Is it true you bleed during sex?

Yes some girls bleed a little the first time they have sex

Yes some girls bleed a little the first time they have sex which is normally when the hymen (a thin membrane that covers the vagina opening) is broken. Some girls may not bleed as their hymen has already been broken; it’s quite common for the hymen to be torn before sex from physical activity such as sports or through the use of tampons.
