A member asked:

Does sex hurt the first time if your hymen is already broken?

Dr. Dennis Higginbotham answered

Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Possible: Even if the hymen is not intact, the hymenal remnants at the opening of the vagina will likely stretch a bit when sexual relations are initiated. That could be uncomfortable or painful.

Dr Villaplana and another doctor agreed
