"Popping your cherry" means doing something for the first time. It has also been used to mean breaking a girl's hymen, although I hate that usage because it is usually incorrect and misleading. Most girls tear their hymens long before they ever have sex, so the fact that you didn't bleed your first time does not mean anything. Most people do not bleed their first time having sex. There is also usually little or no blood when the hymen tears, so many girls don't know when it happened. If you have ever had a finger or tampon in your vagina, chances are your hymen was already torn.

My guess would be that you were not lubricated enough and had a little tearing. Lack of lubrication is the most common reason for pain during sex. It can also cause quite a bit of bleeding since the inside of the vagina is made up of such sensitive tissue. It'll probably heal on its own in a few days. You can go to the ob-gyn then just to make everything looks ok and is healing fine.

You also might have been a bit tense or nervous. That's the second most common cause of pain during sex. Being nervous makes your muscles clench tight. That can make sex or even pap smears hurt.

It sounds like your sister is probably not the best person to be getting that kind of information from (no offense). Check out these sites: http://www.coolnurse.com/sex_faqs_index.ht m

Yes it is normal.. Any way it was with me I spoted a little here and there for about 5 days. Don't worry unless it starts to bleeed harder and doesn't go away after a week. I'm sure you have nothing to worry about.

MY "hymen" was a string that went across the entrance to my vagina, so it normally just slid out of the way during sex; however I definately wasn't a virgin just because it was still there!! (lost of sex with my bf/now fiancee!)

It finally got caught and broke months later, and thankfully we were in the shower cause there was a lot of blood 0.o Ow. I spotted for about a day and then I was fine ^^

Mine's the same way....just a small string. But i need to know, did it hurt alot when it finally broke. *blush* I'm worried, and i just need to know.
-thx-

it did hurt. Before it broke, if it got caught it hurt a lot, and I'd have to reposition during sex. So one time in the shower, I felt it catch (ow as usual), but when he thrusted again I didn't feel it catch and assumed it had slipped off. Turns out it had broken!
