Many people believe that women must bleed when they have sex for the first time. However, the truth is that most women do not bleed when they experience their first sexual encounter. Some women feel only mild pain when their hymen ruptures during first intercourse, and the bleeding usually stops after a few minutes, with a few bleeding in small amounts the next day and in the following days. The hymen is a fold of mucous membrane attached around the vaginal opening of a virgin, which can be ring-shaped, half-moon, umbrella-shaped or sieve-shaped with a central fissure. The hymen is thicker and tougher when a woman is younger. As she gets older, the hymen becomes thinner under the influence of hormones. This means that the hymen itself is porous, so there is no such thing as a broken or unbroken hymen. Why doesn’t it bleed the first time? 1. Some adult women’s hymens are so elastic that they may not tear even during sexual intercourse, and naturally they do not bleed. 2. If the male penis is small, it may also result in less or no bleeding. 3. Damage to the hymen may occur when climbing trees, riding horses, riding bicycles, or using tampons, long before the first sexual intercourse when the hymen no longer exists. 4. Some women are born without a hymen. Therefore, whether it is the first time and hymen rupture, bleeding are not necessarily related, we should not be misled by the information in the film and television drama, because of their “ignorance” to hurt some people. Why does the first time bleed? 1. If you are young and have a thick hymen when you first have sex, you will bleed. Most of them bleed due to small trauma to the vaginal mucosa caused by excessive nervousness, lack of vaginal lubrication, too much movement of the sexual partner, etc. Only very few people bleed due to damage to the hymen.
