A member asked:

If a virgin girl born with no hymen or has a torn hymen (or partially torn hymen) . does she bleed on first intercourse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: There are many cultures that place a great emphasis on "Bleeding with first intercourse" as proof of purity.It is not. There are other forms of partner sex and virgins without a hymen or whose hymen is very open will not bleed with intercourse.
