"I'm fine, really. I don't need it," I muttered, feeling embarrassed.

"Absolutely. The first time can cause small tears, bleeding, or even inflammation. If you're not careful, it could lead to infections or, in rare cases, affect your reproductive health," she said, sounding like she was giving a medical lecture.
