Embarassing sex question...

I have a rather embarassing question...when my boyfriend ejaculates in me while we're having doggie-style sex, a horrible "gassy" sound comes out of me once I try to sit up or stand up. It's a really gross noise but it's the sound my body makes (I'm not passing gas, it's just the air coming out of me and the semen is what makes the gassy sound, I guess)...is this normal? It doesn't do that when we're in other positions after he orgasms, but it always happens during doggie-style. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to silence the sound?

Yes it's normal and not much you can do about it.

It has nothing to do with his semen, it is caused by air being sucked or pushed into your vagina. Think of your vagina as a balloon. When you blow air into it, and release the opening, the air comes out.

In your case, doggie style, your pelvis is higher than your torso. When you get into that position, your uterus moves up toward your shoulders, and pulls the cervix with it, which in turn lengthens your vagina, and pulls air into it. When you return to an upright position, your uterus and cervix drop down, and push the air out again.

It's NOT gross, and it shouldn't be embarassing, because it' very common, so common that there's a name for it.....it's a "quif". When it happens, ignore it, or even laugh about it. Your partner has heard it before!

This is completely normal and nothing to be embarrased about. What you are hearing is air escaping, and is caused by the position doggie style. During sex his is pushing air into your canal, and is playfully called a "queef" by my fiance. I remember the first time this happened to me I was mortified, but my fiance burst out laughing to my relief. If your man loves you he won't let it bother him and may even find it amusing as well. Hope this helps!
