Is it normal for sex to hurt the second time?

We all know that “the first time,” no matter your gender or sexual orientation, can be a big deal. But what about the second time? For those with female anatomy (or for those having sex with a female) there are a few things to keep in mind:

  • You might bleed some more (normal, should stop).

  • It might still hurt (normal, should get better).

  • It might take some more practice before things feel really, really good (normal, keep communicating!).
