Question
I recently had sex for the first time two nights ago, and i was wondering if i didnt have sex for a certain amount of time, say two months after i had my first time, would my vagina go back to its normal size again? Also would the hymen grow back? please help.
Answer
I am sorry to say that once the hymen is torn, it will not grow back. You might have heard the phrase "secondary virgin," which women who decide to not have bleeding sex again, have used to describe themselves. It means the choice is always there to not continue to be sexually active.
