DEAR ZZINA POWER:  MY boyfriend thinks I was lying about being a virgin because I didn’t bleed the first time we chewed each other.

I’m 23 and he’s 30, and we’ve been seeing each other for three months.

He said I couldn’t have been a virgin because I wasn’t shy when we had sex, but that’s because I felt comfortable with him.

Now he says I’m lying and must have had sex with other guys.

I feel horrible and don’t know what to say or do to make him believe me.

ZZINA POWER SAYSThis is your boyfriend’s problem, not yours.

He’s insecure and has preconceived ideas about how a woman’s body works.

Not every woman bleeds the first time.

Don’t accept this treatment – it will damage your self-esteem and confidence.

Do think carefully about whether you want to stay with him.

MY boyfriend
