Affliction and Life Difficulty

So, it is my greatest hope to finish Rebirth and Affliction by the end of January or February at the latest. Not really all that far out, and as I head towards that and then go into the final book, Affliction and Life: Breaking Dawn Reimagined, I come to a surprisingly annoying challenge.

It is my plan to have the final story rated M. I have thought about this for quite awhile and while I could leave it rated T as Breaking Dawn was, I want it to be more mature. So I have an issue because of that.

In the original Twilight Saga we know Edward was a virgin when he was turned, which isn't a huge issue, because he's a dude. Of the female vampires in the original Cullen family, we know Rosalie was raped before she was turned, Esme was married and even had a child before she was turned, and though details about Alice's human life are limited it is easy to assume she was raped either by her father or one of the doctors in the asylum where she was sent. Obviously we know Bella wasn't a virgin when she was turned. Other vampires in the Twilight Saga we don't know enough about to truly guess with the regards to that topic.

In Life and Death, we have Eleanor, Jessamine, and Carine. Purportedly, Carine was the devout religious daughter of her priest father, but she wasn't a nun. And a 23 year old woman in the mid 1600s would have already been married. Perhaps she had had a brief marriage to a man who came down with something like black plague and died leaving her as a widow and returning to her father's care. Or any other number of possibilities. But no matter what, I can't see her as being a virgin when she was turned. Eleanor, we know less about, but she is the female version of Emmett, and I always saw Emmett as being sexually active before he was turned, so I assume the same could be said for his female counterpart. Then there's Jessamine, and my best guess is the male vampire who kidnapped her raped her when he turned her.

So all of this leaves me with Edythe, who by all accounts is a virgin. It makes sense since she was a 17 year old girl in 1918. She may or may not have already had a suitor taking her out on escorted dates, and she may have even had a chaste kiss or two on her lips when she was human if she did have a suitor (obviously forgotten after she was turned) but that would be as far as her sexual prowess would have likely gone.

The problem with her still being a virgin is this little thing called a hymen. And by all accounts, the only way to prevent a vampire from healing is to burn it ... which sounds seriously uncomfortable.

Now, the reality is that in spite of hundreds - if not thousands - of romance novels who show men breaking a woman's hymen their first time together, it is extremely easy for it to have broke before then even when the woman is a virgin. So, did Edythe go horseback riding and suffer from a hard bounce as a child? Or perhaps as a Chicago native, the home of Schwinn Bicycles, she had a bike and suffered damage to her genitalia while riding?

Or perhaps when she was turned to a vampire, the venom naturally destroyed that part of the flesh as there's no true purpose for a hymen?

Or do we go with the Jessica effect? (For those who don't get the reference, please go look up Jessica from True Blood - the show, not the books) ... And if I'm going with this route than this fourth story really needs a new new title. I.E. Comedy and Errors: A Bad Breaking Dawn Parody.
