Russian Woman In Critical Condition After Sixth Hymen Replacement Surgery

What an asshole.
Natalia K., identified only by her first name and surname initial, has been hospitalized after her sixth hymen replacement surgery in Russia. The woman had her first surgery prior to marrying her husband, as he was disappointed and outraged that she was not a virgin. After the surgery, her husband decided that her surgery was becoming a fetish and wanted her to “refresh” a bit each year that they were married. Natalia K. signed up for five subsequent surgeries thereafter. However, this time, she has been re-hospitalized due to a “minor infection” and is now in intensive care. Sounds like a real minor infection to me, right?
After her fifth hymen replenishment surgery, doctors advised the poorly misled woman that after so many of these particular surgeries (and probably cosmetic surgeries of any kind, really), she would be at a higher risk for a swift, problem-free recovery.
Why this woman allowed her husband to dictate her self-worth (because yes, ladies and gentlemen, that’s precisely what it all boils down to) is beyond me. If a man refused to marry me due to prior partners, even if it were just one, as this woman claims, I’d tell him to hit the high road to hell on a bicycle with no seat. If a man doesn’t love you, accept you and cherish you for the person and the hymen that you are, he’s not much of a man.
Who knows whether or not Natalia K. actually complied with these requests because she felt the need to do so or if it was due to her husband’s demanding ways, but either way, I’m sure they’re both pretty sorry now. One would hope that a lesson would be learned by this point, at any rate.
Fuck virginity. Seriously. What an outdated, overrated, and unnatural state.
WooHoo!! I lost my virginity on the way home from school one day. Didn’t miss it for a second.
I lost my virginity before my dad. You figure it out!
Nope. I need more from you on this one!
It’s an old Chuck Norris joke.
“Chuck Norris lost his virginity before his dad.”
haha! Ok…
I’m not a fan of those hymen surgeries either (it’s pretty creepy, actually, to see how much worth is given to a tiny little piece of flesh that you don’t systematically get when you’re born, that can break without an actual loss of virginity, or that can be still be there when you’re no longer a virgin, for instance with people who have a sex life without vaginal penetration). But I can’t help but wonder: if Natalia had 6 surgeries to tighten her vagina (after births for instance) before getting in the state she’s in, would she have gathered as much press?
That would miss the point. This surgery is about replenishing her purity.
Although I’m sure there would be talk about how stupid she was for not waiting until she was done having kids.
Purity?What is she? A bottle of water?
Apparently. Just rinse her out and refill her…
It’s not about “resplenishing” anything (note the quote marks on the “replenish” above). It’s about fulfilling a fetish for her husband, who seemed to enjoy the act of breaking hymens. He’s well placed to know that his wife is no longer a virgin! (Besides, if ‘true’ virginity is so ‘valued’, it’s -among a ton of other more or less questionable reasons- because it’s a state that can only be ‘lost’ once)
Damn, so many quote marks. I’m getting dizzy!
He new she wasn’t a virgin the first time too, but insisted on breaking her hymen then.
I think it’s probably more of a symbolic thing for him than actually enjoying tearing the hymen.
…doctors advised the poorly misled woman that after so many of these particular surgeries she would be at a higher risk for a swift, problem-free recovery.”
… Well if that’s the case, I will take seven surgeries. If each one gives me a higher chance of recovering well, why not!?
I will never understand all the hymen business, its-only-a-damn-membrane
yes, and her husband is an idiot too
It was -sorry, still is- a way for men to make sure that they were the first one to sleep with a woman. It allowed them to be sure that their (at least the first) offspring would be theirs (as if a woman couldn’t run to another man as soon as she married…) and I guess that it made them feel more secure because wifey wouldn’t compare them to other men. Sprinkle a bit of “her woman of me, no one else touch woman of me, woman mine” gruntings on top, wrap with a few layers of religion to add a varnish of respectability, and you get all that… hymen fetishing.
