There is a Tedtalk all about the hymen which you should watch. As someone has mentioned it doesnt exist

 Not everyone bleeds when they loose their virginity. Completely normal so no need to worry.

 Nope, you aren't a virgin or have a hymen.
You had sex and you didn't bleed. Most women actually do not bleed. Women aren't really supposed to bleed. I know that is contrary to the societal belief that virgins bleed or feel pain, but the reality is - if you are aroused and not having rough sex you probably won't bleed.
Some bleed because the guy/girl uses their fingers inside and it either causes friction (if not aroused enough) or nails cut/scratch the walls of the vagina thus the woman bleeds.

 The Hymen does exist.
Not everyone bleeds when they break their hymen so don't worry about it. You're normal.
As long as you're practicing safe sex, looking after yourself and are able to feel comfortable during the act, that's all that matters.

 The hymen is a ( generally ) thin membrane which partially covers the vaginal opening. It has openings in it, it can be anular ( ring-shaped ) , septed ( with slits ), cribriated ( many tiny holes ) and these openings let menstrual blood flow. Some women are born without a hymen , some others have a " compliant " one ( very elastic, yields to pressure without tearing ).
It's not exactly that the hymen is a myth, the myth is that getting rid of one must necessarily mean blood and pain.
After all , a hymen is a tiny flap of frail tissue and is not located deep down, it's just right there at the " entrance ". We are not talking about, like, pulling a wisdom tooth. So most of the physical discomfort , with the rare unlucky exceptions of particularly thick hymens , comes from nerves, not being lubricated enough, and excessuve friction / roughness .
If you had sex a few times already, your hymen , by now, if it was there to begin with, is blown to smithereens. But the fact that you never bled is , contrariously to popular belief, absolutely normal.

 *bleeding because of friction. Pardon my autospell.

Hymen is fictional. It doesnt exist. You didnt bleed because you were comfortable and lubricated and has sex the right way. Those who bleed do so because of fiction and getting scratched /ripped.
If there was such a thing as a "hymen", how would your menstrual blood come out? How would you be able to use a tampon? The hymen is all made up.

 Have you ever ridden a bike and fallen off? Do you ride horses? Have you experimented with sex toys which you have inserted inside yourself? All of these could have stretched/broken your hymen without you even realizing.
If you are not experiencing pain during intercourse then there is no problem.
