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

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 4

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 5

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.

Question 6

i'm still a virgin me and my bf r waiting till marriage but we do otherthings can he pop my cherry by fingering me?

Accepted Answer

Sex information: The hymen is not something that is "popped". It's a thin piece of tissue, crescent shaped, inside the vagina. It can be stretched out in many ways- by fingers, masturbation, sex toys, or accidentally. In fact, there is no reason that it should be forceably broken and cause bleeding. Virginity is not even clearly defined- some say "any" sex, some say "vaginal intercourse". You decide for you.

Question 7

could i 'pop my cherry' jumping in a swimming pool?

Accepted Answer

I suppose: I guess you probably could but I never heard of such an anecdote.

Question 8

is it normal to pop your cherry? does it affect your health or sex life in anyway?

Accepted Answer

hymen: The hymen is a thin membrane at the vaginal opening.  Once a woman uses tampons it is usually partially torn.  This is a normal process and not something to stress about.

Question 9

how far can you and a guy go and still be considered a virgin? if he enters you, but doesn't pop the cherry or go all the way i he went in but not all the way...there was no condom..and he didn't pop my cherry

Accepted Answer

The : The traditional definition of a virgin is a women or man that has never engaged in vaginal penetration (giving or receiving so to speak). Honestly the definition means different things to different people. From my point of view i would say you are no longer a virgin since you had vaginal penetration regardless of wheter or not the hymen (cherry) is still intact. However this is your life and your interpretation of the experience. If you feel you are still a virgin, then you should consider yourself one. More important than semantics here is the fact that you need to start protecting yourself against pregnancy and std's (sexually transmitted diseases) since both of these can occur with minimal penetration.
Best of luck.

Question 10

i was riding a boy and when we got done i went to pee they was a little blood. did he pop my cherry? we did it before but i've never bled.

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: If you have had normal intercourse in the past and never bled, you may have never had a "cherry" to pop or lost the structure in childhood. Any bleeding now may be from other structures, or trauma to your pee hole.The mechanics of sex can tear susceptible tissue.If it continues, check it out.If it disappears in a day or so, you are likely okay.
