Not everyone bleeds their first time having sex, especially if one is really turned on before their first time. I know I didn't bleed my first time. Plus, if there was blood I think a guys first thought is the girl's on her period, not that she's a virgin... just sayin'.

I didn't bleed, but the pain is still there!

soooo disagree w/ this answer.
most girls don't bleed...
if you've used a tampon, you've already handled that problem.

Most women don't bleed their first time anyway. And even if they did I don't think the guy would be looking for the blood. He'd be too busy doing his own thing to notice a tiny bit of blood.

nope didn't bleed the first time either..Big deal! But yeah omg its gonna hurt like a bitch

Interesting... no blood or pain my first time. Then again, rough is kinda hot. I wouldn't sweat the blood issue on the whole. That said, if this is a relationship you're in, I would probably tell him you're a virgin anyway. Secrets never help in these situations...

What is this 1940? Are there still virgins out there that haven't used tampons or tried masturbating?

I bled a lot my first time--didn't stop for nearly an hour. And yes, I had used tampons. Haven't gotten busy in several years, but everytime I do, I bleed.
So it's not necessarily a virginity issue...

Even if you don't bleed it's still a pretty damn good idea to let him know. It would really suck for you if he just went right in at a jackhammer pace. Assuming he's somewhat considerate telling him will make it a lot easier and less painful. ;-)

I didn't bleed my first time. It's very possible he'll have no idea, but still you should let him know what's up so he can take it slow

Yes , He would Notice ; Besides the Blood
The minute he Put It Inn And Starts making His way Hes Gonna Notice that Your Hurting Instead Of feeling Pleasure ; Because You Gonna Feel Pain , And hes Gonna see that . ( Unless He has a small Penis )
Then That's a different story

Omg I have to so disgree tampons dont do the pop the cherry. Ok so if you are a virgin medically you will tear a tissue which you will hear a pop this is when you tear your hymen then that is why women bleed

It's my personal opinion that the sex is going to a negative first-time experience if you aren't even at the comfort level with the guy to tell him you are a virgin. You aren't ready for sex if you can't talk about it. You will never regret waiting for the right person and the right situation, I PROMISE.

I think it's something you should let him know beforehand, so he can be more gentle. I know I bled my first time, and it hurt so bad that I was making weird hissing noises because of the pain. Everyone is different though.

i bled alot my first time...more then i expected...and it hurt like hell...just make sure its somethin you really want to do because i was 17 and not ready and have regretted it since...so be careful..

well, I lost my virginity last week and I thought he wouldn't notice : wrong ! lol there was so much blood I completly dirtied the sheets and our hands were all covered too ( because of our caress )- However, it wasn't painful at all and he has been rough ! I was well motivated for it and it came unexpectedly, I haven't had time to let him know and I don't regret it.

It's only the following morning that we noticed the blood. He looked at me and seeing I was smiling, he simply commented " I won't ask" - I love him !!

No blood, no pain but was well up for it :D

Told the guy sometime after it was my first time & he was shocked, which still makes me chuckle.

So I told my boyfriend I wasn't a virgin., but I am. I'm scared when we have sex he's going to know. Can guys tell if I am or not?

I have to say that for the past couple of hours i have been hooked by the impressive posts on this site. Keep up the great work.
