12

Drugim rečima, ako nema krvi
na posteljini nakon čina,
01:02
then the womanжена was simplyједноставно not a virginдевица.
13

onda žena jednostavno nije bila devica.
01:06
The secondдруго mythmit is a logicalлогичан

Drugi mit je logičan nastavak drugog.
01:11
SinceOd the hymenhimen is thought

U stvari...
06:12
it's more like this --
103

The hymenhimen is a rimnaplatak of tissueткиво

105
366437

Himen predstavlja obod tkiva

06:24
And usuallyобично, it has a doughnutPrstenasti

106

But this variesvarira a lot,
108
379855

Ali ovo puno varira,
06:33
and sometimesпонекад hymenshymens can have fringesрубови,
109
381331
3436
i ponekad himeni mogu imati rubove,
06:36
it can have severalнеколико holesрупе,
110

112
390696

Drugim rečima, himeni se
prirodno veoma razlikuju po izgledu
06:47
and that is what makesчини it so hardтешко
to do a virginitynevinost checkпровери.
113

i zbog toga je teško obaviti
