Bleeding During First-Time Sex

Many women are made to feel that if they did not have bleeding during sex for the first time, then there is something wrong with them. This is absolute nonsense thinking that bleeding is the proof of virginity. Most people think that the hymen is a barrier that will break very dramatically when you have sex for the first time, while the fact is that it is a flexible and easily cracked tissue, so for some women bleeding may occur while for some it may not. Whether or not, both conditions are normal

Which is a more important fact than what its size is. And if you are not experiencing vaginismus or any other issue, size usually isn't that big an issue.
