Tearing Hymen

How much bleeding occurs when a hymen is broken during sex, and do you continue to proceed when it is broken? or how do you proceed?

The majority of women don't even have a hymen. Some had one at one point but it can be broken during sports, riding horses, putting tampons in, and other things of that sort. I personally didn't bleed at all when I first had sex so I can't give you any words of experience there. If you do happen to bleed you need to do whatever feels comfortable. Most of the time, bleeding is caused due to lack of lubrication before intercourse. Try to be sure that you are thouroughly turned on or have enough lubricant before trying. Having a caring partner helps loads as well.

If you do have a hymen that can break during sex, it may bleed what seems like a lot; mine did, but it didn't happen during my first sex act. Thankfully it happened in the shower lol. It usually stops fairly quickly, and you may spot for a day or so afterwards.

However, my hymen was unusual anyway, so it really doesn't count. Most women don't have an intact hymen by the time they have sex. The myth of "popping the cherry" is false.

Sex should not hurt. If it hurts, then something is wrong. Even sex for a virgin should not hurt. My first time was painless and amazing. I didn't bleed, either. And no, my boyfriend was not small Wink

Monkey and eiri are both right.

The typical hymen is broken long before a girl ever has sex, like monkey said. There is usually little or no pain involved, so most girls don't even realize when it happened.

Many girls bleed during sex due to rips and tears from not being lubricated enough. That problem is usually easily solved with a water-based lubricant.

Like eiri said though, women are built differently. So some women have a much tougher hymen than the norm. Their hymen might stay intact for longer, and it might bleed more when it does tear, but keep in mind that they are not the norm.

Many women bleed, sometimes quite a bit, if there is not enough lubrication. So that could have also been your problem.

Exactly; being nervous can definitely maker you dry. A lot of girls don't seem to know that! That's great to hear that you're using protection!
