Vaginal Tearing during sex

I think, but not really sure if this is where I should post this.  But I have some questions that I would like to have answers to.  Recently my boyfriend and I had sex for the first time.  He is umm kinda big.  And I haven't had it that big before.  Anyway, when we first started there was no problems for entry but it started hurting.  It wasn't too big of a deal.  Well now I have tears...in two or three locations on the outside of my vaginal area.  It hurts to move in anyway including going to the bathroom for obvious reasons since they are cuts.  But I was wondering what I should do?  The pain is unbearable.  Almost like when I had my son and I ended up with four tears.  Thanks.

thank all of you for comments and advice it has given me hope because as all of you i had sex and ended up with 2tears from my vagina to anus also on the side near  my clitoris...... painful not to mention embarrassing  stuff. i went to my doctor he gave me antibiotics because it turned into a track and yeast infection, everything is messed up in my nether regions.  the meds helped the inflammation and infection but the cuts wont heal, does anyone know how long the average women takes to heal down there? becaUse i miss the days of not being in pain or worry about the next time i have to urinate.

Are you on birth control? Or anything like that? What it may be is your getting scarred and tension up during sex, with this your estrogen levels might be off causing the walls inside you to be thinned. I had the same problem and it turned out they had given me a birth control that was completely wrong for me, had alonst triple the estrogen I should have! If your on bc I highly recomend switching to another

Hi witchygirl, just want to support what you are saying here.  I had a huge internal and external vaginal rip following intercourse after a lonnnng period of abstinence.  My doctor identified the contraceptive I was taking to thin the vaginal lining.  Not fun!!

I tore a lot. And when i say a lot i mean every single time i had sex, i would tear so badly i couldn't wipe myself off after going to the bathroom. I thought maybe im overreacting and making something out of nothing, but i went to my Gyne just the same. It turns out i was born with a think vaginal wall on my right side which prevented my skin from being able to stretch properly which caused my tearing. A small operation to remove the hardened / thick excess skin was the answer and for the first time in my life after the surgery, i don'y tear during any form of sexual intercourse. It rocks! So go get it checked out, it could actually be SOMETHING.

You need to tell him passionate sex is fine but he cant go at it like a jackhammer cause it hurts. He should worry about your pleasure not just his. He is probably going to hard and tearing you. How about you get on top and control the pace if he can't do it right. You have all the control your the girl!
