Many of us are familiar with the scenario of the bleeding-after-sex scare. But if you’re not having pain, it’s probably not what you think.

In fact, there are lots of reasons why you might be bleeding after sex—and many of them aren’t as scary as that first sight of blood may have you believe. Bleeding after sex can happen for a number of reasons—and it doesn’t always mean something is wrong with you or your body. In fact, it’s more common than you might think.

If you’ve ever noticed a little bit of blood after penetration with a partner or sex toy, it can be alarming at first, especially if it’s your first time bleeding after sex. But according to Moushumi Ghose, a licensed sex therapist, “bleeding during sex is actually very normal.”

Sometimes, something as simple as not using enough lube can be the culprit. And other times? Well, there are things that are out of your control—like if your partner has a condition that causes his or her blood vessels to tear more easily during sex. But don’t let these factors convince you that something is necessarily wrong with you or your partner! Read on to explore the common causes of bleeding after sex, according to experts.
