It’s normal to have bleeding the first time you have sex, but it’s also normal not to!
Vaginas have a thin tissue that stretches across part of the opening. This is called a hymen. Sometimes when girls have vaginal sex for the first time, their hymen gets stretched open, which can cause pain or bleeding. But the hymen can also naturally stretch from things like sports, using a tampon, or putting fingers or other objects in the vagina. Also, some girls are born with very little hymenal tissue, so it may seem like they don’t have a hymen at all.
