ive been having sex for the past 2 years but its generally on and off. the first time i had sex it was just the normal pain that everyone experiances, second time not really i have to say but recently maybe the past 5 or so ive been really sore down there for bout 2 days after. i have actaully only had sex aybe 8 times in the 2 years though and generally a couple of months apar.but i still get blood after it and it can even be sore to sit down. its incredibly painful when i pee but this all stops maybe 3days after. the only std ive ever had was thrush which was years ago. i know it aint normal but anyone know what it is??

Well it's pretty normal the first time, all things considered. Did you use any lube that time? I didn't bleed my first time because of all the natural lube, if you will, I produced. It depends a lot of size and dryness also.
Anyway you said you had sex about 8 times over the course of two years? That's a pretty big gap, so your body may not be completely used to it. I don't know hwo to put this properly, since I'm still waking up. But if you go for awhile without penetration, it seems that the vaginal opening goes back to as if there was no penetration. It doesn't make much sense, I know.

Well during the times you've had sex, was it rough and hard? Also did you use lube or were you adequately damp? If he was large in that department, there wasn't adequate amounts of dampness, and possibly if things were on the rough side, could all contribute.

Please note that thrush is not an STD. Thrush is merely a yeast infection and you do not have to be sexually active to get a yeast infection any place in/on your body. Yeast infections are merely caused by an overgrowth of the candidia bacteria.

candida fungus.

Sounds like perhaps the people you're having sex with are not being gentle enough -- the whole assembly down there is pretty sensitive and delicate. Too much pounding, especially if you aren't used to it, can easily tear a membrane or four, causing bleeding.

Make them go slower and gentler, see if it still hurts.

Pain and bleeding during intercourse can also herald other, more serious problems, and they aren't confined to only STD-problems either.
