Does it hurt having sex for the first time?

I am turning18 years old and I've been going out with my boyfriend for 2 years. We've decided to have sex for my birthday and we're being very careful. I have taken birth control and he has condoms. Please don't judge me an keep your criticisms to yourself if you don't believe in sex before marriage. I believe I am in love with this man. I trust him and he is my best friend as well as my love. I want to lose my virginity to him. Anyways...Does it hurt the first time? I'm a little scared but excited at the same time. I know my hymen is going to break. Does it bleed( I've heard it can)? Can I do anything before-hand to make it less painful? Tell me your experiences? Please help!! Thankss!

Update:

Lmfao....by the wy i should probably mention im a girl (i figured u got that from the hymen thing) so umm i guess if u want...guys can answer...but it doesnt really help me

Oh an P.S. - I have a very (err this is embarrassing) small vagina. I'm a small person and my doctor told me i am fairly tight. lmfao talk about awkward conversations

    You betcha! It only bleeds if your hymen is still intact when you start sex. If it has been broken (a lot of things can cause this, just not sex) then you most likely will not bleed. Make sure you have lots and lots of foreplay before hand. Keep a bottle of KY, just in case you need. It hurts initially, but you will start to enjoy it. Maybe not your first time, but maybe the second and third. Good luck

    The first time can be painful when the hymen breaks upon penetration. There can also be some blood from spotting to actual bleeding. Not all girls bleed and not all have pain. I never bled but there was a lot of pain. There doesn't have to be blood or pain, but due to the fact that most guys don't know what they are doing and girls 'give in' to sex to please their partner instead of waiting until they are really ready and aroused, pain happens even if blood doesn't.

    The hymen is the thin membrane that sometimes covers the opening to the vagina if you're a virgin. Even if you haven't had sex, the hymen can do a bit of a disappearing act due to an overzealous workout at the gym, horseback riding, tampons, and even passionate "heavy petting" with your boyfriend. (It's not an impenetrable barrier, anyway, as it has holes to allow menstrual blood to escape.)

    For some, the first few times might make you feel sore, as the vagina has been an unused muscle or even hurt if you aren't properly lubricated, or if the guy is in a hurry, doesn't arouse you and your body isn't ready.

    Relaxing, foreplay, (oral sex, touching, kissing, etc) being fully aroused or better yet, you having an orgasm FIRST or using a lubricant like KY-Jelly or Astro-Glide can help.

    First of all..it is different for every girl, so it may hurt for you but it might not..you just really cannot tell before

    The first time I did it, it DID hurt but on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the most painful) it was more like a 5 or 6. It wasn't TOO bad..although I didn't bleed at all which leads me to believe that my hymen broke before (that can happen during non-sexual related activities such as biking, horseback riding etc.) After the first 5 mins or so it is actually kinda nice. If he's a virgin too, then you probably won't even last 5 mins lol The guy I did it with was way more experience than me so it lasted a while.

    Anyway, good luck! I'm glad there are still teens like you who can date for 2 years without having sex. Good for you!

    Good Luck!! :)

    This is from what ive heard, not personal experience just first of all lol

    It may or may not hurt, it depends based on the girl. The friends of mine that i have had sex with said on a scale from 1-10 on pain, (10 being the highest level of pain) they both said it was a 10. I dont mean to scare you or anything, im just saying what i know and trying to prepare you so its not a surprise. Oh, but i remember them saying that it only hurt for the first 5-10 minutes and then they got used to it quickly. You will be sore the say after though. (your thighs and area) It will hurt the first few times until it becomes a regular thing and it stretches a bit.

    My other friend on the other hand, she didnt bleed AND she said it didnt hurt. So i guess it all depends on the girl.

    To prepare before you actually do it which may help the pain, relax and get...loose. Basically, foreplay. This will make you loose and cause yourself to not be so tight. Take deep breaths when you guys are doing the deed too, it makes things easier.

    I hope this all helped, you can probably find a bunch of websites that can help you too.

    Yes, it usually does hurt the first time. It also depends on the size of your vagina. The smaller it is, the more it hurts. For me, it hurt really bad the first few times I had sex. The best thing to do is to buy the lubricated condoms (Trojan is the safest) and also get a thing of lube for extra. This helps ease the pain because there's less friction. If you really think you're ready and that you love him though, then it's fine, and I think that's great (it's better than the ways some girls I know lost it). Gongrats and good luck=)

    No judgements... yes sometimes it can be painful and more likely than not you will get a little bleeding from your hymen. That being said use lubrication, and make sure that there is lots of foreplay so that you are thoroughly aroused and ready for him. Then make sure he is gentle and eases into things. Do not be afraid to verbally guide and suggest (he will appreciate this also) I would also suggest he use his fingers to first loosen you up.... given your comment, then make sure he goes at your pace and work up together. Chances are he will *** quite quickly..... The first time is most generally a little awkward for both parties.. Just be supportive of eachother.... then do it again LOL ........... practice makes perfect

    If you're hymen hasn't broken from something else, then yes it will hurt. If he isn't small, then yes it will hurt & yes it will bleed. When i lost it i cried and made him stop. The next day i figured i'd misewell get it over with so i tried again and it hurt and i cried some more. The second time, it felt nice. Anyway, it hurt me badly & i only bled for about 1-2 days. Wasn't heavy bleeding.

    Usually you do bleed but i know ppl that barely bled at all. And yea there is a good chance it will ''hurt' or be very uncomfortable

  • 1 decade ago

    I didn't go through any trouble. No blood no pain. All I can say is to have him go slow through every stroke until you are comfortable. Good Luck!
