    Question

    I got fingered last night, and i started bleeding while it was happening...This was the first time I have ever done anything of that sort and am a little worried about it happening again. First of all, what caused the bleeding....2nd of all is it likely to reoccur?

    Answer

    Chances are good that you bled when your hymen was torn, and chances are it will not happen again, because you are not a virgin anymore. The other option is that your partner was rough and the very tender vaginal tissue was ripped, and will heal.
