This isn't as completely crazy as it seems. In some (insert appropriate adjectives like "ridiculously primitive" here) cultures, a woman has to be able to "prove" her virginity by bleeding at first intercourse. Engaging in active sports can apparently cause this first blood to be shed elsewhere, causing her to no longer be verifiably a virgin, despite, unquestionably by all reasonable measures, actually *being* a virgin.
