Question
during intercourse I felt a tear and afterwards I realize i was bleeding. At this time i wasnt a virgin, so the tearing that i felt was it just my cherry or is it something else?
Answer
There is no way to know without an exam, but it sounds like "something else." Vaginal tissue is delicate and could have torn.
