Is it normal not to bleed the first time of intercourse?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, may be normal: Bleeding from the first sexual intercourse with penetration is from the rupture of hymen. The most common reason for not bleeding is not having a complete hymen covering to cause rupture or lack of full penetration. For the same reason, u may experience some bleeding on subsequent vaginal intercourse. For ongoing concern, you can get a pelvic exam.☺️

Yes: It is normal. And as a reminder: always use a barrier method of protection during intercourse to decrease the chance of STD transmission and decrease the risk of pregnancy! Please see your doctor for a birth control medication as well if you desire this additional method for preventing pregnancy.
