Hi. I also recently had a pelvic exam and am 18 yrs old and a virgin. I also heard that pelvic exams didnt hurt much, but they did for me even though I use tampons and had a pap smear months before another exam. So I think the answer is yes because the person who told me pelvic exams didnt hurt was not a virgin.
