Yes very common. If bleeding persists or becomes heavy you should be examined. Current guildlines recommend that you have a PAP within 3 years. If you haven't had the HPV vaccine I recommend you do so.

Yes it can be normal to have light bleeding during the first few times of having intercourse. You likely have a torn hymen, which is normal. If you have not had a gynecological exam yet I suggest you schedule one. Both to be sure that is all that is going on and to get your first Pap and STD testing.

You may have a little irritation, a small tear in the hymnal ring or a polyp - this can easily be checked with an internal exam. It is important that you schedule a GYN exam
Yes, it is not unusual. But if it continues then you may need a gyn exam.

sure everything

is alright.
It is very common to have some bleeding the first few times you have intercourse, however there may be another reason why you are bleeding such as a vaginal septum or thickened hymen. If the bleeding continues i would see a gynecologist for an exam. It is also important to be using some type of contraception so you can plan your pregnancies rather than become pregnant by accident. Good luck.
Should I be relaxed, is that another cause of it bleeding. Because I tighten my muscles

The first few times you have intercourse, the hymen, a menbrane at the opening of the vagina, is stretching and there can be smal tears which bleed. This should resolve. Using lubrication may help as well as being gentle with your body.
