I must say that it sounds very interesting. It sounds absolutely great. I didn't know there were any other women with septate hymens. I too had one before I lost my virginity. It was very annoying and sometimes painful. I tended to shy away from tampons because of the discomfort that it caused when it became stuck. I did not have mine operated on. It just tore once when I was having sex. The pain was excrutiating but I did enjoy it somewhat.
