do people go around glancing at other people's hymens, because otherwise I'm not getting the similarity.

Certain people don't understand that it's a correlation, and take "virginity" very seriously.  Some people may have broken hymens (for one of the many reasons that can happen) and want to appease such backward people.

It's not a common test, but it can be a very important test for some people.

From what I have read is more a con thing than to being or feeling "virgin again". Is used as a way to deceive the future husband that the bride haven't had sex with anyone before.

I'm sure this discussion is going to go off the rails, but you probably shouldn't be deceiving your impending spouse about something you know is a huge hang up or a deal-breaker for them in regards to getting married. Just be like hey, I ain't a virgin, if that's a problem, we don't need to be together. Also, you might be sort of a dick for caring so much about that, but anyway goodbye.

Unless this is one of those "oh you're not a virgin well I guess we kill you now" cultures. Pretend hymens save lives.

Yeah, unless it's a matter of life and death, don't lie to your spouse.
A marriage where you feel the need to lie to your spouse is probably not a healthy one.

Businesses that require online applications through their websites. And their websites/application processes are always so bad. Just awful. They will drop your connection in the middle of filling out applications, not save your login information or applications successfully so you can't go back and find it again, require filling out additional surveys through third-party websites that require registration. They often require you to fill in the same information multiple times. How the fuck do they expect to fill these positions if their websites they require you to apply through dont fucking work!?

And the baby will not sleep. It's nap time and he is in his crib in the room next to me with this paper thin wall between us just SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS because mom isn't there. Only wants mom, nobody else can comfort him. Why cannot baby sleep on his own? Why must you scream while uncle is trying to workwasting hours on applications that are disappearing into the ether?

Colic newborn was the goddam worst thing that we've ever dealt with.

Sometimes we just had to literally hold him and comfort him for hours until he went to sleep.

You can buy vibrating baby rockers! I think it's been shown that they've got some side effects that aren'tnt the best for kids, but it would immediately quiet down my friend's kid when she was colicky.

I think the point of that surgery is that they're going to get married so they get that wedding-night experience as if it's their first time. And obviously if you just got surgery you're not going to use it for a while so the experience would be heightened. I guess it's possible they could be lying to their new partner about being a virgin, but really who cares? They're free to lie about that and it's nobody else's business. Lying about being a virgin implies they're planning to be their for the longterm, people don't lie about being a virgin for casual sex.

My kid absolutely loved his little vibrating buggy. He got pissed as hell when he outgrew it, though.
