Why your vagina farts during sex

They show in movies that sexual noises are only a couples of aahs and oohs, paired with certain swearing you utter that elevate the mood. Make no mistake, that isn’t the case when it comes to real life. Sex is a mess of sorts, with sounds you wish no one hears, bad smells and bodily fluids. This is why we say that sexual encounter can make you vulnerable and that’s precisely why you must have it with someone you trust. Enough for the didactic digression though, here’s the matter; what is a vaginal fart, more precisely queefing, exactly? Here are eight facts about queefing you sure should not miss.

2/9

​It is not a fart

It is not a fart

Queefs, though may be colloquially referred to as vaginal farts, are not farts. They are merely the release of air through your vaginal canal. This occurs because sexual penetration leads to air getting pushed in and trapped in the vagina.

3/9

​Why it sounds like a fart

Why it sounds like a fart

In queefing, the sound comes due to vibrations in the vulva and vagina lips. Your vagina is not a straight, smooth canal. It has a wrinkly texture and this explains why air gets stuck in it a lot of times.

4/9

​Certain positions are more likely to make you queef

Certain positions are more likely to make you queef

The position in which the chances of queefing are the most is doggy style. This is because in this position, your partner pushes more air into your vaginal canal.

5/9

​Are queefs unhealthy?

Are queefs unhealthy?

Not at all. It is only natural for your vagina to release the air that’s trapped in it due to penetration. However, care may be taken if you are pregnant. The air can get in your pelvic muscles and can lead to a condition called air embolism. However, the situation remains very rare.

6/9

​Queefs never smell bad

Queefs never smell bad

Unlike normal farts which are due to the breakdown of bacteria during digestion, queefs are merely due to air getting trapped in your vagina. There is no reason they should smell like your smelly farts. You can call them your vagina making fart sounds just like your mouth.

7/9

​You cannot do much about your queefs

You cannot do much about your queefs

Air getting trapped inside the vagina is only natural during sex. The only thing that can be done to avoid it is to slow down the speed of sex. But that is not a very realistic solution.

8/9

​What you can do instead: Don’t be embarrassed

What you can do instead: Don’t be embarrassed

We know that life is unfair, you can hardly control your bodily functions and your best moments have to sound like farts, but it has to be fine at the end of the day. All you must do is gracefully recover from the awkward position of a vaginal fart. Give your partner a heads up if he doesn’t already know and what you probably can do is just laugh it off.

9/9

​Queefs don’t happen only during sex

Queefs don’t happen only during sex

You can queef while you are doing jumping jacks or while coughing or while trampolining. It doesn’t only have to do with sex.
