not quite sure..?
i recently lost my virginity to my boyfriend, who has had sex with 5 or 6 other women, but says he hasnt got an STI. however, the morning after having sex our second time my clitoris ached very badly, and i have noticed a spot on my labia minora. also, theres a cut on my perineum. i have looked up my symptoms - some suggest a sexually transmitted disease, yet some say it is merely the loss of my virginity. i am getting very worried and appreciate any help i can get! thanks
yes, next time i will use more lubrication... - i was considering getting an implant, but i dont really want my mum finding out? i dont plan on having children for years to come! thankyou for your help
Depends on each person. I would definitely make sure you have him see a doctor for a test. There's NO shame in making your partner do that to protect your own personal health. I personally made my husband get tested before we were ever intimate.
I do agree you should wait a little before you have sex again. The first time it happens can be quite painful. Generally it's due to friction and lack of lubrication. You can use a variety of lubrication's out there for when you choose to have sex again, and make sure you use condoms as well. It would also be wise to look into getting on birth control to prevent accidental pregnancy. At 16, children should be the last thing on your mind. Good luck.

phew! we use extra safe condoms anyway, but thankyou, thats a huge weight off my shoulders;
i dont plan on having sex with him again until it feels comfortable again - when will the aching of my clitoris probably stop?

This can be completely normal especially with it being your first time. You ALWAYS want to make sure your partner gets checked out with a clean report before having intercourse. If you are concerned you should talk to a Gyno and have a test done. Also, make sure you are using condoms even though they don't always protect against STD's, you still don't want to get pregnant. If you are having soreness and are irritated down there, then lay off from having sex so frequently.
Hope this helps!
