bleeding after sex - what gives?

My b/f is rather, uh, well-endowed and sometimes after sex I notice a little bit of spotting, which I was told can happen if a woman's cervix is bumped. Well this weekend immediately after we did the deed I noticed quite a lot of blood, which kind of freaked me out. I continued spotting for a couple hours afterwards. I was very sore the rest of the weekend, but the bleeding stopped.

I'm wondering, does anyone else have this problem? I thought about going to the gyno but I don't really know what she'll tell me other than not to have sex (which I'm not sure is an option). Any suggestions?
Thanks so much!

If there is the slightest irritation to the lining of the vagina, this can be enough to cause bleeding.
