Hi, I was just a little worried. Its true that a woman bleeds a little when she has sex for the very first time. However, that wasn't the case for me. So im not too sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing. I felt a little pain but there was no bleeding what so ever. Although, when i first got fingered, i did bleed a little. But nothing during sex...

Hi navii, welcome!

Not necessarily. I'm glad that you didn't bleed. If the woman has prepared herself for penetrative sex by having a pelvic exam to make sure everything is all right and if she has a gentle and considerate partner I don't think it is likely that she will bleed. Some things that might cause a woman to bleed during intercourse are if she has a hymen that prevents penetration without tearing or if she has polyps in her vagina or if she isn't aroused and well lubricated or of she is on hormonal contraceptives that have sensitized her cervix. And, of course, if she has a partner who lacks consideration and treats her roughly.

Thanks for stopping by. Please ask if you have more questions.

Good luck,
