I would be asking a doctor that question. There obviously is a problem and I urge you to get to your doctor.

There are many possible reasons for bleeding that occurs during or after intercourse. Since you have previously had intercourse before, it is unlikely that you "broke" your hymen (the hymen is a thin layer of tissue that partially covers the vaginal entrance and is filled with blood vessels, thus causing bleeding in some women when it first tears due to penetration). The hymen may tear from various types of penetration including intercourse, vaginal fingering, or insertion of a sex toy. The hymen does not "grow back" if you have not had sex in a long time, as is sometimes mistakenly believed.
It is possible that you experienced some vaginal or vulvar (outside parts of the genitals) tearing during intercourse. If it was a small amount of blood, it is unlikely that you would have experienced much pain. If there was a large amount of blood on the sheets, then one would usually expect some pain or discomfort, though perhaps the alcohol dulled the pain at the time and it was resolved the next morning. We know that alcohol lowers inhibition, and it may actually work against your physical arousal, making intercourse more difficult and leading to tearing.
When women have tearing around the entrance of the vagina, or just inside, healthcare providers sometimes prescribe specific antibiotic ointments in order to reduce the risk of developing an infection. Therefore if you think you may have tearing inside, you might check in with your healthcare provider so that he or she can exam you (tearing, by the way, happens to many women at one time or another). Why might tearing occur? It often occurs during rough penetration or when a woman is not well lubricated ( e.g., if you did not spend much time in foreplay before having sex or if sex went on for a long time, both of which can occur while intoxicated as couples sometimes jump into sex and a man's orgasm may be delayed or not occur at all, thus making sex take longer than usual).
Though women can react from a hypersensitivity or allergy to condoms or lubricant, these are unlikely to cause such bleeding. Another possibility is that one of you may have had a cut elsewhere (i.e., on your knee or hand). That happens sometimes too, with couples mistaking it for vaginal bleeding.
Whatever the cause, this is actually a fairly common occurrence and nothing to be embarrassed about (though we understand that it can feel embarrassing at the time). It is common for men and women to find it difficult to discuss sexuality (particularly when they are relatively new to sex), and it can feel even more challenging to discuss sexual topics if you don't know each other very well. Because vaginal bleeding during sex happens to most women at some point, many couples take it in stride and move on. If you feel like you want to discuss it, you might start by letting your partner know that it feels awkward for you to talk about it, but that you'd feel better if you could. Best of luck.

Are you pregnant? When you are pregnant there is increased blood flow to the cervix, and even minor irritations can cause bleeding. If you are not pregnant...ask yourself if your partner is hurting you? Is sex comfortable. Maybe you should have your partner be more gentle, or use some lubrication. But to be on the safe side, ask your doctor if this is normal.

Two things come to mind. You don't have enough lubricant. Or you may have a polyp or something at the top of your vagina near the cervix. I had this problem and it just happens sometimes. It just fell out when the doc nicked it, but they did a biopsy just to be sure.
Try the lubricant and if that isn't working for you, see your gyn.

Maybe it's a little rough, or he is going deeper than he should be... it could be a lot of things. If you are in pain then I would suggest going to the GYN and getting checked out. Good Luck!

Well, the likely possibilities are that you are not getting properly worked up by your partner beforehand, your partner is too rough, or there is something medically wrong.
