First period and hymen concerns?

Hey everyone!
So, I’m looking for some info here..
Is it actually normal for a woman to bleed and be in pain right after having sex for the first time?

Thanks for any help!

It’s not always a given. There are some women out there who don't feel a single thing—no pain, no bleeding, nothing at all.

Why on earth are we looking at the exact same topic spread across two different PDFs?

Yeah, true—I mean, what's even the point of doing two openings? 🤷

Michelle Wood3 said:Exactly! Why post it in two different spots? 🤷

Honestly, I wasn't totally sure which subforum this belonged in, so I just threw it up in two places to be safe...
I'll let the mods decide where it actually fits best..

Thanks for the replies, everyone!

True, but is it actually possible to have bleeding just a few hours after sex, or maybe even the next day?
Because honestly, I’m feeling pretty skeptical about what I've been told...

Because I feel like I've been totally played here..

Any of those scenarios could happen. It doesn't necessarily have to hurt, it doesn't have to bleed, and yeah, bleeding can definitely be delayed. Even the hymen doesn't always break during the first time. That happened to me. Mine was just too stretchy and wouldn't budge😁. My guy used to joke that I was a "failed virgin" with big boobs (like some character out of a bad sitcom). But honestly, what I really want to know is why you care so much about whether she actually is a virgin🤷. Are you really at the point where you're trying to fact-check her life? And why would she even lie about something like that in the first place? Honestly, if I were her, I wouldn't even bother trying to convince you—I'd just walk away and find someone normal.

My boyfriend used to tease me, calling me a "stretchy virgin with huge boobs" (total classic line from an old sitcom). But honestly, what I really want to know is why you care so much about whether she’s actually a virgin🤷. Like, are you seriously going to go investigate if she lied to you? And why would a girl even bother lying about something like that? If I were her, I wouldn't even try to convince you—I'd just walk away and find someone totally sane

It's probably not the smartest move to jump to conclusions about someone being "normal" based on just one sentence... if I'm asking the question, there's a pretty good reason behind it. You really have no idea the kinds of girls out there🙄

Alright then... thanks for the input, everyone😉
