Cherry pop?

Question

My girlfriend and I were having sex, and it hurt just a little but that's how we both like it. But, I bled a little...and she said it's because "my cherry popped". Is that what happens when your "cherry pops"?

Answer

You don't have to bleed during sex but it's completely normal to do so. When people talk about the "cherry popping" they are talking about the hymen. Many people believe that the hymen completely covers the entrance to the vagina so you can somehow tell if the person is a virgin or not. This isn't true. (If it was, how would we have periods?) The hymen is actually a smaller ring of skin around the entrance to the vagina. Sometimes this tissue tears during penetration and that's what's causing the bleeding. Oftentimes it happens the first time you have penetrative sex but it can happen any time. So no, your cherry didn't pop, because there isn't a cherry there and you can't pop it, but yes, the bleeding is normal.

Answer

It could mean that your hymen was ruptured which is what people refer to as having your "cherry popped" lol.

Answer

Yes. That's how you know.
