I was in my late teens, unprepared and anxious. There was no foreplay, no care\u2014just pain. Within minutes, I was bleeding uncontrollably.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"355\" data-end=\"607\">Six sanitary pads later, I called for help. A&amp;E confirmed I had tears in both vaginal walls. Nurses stuffed gauze inside me to stop the bleeding. I stayed two nights in the hospital. One gynecologist gently told me, \u201cThis isn\u2019t how sex is meant to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"609\" data-end=\"772\">Growing up in a South Asian home, sex was taboo. I believed my mum\u2019s warnings: that boys would promise love, then leave. My shame was immense\u2014but my pain was real.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"774\" data-end=\"958\">What I learned changed me: first-time sex shouldn\u2019t hurt. Not everyone bleeds. Comfort, arousal, and communication matter. A lack of sex education left me in pain, confused and scared.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"960\" data-end=\"1135\">Now, sex feels safe\u2014because I know my body, my needs, and my worth. Young women deserve better guidance, better information, and the right to say <em data-start=\"1106\" data-end=\"1115\">not yet<\/em> or <em data-start=\"1119\" data-end=\"1135\">not like this.<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1137\" data-end=\"1192\">Sex should start with consent\u2014and never end in silence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My first time having sex ended not with awkward laughter, but with blood-soaked sheets, panic, and a hospital stay.
