I met a girl when I was 16. We went out a few times, nothing much happened. About a year later, we ran into each other by accident. We started talking; one thing led to another and we ended up spending most of the day together. I was the only kid still living at home and my parents were out of town for the weekend. We had a rather old dog who couldn’t hold his bladder more than about six hours, so I had to get home to let him out. I invited her to the house and she accepted. I swear, I had no intentions of doing anything but letting the dog out. Anyway, after the dog did his thing, it was mid-evening and we decided to watch TV. It wasn’t too long before we were making out; and she was actually being much more agressive than me. We eventually went to my bedroom, had alot of foreplay, then had sex. When we were done, I was shocked to see a lot of blood all over the sheets. Being 17, I was really classless and just blurted out something like “Jeez, I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you were a virgin.” At that point, she was obviously embarrased, but denied that she was a virgin, though she never offered an explaination for the blood. She went on to say that she had had sex with her previous boyfriend several times.
We dated about a month and had intercourse about a dozen times. Never again did she bleed. I’m sure she wasn’t having her period, as she wasn’t wearing a tampon and there was no blood on my hands, even though we did a fair amount of foreplay. I guess I’ve always assumed I popped her cherry and she denied it because of my rather classless way of asking her.
I guess my question is - is it possible that she was not a virgin, but had not had her cherry popped yet? Or, would there be any other reason that a woman would bleed down there? (besides giving birth or surgery, etc; which obviously wasn’t happening).
Some women’s hymens never break, only stretch to accomodate the penis. In talking to a few women about this, a couple have told me that they never bled.
If she’d only had sex a couple of times, and it was fairly recent, it’s possible that the torn hyman might bleed again if it wasn’t fully healed. I seem to remember bleeding the first few times.
Unexplained vaginal bleeding could be serious. Do you know where/how she is now? I believe it can be a sign of some cancers, but my medical knowledge mostly comes from the Reader’s Digest. Still, I wouldn’t mess around with something like that.
Back in high school my health teacher tried to convince us that hymens don’t bleed - when a girl has sex for the first time she’s usually unprepared/nervous and therefor not lubricated enough, so the blood is actually just from vaginal chafage. Since sex is so mental for women (guess you could read that a few ways), unless they’re psychologically into it things don’t come together right.
I have bled for no particular reason from intercourse every once in a while - maybe every 6 months or so. I have a very sensitive cervix. I also sometimes have what is called break-through bleeding - 7 days before a woman’s period is due, progesterone levels dip (which is the hormone that keeps a period from coming), and if you don’t have a whole lot of it to begin with, you can get breakthrough bleeding. Sex definitely brings on my period and makes breakthrough bleeding worse. Not sure why…
So I would say no, I don’t think you popped her cherry.
