Like A Virgin

2014 • E33 Sep 29, 2014 60m"I know that my hymens have passed inspection in Australia and overseas and not been detected." – Les Blackstock, cosmetic surgeon
Les Blackstock is proud of his reconstructed hymens.
He says women request them for all sorts of reasons: because they have had pre-marital sex, they are victims of rape, or they "want to achieve a sense of a clean slate".
He’s not the only Australian medical professional involved in virginity matters.
Dr Wafa Samen, a Sydney-based gynaecologist, issues doctor’s certificates in English and in Arabic certifying that a hymen is intact.
As part of Insight’s celebration of ten years as a forum, this week we revisit our program from 2013 on virginity: who wants to keep it, who wants to get rid of it, and who’s trying to fake it?
