Well I'd say go slow. Just make sure he washes before hand because after I did it the first time I got a yeast infection.

Im still bleeding lightly but its felt normal since 1 week. I never tore, the only thing that ever hurt was the taint swelling. That went away long ago.

You should stop within a week. And I say it depends how you feel down there. Its your body so you can tell. With my first I waited 4 weeks and just went slow to make sure. But I had stopped bleeding and it felt normal. Well except I was super tight because I hadn't had sex in 4 weeks haha. My doctor said 4-6 weeks.

You should wait a little longer to have sex in my opinion. 3 weeks isn't long enough to heal especially if your still discharging. That's why they tell you to wait at least 6 weeks.
