Okay well i just need to ask some questions, because i dont know what just happened. but here's the story:
Okay, i've been masturbating for like 4 years now, with my fingers, my boyfriend's(Recently) and vibrators, so im fairly certain my hymen is gone and has been for a while. but i dont remember ever bleeding from it or anything. but today i was with my boyfriend, and he was fingering me, and this time was different cause he went really deep in, deeper than anything has ever gone, and it hurt a little and bled, i just figured he popped my cherry, but then i read that the popping of the cherry and breaking hymen is the same thing, so i'm wondering "What just Happened?"
Can anyone help?
Where was the pain?
Maybe he scraped the wall of the vagina with a fingernail.
Most likely you had bits of your hymen still clinging to the sides and some of that was scraped off.
It was just like a pain like he was hitting the back or something. i wasnt really paying much attention to the pain, cause there was also alot of pleasure so. =/ i didnt realize anything was hurt until he pulled out and there was blood on his fingers.
The hymen is not a skin covering the vagina. It is only so in very young girls. During puberty your body makes estrogen. This will make the hymen thicken and pull back to the ring/band around the outside. At this stage it also becomes very elastic and it will not tear all at once. It will also heal again if you leave it alone. It will only leave a notch after it heals.
The above post by Phone Sex is not quite correct. The entire female genitalia are formed in utero prior to birth. At birth, the hymen is as thick as it will ever be and, at puberty, it becomes quite elastic. It neither "pulls back" nor "thickens." The hormones in the womb do cause it to be closed (often) at birth but it opens at about 1 mm per year until puberty when the young woman's own hormones take over and make it thinner and more elastic.This part Phone Sex has right.
The hymen is actually mucous membrane and will not heal after being torn or ruptured. It did its job during infancy in keeping nasty stuff out and, when torn, has no need to replace itself.
As with any body part, it may develop in many ways including (rarely) imperforate requiring removal to allow menstruation. Or, it may be multi-perforate having several smaller openings. Most of us have no idea how ours were formed because by the time we get curious enough to get out the mirror, sport or tampons or other physical activity has deformed or removed the original shape.
There are some few women who do have a particularly tough or thick hymen. In most cases this can be easily corrected in a doctor's clinic requiring only that she wear a pad for a day or two; some very few do require surgical removal and repair requiring more recovery time. This is a major reason that ALL women should have a gyn exam before sex and no later than age sixteen. Simple issues can become more serious when we scare ourselves with failure and then really do not wish to have an exam.
Some hymens disappear all at once; some wear away, especially with tampon use; some leave bits some places around the vaginal opening for a while; some split and leaves part on each side to wear away. None heal.
Phone Sex, you read some of wiki or whatever clearly but your understanding is quite incomplete and misleading. If you do not fully understand what you are posting about, lay back and allow a clear answer to emerge.
Jumby,
If he was really deep or you were not particularly aroused, it is likely that his finger nail nicked the cervix or he could have abraded the vaginal wall. He shall learn - as shall you - but you need to teach him what works.
