It's not uncommon to be sore because you're body's not used to something of that size going in. If I were you, I'd probably wait a few days before trying again (give your body a chance to adjust), and next time make sure that you're using lots of lube (even if you get nice and wet on your own, that "natural" lube isn't as slick as the stuff you buy).

yea, light soreness isn't anything to stress about, even if it's not your first time.

It's not really abnormal to be sore after sex IN GENERAL. I wasn't after my first time, but like the 4th time or so, I was so sore I could hardly sit in the car or at the dinner table. It has happened a few times since, as well.

Now if you're talking sore like an all-around sort of ache, or even an "indian-burn" type feeling, that's usually nothing to worry about. That usually just happens when you need to invest in some water-based lubrication. (Which, by the way, you should do a teeny bit of research on before you head to the love-shack to buy a bucket of it. And don't ever try & get creative and use some home-made potion...you're more likely to cause an infection than a good time)


However, if you feel a more intense paper-cut type pain, you may want to wait before you try again until the pain subsides. That usually indicates a tear if it's near the opening, or a scratch if the pain is more internal.

And on that note, don't ever hesitate to inspect your bf/gf/whoever's fingernails and any toys you might be using. It's not healthy or comfortable to get a scratch inside your body, and I don't think it's the least big rude to inform your partner that he/she has a hangnail or something that you feel needs to be taken care of before it causes a problem.
