I'm 24 and just had sex for the first time with my boyfriend recently. Initially, I had a lot of pain and couldn't do it, but eventually, we managed. What really surprised me though was that I didn't bleed at all. It's been on my mind since I'm not involved in sports or any activities like biking or running. How could this happen?

It's completely normal for some women not to experience bleeding during their first sexual encounter. The presence or absence of bleeding can vary based on the flexibility and elasticity of the hymen, as well as individual anatomy. It's important to remember that every experience is unique, and no one way is "correct." If you have any concerns, it's always a good idea to speak with a healthcare provider for reassurance.
