Sex Farts and Vaginal Queefs: Something to Worry About?

Sex Farts and Vaginal Queefs: Something to Worry About?

By Ksenia Sobchak

There's nothing worse than having wet and wild sex that issuper steamy - only to be interrupted by a ripper of a fart from down under. Sex farts (also known as fanny farts and vaginal queefs) happen when you becomesexually aroused and your vagina expands to accommodate your man's member. The thrusting motion and an increase in pace will force more air into the vagina,and a change in pace or position can force that air out with aless-than-pleasant noise.

While some might find sex farts somewhat entertaining,others find it absolutely mortifying and it has a serious impact on lovemakingand confidence levels. However, although it might sound the same as analflatulence, it's not, and the onlything you have to worry about is the sound. There shouldn' be any funky smellsor leakages associated with vaginal flatulence. If there are, you shouldconsult your local GP or gynae as this may be an infection or a symptom ofanother condition.

Some women experience 'sex farts' every time they haveintercourse, but as long as these are air-caused and don' have any lingeringfoul smells, there is absolutely nothing to worry about. It may be an immediateturn-off for your or your partner, but the big tell is how you react to thenoise. Do you cringe and feel ashamed, or do you laugh it off and carry on with the good vibrations?

A particularly entertaining thread on the Mumsnet forums shows that many women experience queefs, and that they'refar more common after childbirth and are absolutely nothing to worry about.Some Mumsnet members have called them love pumps and fanny flutes and oneuser suggests that it is the ultimate test of love: if you can' laugh after a sex fart, he's not the one for you.