I’ve never really understood the whole “virgin” thing…the ONLY good thing about being with a virgin (of either sex) is the you can be -almost- entirely sure you’re not going to catch something. That aside, I don’t really see why in this day and age we care about something so arbitrary as virginity. Hell, I have friends who “lost their virginity” (in the hymenal sense) to things like bicycle seats and gymnastics class. Then again, I don’t really have any sexual mores, so maybe I’m not the best person to make value judgments about virginity.
Why would a woman go through this? I mean… without being experienced in the male/female sex do you actually feel a *pop*? Is there a difference between a hymened vagina and a hymen-free vagina?
i was 18 when i lost my virginity, and i guess my hymen had not been broken so for me there was a small “pop”. even though my bf was a sweet guy, it was pretty painful, as i recall, and there was some bleeding. the overall experience sucked: we were drunk, i didn’t enjoy it and we didn’t know what we were doing.
i got alot better at it, though ;)
That surgery would be great if they could legally “refresh” his brain with a lobotomy. What an asshole is right. I hope he gets Erectile Disfunction and Cialis won’t work. Guys like this blow.
On a side note do you remember losing your virginity? If it was anything like most peoples it was fucking awkward, why the hell would you want to revisit that over and over again?
oh man the only bad thing about how i lost my virginity was the douchebag i lost it to.
horny + low self esteem + douchebag = misery.
i agree with tony moshenelli, what an asshole. to base a woman’s worth on a tiny piece of membrane is degrading. i would have given him a good kick in the balls.
I had an awesome time losing my virginity, actually.
But yeah, these people are messed up.
Me losing my virginity was pretty good.. bu that doesn’t mean I want to do it again.. it hurt like hell, bleeded and all the bad stuff… I don’t know why someone would accept being submitted to a fetish like that… besides all the recovery time before it’s safe.. they probably spent more time waiting for him to be able to “pop her cherry” again then actually doing it…
at the end of the article you said: “I’m sure they’re both pretty sorry now”. I say: “I sure HOPE they are!”
It is a different culture there. We can’t compare it to what we, as young American women, would do. Unfortunately not all of the world wants equality for men and women.
I lost my “real” virginity to rape as a pre-schooler, so I’ve never understood the whole hymen-preoccupation some people have. I always regarded it as unfair, because I didn’t have a choice.
Because I was already technically not a virgin, I didn’t feel the “I MUST BE DEFLOWERED” compulsion alot of my friends felt in high-school. I guess that’s a good thing? I lost my consensual virginity last week, this summer after my freshman year of college. No blood, no pain, no pesky intact hymen, just pleasure.
The hymen (or lack thereof) is meaningless, in my opinion. I resent that mine was destroyed by force, but I’ve never wanted it back. Natalia K.’s husband must just have, like the post says, a “fetish” for it. I don’t understand; there are easier, less expensive ways to make someone bleed, if that’s what he’s after. ; )
That poster disturbs me greatly. They’re telling women that the women themselves don’t feel feminine without a hymen. I loathe how societies across the world try to control women’s feelings of self-value by the catch-22 of never having had intercourse.
I don’t get the big hymen deal either. It would just get the sheets all bloody. Yuck
It doesn’t sound appealing to me, either, but I guess some guys find blood sexy (I’ve never experienced a guy like that, but my sister has). Personally, my husband won’t even have sex with me in the shower when I’m having a light period day, so there’s no way a new hymen would turn him on (thank God!).
SOUnds like her husband is the “minor infection”
Losing my virginity–even though it was with the love of my life–was quite painful and really messy. WHY would anyone want to go through that more than once?
That lady should have kicked her husband to the curb the moment he started pressuring her to have the surgery.
Wow- what a controlling, sexist, abusive, AWFUL husband. And that ad as well- “feel feminine again?” You’re not feminine if your hymen isn’t intact? WTF? So many ridiculous things about this.
