If my boyfriend is anything but extremely gentle, I bleed. I'm sure it's not spotting because my period is dark red and sometimes brownish and kind of thick; post-sex bleeding is bright red or pink and very thin, like blood from a cut. It always stops fairly soon, within ten minutes. Sometimes there's just a little bit of pink mixed with his semen (we have unprotected sex because we were both virgins and I'm on BC) and sometimes it's quite red. The amount of blood is pretty directly related to how gentle he was; the deeper/harder/faster he goes, the more blood there is.
I didn't bleed at all the first time, or a few times after that. My GP ran a few tests and couldn't find a medical reason for the bleeding. I'm going to see a gynecologist after I return from vacation, but I doubt s/he'll find anything, either.
My own opinion is that my vagina is too dry, and the extra friction is making me bleed. We're going to try a lubricant and see if that helps.
