Self-penetration

Self penetration I assume is done by a woman or a man, by themselves. If you are *self* penetrating, then it is you who are placing the dildo/object inside of your own body. Most people do not consider this to be losing your virginity, as it is normally a form of self-exploration and masturbation.

If you are talking about lesbians, like two women having sex, and one of them uses a dildo on the other woman, then this would count as losing her virginity only if she wanted it to mean that.

The "classic" definition of losing one's virginity is that a penis enters the vagina.

People talk about many forms of virginity these days: oral, anal, and vaginal virginity. I won't go into all of that right now.

Ah, your use of numbers instead of proper words confused me, I think.

No, like I said before, inserting anything into yourself including fingers/dildos/fruit does not make you lose your virginity.

The issue here is over the breaking of the Hymen. Most girls are born with a hymen. It is a thin layer of skin that partially covers the entrance to the vagina. Most girls break it before they ever have sex, so the hymen does not represent virginity.

Yes, that is for sure. "Masturbation" and "sex" have different definitions. "Masturbation" is what you do to yourself. "Sex" is what you do with another person. A "virgin," by definition, is someone who has not had sex. Masturbation has nothing whatsoever to do with sex or virginity.

I will put this in bold for you.

You cannot lose your virginity through masturbation, no matter what you do to yourself. Even if you break your own hymen (which is very likely) you are still a virgin.

Virgins only lose their virginity when a penis goes inside of the vagina.

Have you had a penis inside your vagina?
If no, then you are a virgin.

I think you are confused about what the word "virginity" means. You are a virgin until you have sex with someone else. There is no other meaning of the word, and there is no other way to lose your virginity.

You might be confusing "virginity" with "hymen." A lot of people think girls are not virgins anymore once their hymen is torn, but that is not even close to being true. Most girls tear the hymens long before they have sex from using tampons, masturbating, or even running and jumping. None of that stuff has anything to do with sex or virginity though.
