Bleed after sex?

I'm still a virgin but I don't mind because I am only 16 but mates tell me that you bleed after sex for the first time. Is this true? If so, is it right after, do I just put a pad on, how long does it last for.

Some girls are even born without them. Don't worry about those scare stories!
If you use tampons, do a lot of sport, or masturbate, your hymen has probably stretched out of the way already, so it will be OK when you first have sex.
If you do bleed, it shouldn't be that painful. The worst will be one or 2 drops of blood, and a slightly sore feeling for a day or 2. Remember you have been using muscles that you probably never used before!
The first time, wait until you are both really ready, and don't rush it. Make sure there's lots of lubrication, use a condom, and let the girl be in charge of what goes where. There are lots of positions where the girl controls the movement.
It isn't an ordeal, you're supposed to enjoy it! It isn't like you have to lie there and let some bloke do nasty painful things to you.
Hope that stops you worrying
