How badly does it hurt when your hymen is broken?!


Question: How badly does it hurt when your hymen is broken?
When a woman has sex for the first time, I mean.

Answers:

It's more common for it not to hurt when the hymen is torn.

Pain when a woman loses her virginity is rarely down to the hymen being torn, not least of all because it's rare for a woman's hymen to still be in tact by the time she first has sex, and even if in tact the hymen is flexible so doesn't always tear during sex. Pain is more common when a girl isn't ready for penetration - when aroused the vagina relaxes, lubricates, opens and increases in size to allow for pain-free penetration, if not aroused the vagina will not go through these changes thus penetration is forced causing pain and damage to the vaginal walls - this is the most common cause of pain when a woman has sex for the first time.

If the hymen is in tact it's just as likely that it feels good as it is to hurt.
When a woman first has sex if her hymen is still in tact then it may stretch rather than tear, but if it does tear it's different for everyone - for most women there is no pain, just a release in pressure...consider this; the hymen can tear multiple times in a woman's life, it doesn't just tear once then vanish, most women don't know this because they don't feel it happening...this says something for how painful or not painful it may be.

Everyone is different, but it's false to think that sex the first time should hurt, more so if you think it's down to the hymen tearing. Try reading through the following pages from sex education site Scarleteen for more [reliable] information;

It all depends on your personal tolerance to pain. It didn't hurt me that bad, but I have friends who cried when they lost their virginity. Not everyone is the same...just like how some girls bleed when their hymen is broken, and some girls don't.



Sex doesn't hurt. If it did people wouldn't being doing it for fun and the world wouldn't be so populated.



It hurt me a lot. It depends on the girl.
