Hey ya'll!

My boyfriend and I both LOVE doggy style, but everytime we finish I have these uncontrollabe little farts from my vagina. He never says anything but I'm so embarrassed! One of my guy friends says it's completely normal and it has happened with some of the women he's been with. My question is, is this common with other women? and why only during doggy style? It's my second favorite position but I'm always very cautious to do it and am starting to not enjoy it...help!

Yes this is normal. It is know as vaginal queefing. Type that in and you'll find sites that discuss it Sorry I tried to put the link in here but couldn't figure out how :(

Don't worry about it. There's not much you can do to stop it anyway, except to laugh it off or ignore it, as your partner does. Air is drawn in and it has to come out again.

When your head is lower than your pelvis, your organs shift down and upward toward your head, that allows air to be drawn into that open space-your vagina-helped along, of course, with his thrusting. You might try staying up on all fours, keeping your head level with your butt, but that still may not help.

I've even noticed quiet cuifs when doing yoga poses where my pelvis is above my head in the past and I'm not the only one either! LOL!

This happens to all of us though and is completely normal. Just don't let it stop you from enjoying this great position. I sure don't!

yeah girl it's a "queef" so embarassing. guys for the most part know what it is and are pretty good about it. but if the air is going in it's gotta come out somewhere unfortunately

thank you girls so much! I'm so relieved it's not just me!!! Someone else told me earlier that doing your kegels might help keep it from happening..but I guess I'll just keep laughing it off and hope he doesn't care..

thanks again
