I didn't bleed when I lost my virginity

I am a 17 year old female. and never had sex before until Feb.15th 2010 with my almost 11month boyfriend.
He is the first person i ever had sex with and the only one I'm have sex with..the thing is I didn't bleed when I lost it to him or any of the other times we've had sex. I was wondering what the problem was. I'm a perfectly healthy person with no medical history.

A hymen is not a membrane that entirely blocks the vagina, anyway, it has a hole in it for the menstrual flow to pass through.  The "breaking" mythology acts like it's a piece of Saran wrap stretched over the top of a glass, but that is not true.  Yours might have had the hole already enlarged enough for a penis from the causes the other ladies named.

That's perfectly normal. Some people either don't have a hymen at all or their hymen gets torn early in life due to normal activities such as horseback riding, ballet, or bicycle riding. It's totally nothing to worry about.

Hi - Don't worry, you're completely normal my love! I didn't bleed either when i lost my virginity, and the reason is thus - its quite an old myth that EVERY girl MUST bleed when they loose their virginity - back in the old days it was a scandal if you didn't, but these days girls are so active and use tampons ect that its not that common. The reason some girls bleed is because a very thin piece of skin covers the vagina, and its this breaking that can cause bleeding - but if you have done PE at school or any kind of sports, ridden a bike or used a tampon these can all also break this very flexible flimsy piece of skin and you might not have noticed. This is 100% completely normal and health - not everyone bleeds, its not odd, abnormal or weird - you are 100% normal and health hon - I hope this helps you out
