If you are a very athletic person, or you wear tampons you could have already broken your hymen. It is a very common thing. by the way if u wanna put a fake hymen there are things out there called vaginal rejouvination surgeries, but they are most definitely not recommended.

You may find that first intercourse does hurt. How much it hurts -- or if it does at all -- varies a good deal from woman to woman, experience to experience.
Your hymen may likely not be fully worn away yet, and even if it has been somewhat (as it is in many young women, even those who have not had any sort of sex), what remains of it may not have been stretched as much before as it is being stretched now. More commonly, you may just be so nervous, anxious or keyed up that your vagina is tensing up on you. Again, go at a pace that feels right to you. If it really hurts, stop; take a couple minutes again where the penis is just pressed against your opening, perhaps stimulate your clitoris a little, or take a big break to talk or snuggle. When and if you're ready, try again. You may find you have to do this any number of times, and since it should still be enjoyable and intimate, there is absolutely no need to apologize for it. In fact, you may find that you don't want to be deeply entered on the first try. That's just fine, as well. Any sort of sex isn't a one-shot deal -- it's a lifelong experience. Anyone in a hurry to "get it over with," is completely missing the boat.
We all also have different personal pain thresholds. For some women, first intercourse pain is a hiccup, and for others they feel a good deal of pain and discomfort. All in all, having your leg broken, or a limb or digit cut off or really intense menstrual cramps should hurt a whole lot more. So does childbirth. Yet it's all in who we are, and how we process and experience pain. If it hurts a lot for you, you aren't a wuss, or weak, and if it doesn't hurt at all, that doesn't mean you weren't a virgin, or that something is wrong with you, either. First intercourse pain is, in general and when it happens at all, fairly mild and short pain if you are aroused, relaxed, properly lubricated, and have a sensitive and patient partner.
There are a very small number of women whose hymens are simply very resistant to opening at all, and these women will feel tremendous pain at attempting intercourse. If you're one of them, you have probably found you cannot use tampons either, nor insert a finger into your vaginal opening. No matter how you try and break down a gate like this, it just isn't going to open, so you'll need to go and see a doctor or gynecologist to deal with it. Sex aside, it's not really healthy or comfortable to go through life with that sort of hymen, so you may need a surgeon or doctor to make an incision before you can do any of these things. Your doctor will talk to you about your options. As well, if pain during intercourse continues and helps like these don't fix things (LINK), check in with your doctor: certain health conditions or issues -- like an infection, a cyst, vulvar vestibulitis and the like -- can also be culprits
You may also bleed during first intercourse, and even during the next few times you try it. If you're well lubricated, and your partner goes slow, that should be minimal, but during the first time, it's usual enough that you'll probably want to wear a menstrual pad (not a tampon, as those can irritate an already irritated vagina) for the first 24 hours or so afterwards. Bleeding doesn't mean anything has been damaged, but simply that some tissue has been stretched, abraded or torn, and, like your lips and mouth, it is tissue that is engorged with blood, so it is opened or stretched, you will bleed.
