Hi I was wondering if you could help me. Whenever my girlfriend has fingered me, I’ve bled. This has never happened to me before. I don’t know why it is now.

That’s definitely not supposed to happen, but there’s a few possible explanations that I know of. Even with these possibilities, I still strongly suggest you visit your doctor to be sure. Don’t take any chances.

1) I’m assuming since you said it’s happened more than once, that it’s not your period that has anything to do with it.

2) Were you a virgin? If you’re still really tight down there, it could be a possible cause for bleeding if the hymen isn’t properly broken.

2) Does your girlfriend have long nails? Or is she rough with you? She could have accidentally nicked you and without allowing time for it to heal enough, the cut could be reopened every time she fingers you.

3) Are you lubricated enough when she fingers you? If you’re not properly lubricated then that can cause irritation and bleeding.

4) Chlamydia and gonorrhea can cause bleeding during sexual activity. You might want to get yourself tested.

5) Vaginal yeast infections and/or bacterial infections can also cause this kind of bleeding.

So my final advice to you? Make an appointment with your regular doctor or a gynecologist.
