Question 1

my boyfriend fingered me very hard earlier and i bled a lot. ive had sex before so i didn't think it was my cherry popping but could it have been?

Accepted Answer

Doubt it: If you've had intercourse before it's highly likely your hymen broke at that time. If he was fingering your vagina very hard as you describe it's more likely that he made a small (or large) tear in the lining of your vagina.I would avoid any kind of intercourse or fingering until you feel healed and maybe even want to consider having your doc take a look at it to determine the severity of the tear

Question 2

so it's my first time having sex, i'm extremely scared about my cherry popping and the blood going everywhere, do you have any suggestions for me?

Accepted Answer

No need to worry: Your concerns are completely understandable.  However the amount of bleeding from the hymen is very small, and resolves on its own.  Place a towel either on top or underneath the sheets, to put you at ease.  Your partner will probably be very supportive and understanding.  And of course, ALWAYS use condoms to protect against pregnancy and STDs.

Question 3

please explain what happens after your cherry pops?

Accepted Answer

Hymen: Possibly some discomfort or bleeding.

Question 4

me and my boyfriend had sex and i bleed after, did my cherry pop?

Accepted Answer

Safe Sex or Abstain: If this is the first time you had sex, the bleeding is from breaking the hymen, which is like a ring around the opening of vagina. Please consider contraception and always always use condoms to prevent infection. I realize that you might have to speak to your parents about this for it to happen because of your age, but that will be far better than getting pregnant. The best policy is to abstain.

Question 5

been sexually active for 4 years, 8 partners, never had my "cherry pop"? no bleeding, still have pain when someone goes "too deep"?

Accepted Answer

You didn't realize: "cherry pop" is a euphemism describing the breakdown of your hymen.  It isn't a true physiological event.  Many times women do tear their hymen during their first sexual encounter.  Yours may have, or could have during another activity.  The pain you experience when someone goes "too deep" is likely related to trauma to your cervix and as long as it goes away in a day or two can be normal.

Question 6

can my cherry pop twice because i haven't had my period in like 4 months i'm not pregnant but after i had sexual inter course last night i started having pains an i'm not bleeding like i'm on my period it hurts an it was a little blood?

Accepted Answer

Hymenal tear: Sometimes the hymenal tears can cause spotting/light bleeding. It may occur a few times when you first have intercourse. Usage of lubricants will help reduce discomfort

Question 7

how do you know if your cherry is popped? my boyfriend fingered me and there was bleeding a while back. did he pop it?

Accepted Answer

Possible...: If there was manipulation and bleeding of your genital area it is possible that it might had torn the hymen but unable to tell for sure without a genital exam. If bleeding continues, see a doctor for formal checkup of the area.

Question 8

once surgically removing septate hymen, will there still be normal/extra hymen left over to break (pop cherry) during sex, or will it be totally gone?

Accepted Answer

No: Surgically, it will be 'gone in 60 seconds'.

Question 9

if your a virgin and you use a tampon will it pop your cherry ?

Accepted Answer

No: Your cherry as you call it, we call it a hymen, will not be destroyed by inserting a tampon. The vagina will still have the tightness of a virgin.

Question 10

i haven't had sex in 6 months until today but after i started to bleed. is it normal? did i pop my cherry again?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding: Bleeding after intercourse is not uncommon. I would not worry too much about that especially if it is small and ceases quickly.
