Does everyone bleed the first time?

Not always. Some women will bleed after having sex for the first time, while others won't. Both are perfectly normal.

  2. Factors Influencing Bleeding
    a. Some have a more elastic hymen.
    b. Activities like sports or tampon use may stretch the hymen, reducing the likelihood of bleeding.

  3. Important Considerations
    a. Bleeding is not a reliable sign of virginity.
    b. Consult a healthcare provider if you experience pain or heavy bleeding.

  4. Individual Variability
    Everyone's body is different, and experiences can vary greatly.

I'm 22 and still a virgin. I've tried to have sexual intercourse with my partner 34 times, but it just doesn't work. I don't know what's causing it it's like I'm too tight and the pain is unbearable. Could this be some kind of medical condition? Any advice would be really helpful.

It sounds like you might be experiencing discomfort due to tightness or muscle tension, which is common, especially for those who are new to sexual activity. It could also be related to conditions like vaginismus, where involuntary muscle spasms make penetration difficult and painful. I recommend consulting a healthcare provider to explore any underlying causes and receive guidance on relaxation techniques or treatments that can help.
