so im not going to tell everyone the whole story. just cut to the chase. When I lost my virginity, I bled. just like everyone told me i would. but then that guy broke up with me. he got what he wanted so yeah. but I had sex with my new boyfriend after a year of dating. then we broke up for a week to just take a break. well...he got a new gf and I was so devistated I went to my best friends house and we were in this broken down trailor just listening to music and dirnking a little. but I had a little too much, and made a move on him... we ended up having sex.. I bled again. what does that mean? BTW my bf realized he needed me and we got back together. me and my best friend are still best friends. but seriously, is something wrong with me? he texted me when I got home and told me that there was blood... if I bled the first time, why did I bleed again? I had had sex with my boyfriend plenty of times and never bled with him.. i know I sound like a whore but I need to know... [all the 3 guys i have slept with were virgins so I know I dont have an STD or something]
The hymen (or "cherry" as some younger generations refer to it as) usually has a small hole in it as it is. A hymen is made of very thin tissue and it is fairly easy to tear or stretch. It's located at the entrance to the vagina so, actually, it isn't inside of the vagina. The hole is there to allow menstrual blood to escape the body and is usually too small to accommodate an entire penis to enter the vagina without stretching/tearing. Sometimes the hymen is so elastic that it can permit a penis to fit into it. It usually loses this elasticity with age. It is also possible that it was not completely torn from previous sexual experiences and you tore a bit more recently.
There is also the possibility that you were not lubricated well enough. Many women experience this problem if they do not take time to properly prepare for sexual intercourse, which is why foreplay is usually important for women. It's also possible that alcohol consumption altered your body's ability to produce ample lubrication.
Chlamydia and gonorrhea both are very easily (and commonly) transmitted and cause bleeding after/during sexual intercourse. It is possible that your past partners have not been completely truthful about their past sexual experiences and have picked up an STD/STI previously. Younger people tend to feel the need to lie about previous partners so please do not completely dismiss the possibililty.
Vaginal yeast infections and/or bacterial infections can cause bleeding after/during sex. In these cases, you honestly need to seek a health care provider so that you do not risk major damage to your reproductive areas. If you suspect you may be experiencing either (some syptoms include itching and burning, burning while urinating, cottage-cheese like discharge).
Here is a link that lists the most common reasons as to why women experience bleeding after intercourse, it may be very helpful for you to educate yourself on the possibilities for the future:
I hope that you seek out a doctor to check your health just in case something may have gone wrong. It's honestly better to be careful than to pretend your symptoms didn't exist. Please don't blow off the bleeding as normal because it really isn't all that normal and I'm sure you're aware of it.
Please be pickier about your sexual partners. Sexual activity is a very big thing and if things get out of hand one experience can leave you with a load of mental and physical hang-ups for the rest of your life. Your health is always at risk when engaging in such activities.
If you feel that you are sounding whorish then maybe it's time for you to take a step back and realize how you have been degrading your body. People who feel whorish feel that way for a reason. I suspect you know you've been treating yourself lowly and know that have been degrading yourself. Please reconsider sexual activity for awhile until you've gotten some things figured out in your head. Nobody should have to look back years down the road and feel like they "sound[ed] like a whore" to anybody.
I hope I've helped you with finding out the cause of your bleeding. Please make a doctor's appointment to ensure you're in good health. [ Peeps's advice column | Ask Peeps A Question ]
MAK answered Wednesday May 7 2008, 3:44 pm: The first time you bled was because your hymen (a piece of skin covering the entrance of your vagina) tore. The hymen is usually still there until after you give birth vaginally.
The second time you bled was probably because his penis was larger, or he entered from a different angle, causing some more of the hymen to tear. This is completely normal and nothing to worry about, just make sure you practice safe sex if you're going to have sex at all.
