Is it normal for sex to hurt the second time?

Sex and STIsFemale parts
Written By Tessa Commers

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!).
