The rupture of the hymen

The hymen is a thin film covering a portion of the vaginal opening. During their first intercourse, some women, not all, see a small amount of blood and feel some pain after the rupture of the hymen.

To facilitate penetration, during the first sexual intercourse or the next one, there must be adequate vaginal lubrication. This is possible with either proper preparation and stimulation of the woman by her partner, before penetration or even by the use of a lubricant in gel form. Under these circumstances, sexual intercourse could be enjoyable for both members.

Finally, a reminder: any discussion about the first sexual intercourse is incomplete if it does not include reference to safe sex and especially to the use of the condom.
