My Corona: the Anatomy Formerly Known as the Hymen and the Myths that Surround It.

Often known by the established term “hymen,” the vaginal corona is the subject of many myths and misunderstandings. The most important of these is the notion that a the vaginal opening is covered by a membrane that ruptures with vaginal sex. This is incorrect. There is no such membrane.

From a brilliant post courtesy of the RFSU (Swedish Association for Sexuality Education) over at Scarleteen. Be sure to read the rest here.
