Because he is a silly immature little boy! You can only lose your virginity when a penis enters the vagina, therefore you are clearly still a virgin. And even if your hymen was intact, he would not "feel" it popping so to speak - there is nothing to 'pop'! The hymen is so thin it just tears therefore he would not have felt anything, there would have been pain for you and then a bit of blood, but it would not feel any different for him. It would just have felt tight, but then again it will feel tight each time he has sex with you for a while because you are a virgin!
So just tell him this - explain that he could not "feel" anything popping if he had sex with a woman with her hymen intact, it feels the exact same as having sex with any other woman. Tell him that having sex with ANY virgin, hymen or no hymen, feels the same as it is just very tight down there and he will still feel like he has to force it in a little harder than he would when having sex with anyone who is not a virgin. Tell him that this is just a silly idea that boys have that is not based on any truth whatsovever, and that if he does actually want sex with you then he will grow up and stop being so silly because you dont want to lose your virginity to a silly little boy.
In today's society, where more women use tampons and play sports (like horse riding, gymnastics etc) it is more and more common for the hymen to already be broken from a young age. Therefore fewer women make it to their late teens and early 20's with a hymen, so it is actually quite rate nowadays to have one.
He is being so immature by acting like this, if he doesnt accept he is being silly and gets over it then make sure you think long and hard about if he is the right guy to lose your virginity to - you want it to be with someone special who cares about you, not with someone who just wants to know how it feels to "pop" something!
I hope this helps and good luck!
