If this was your first sexual intercourse, then it is normal to bleed because the hymen was broken. But if this was not your first sex then it is not normal to have vaginal bleeding after sex. Vaginal bleeding after sex could indicate an organic disorder of the vagina or cervix like infection, tumor etc.
