When a woman has vaginal sex for the first time, it can be a little painful. There may also be a small amount of blood, but this isn’t always the case and usually occurs because the hymen has been broken during sexual intercourse.
The hymen is a small piece of thin skin (membrane) that can either partially or totally cover the entrance to the vagina. A woman might already have broken her hymen without knowing about it; this can happen when playing sports or using a tampon.
When a man has sex for the first time it shouldn’t hurt, but he can make it easier for his partner by using foreplay, making sure there is plenty of lubrication and by being gentle and going slowly.
