A member asked:

I had vaginal bleeding during sex, not on my period nor close to it, i was properly aroused and on oral birth control, what could be the reason?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Gyn exam: This could be bleeding from aggressive sexual intercourse- small rips or vaginal tears; however, bleeding after sexaul intercourse deserves further pelvic examination.
