Let’s face it, that whole impenetrable thing is gonna make that first time a pretty tough hurdle for the average guy. So unless Superman and she hook up, is Supergirl going to be a virgin for life? How about butt sex? There’s no physical barrier but it can be a fairly hard push, especially at first. There any hope there for the poor girl in that area? Is she doomed to a life of only giving/getting oral sex? I don’t see why a vibrator wouldn’t work just fine for her, so there’s that. If she was into rougher sex she could use a jackhammer. So what think all of ye? ---

Isn’t Superman her cousin or something? ---

You do know the hymen isn’t always present in such a way that if it was unbreakable, it’d stop sex, right? > **[Hymen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hymen)** > > The hymen is a thin piece of mucosal tissue that surrounds or partially covers the external vaginal opening. It forms part of the vulva, or external genitalia, and is similar in structure to the vagina. > In children, a common appearance of the hymen is crescent-shaped, although many shapes are possible. During puberty, estrogen causes the hymen to change in appearance and become very elastic. Normal variations of the post-pubertal hymen range from thin and stretchy to thick and somewhat rigid. ... ---

Her problems are going to be similar to the ones Larry Niven wrote about Superman in “Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex”: [Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex](http://www.rawbw.com/~svw/superman.html) I think a kryptonite dildo should take care of her super-hymen. But the involuntary orgasmic spasms of her vagina on orgasm would probably squeeze any non-Kryptonian penis to jelly. ---

But the involuntary orgasmic spasms of her vagina on orgasm would probably squeeze any non-Kryptonian penis to jelly. Isn’t kryptonite always deadly to superpersons? It’s been a long time since I’ve read any superman literature so I may be misremembering. But thinking about it a bit I remember that different colors of kryptonite have different properties. So possibly specially made ribbed kryptonite might enhance her pleasure. ---

There are enough non-Kryptonian supers in the DCU that I think she will be okay. ---

There are other non-related Kryptonians on Earth in the current TV series. Granted, they’re criminals, but maybe Kara is turned on by bad boys. 🙂 Failing that, she could make a booty call in the city of Kandor. Under the artificial red sun, she’d temporarily lose her powers. ---

Superman has lost his powers, including his invulnerability, due to psychosomatic factors at least once; and by all accounts, he and Lois had a vibrant sex life before the latest reboot, without her complaining that his skin felt like steel. From this I conclude that Kryptonian invulnerability can be deactivated subconsciously. If some hump like Libra was trying to rape Supergirl, he’d find her adamantium-like to the touch; if it were Brainiac 5, whom she thought groovy and WANTED to do, she’d be silky. ---

Kandor, Mon-El, Ultra-Boy, Comet(!), etc… I always figured Mon-El got to her first during some Legion down-time. ---

Perhaps I should read People magazine more often but I wasn’t aware that Lois & SM were doing it. But in any case Lois’ hymen wouldn’t have been much of an obstacle to the man-of-steel’s uh . . . steel. Not really the same issue. As to Superman losing his invulnerability, as you said, it was once and psychosomatic. A lot of factors would really have to line up to make that work out on your average date. ---

This thread reminds me of the half-good movie with Will Smith who was a super hero, Hancock. A great movie before it was destroyed by Charlize Theron’s character. Anyway, in the beginning of the movie, I almost kills a girl trying to have sex with her. ---

But in any case Lois’ hymen wouldn’t have been much of an obstacle to the man-of-steel’s uh . . . steel. Not really the same issue. Until the recent retcon, Superman and Lois not only were getting it on, they married about 20 years ago both in the comics, and on the TV show _Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman_. It lasted until the reboot when the characters were brought back to their origins. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-supergirl-doomed-to-a-life-of-only-oral-sex/735910.md?page=2)
