Your Question:
Dear Experts,
is it true that a girl can regain her virginity in 7 years if she has already had sex and is it true that a guy can re gain his virginity in 5 to 7 months?

The Answer:
Dear Bbgrl31703,
No, this is a myth. Virginity means never having had sex. People may define "sex" differently. Most people agree that women and men lose their virginity the first time they have penile-vaginal intercourse. Many people also believe that people who have sex with someone of the same sex can lose their virginity through oral or anal intercourse. Some also believe that people have to give consent to lose their virginity — that virgins who are raped, for example, do not lose their virginity. But regardless, there is no way to "regain" virginity, no matter how long someone goes without having sexual intercourse.
Hope this information helps!
Take care,
