How do you know if your "cherry" has been popped after the first time? Does it happen to all girls/women?

Question

The first time I had sex I thought I had an idea of what to expect in regards to it being the first time (pain, a bit of crying, not knowing what to do, the hymen being broken, etc).
Of course it hurt & everything but when we finished, I checked the sheets & was a tad disappointed when I did not see any blood on them. To me it was kind of like a rite of passage or something, I don't know. 
So how do I know if the hymen was indeed broken or not? Could it have been that my boyfriend simply didn't go in deep enough?

Answer

"Cherry popping" is simply a metaphor for taking virginty. Your hymen could have been detached many years ago from tampons, self exploration or even excercise. It does not always bleed. You have nothing to worry about.

Answer

I didn't bleed as much as I thought from stories of "gushing blood the first time" I wiped after I peed (which burned like hell) and it was pink.

Answer

I bled my first time second and third.

Answer

I also did not bleed my first time. But I had been in regular dance classes, been using tampons, been masterbating, and having foreplay with the guy for over a year before we finally had sex.

Answer

I never had any bleeding after my first time either but then I had done dancing and gymnastics for years so it must have already been broken. It's nothing to do with how deep etc as I also got pregnant on my first time! X
