Q:
My girlfriend loves sex, but she gets embarrassed about farting a lot when I am inside her. None of my previous girlfriends had this problem. Is there a reason why she seems to pass so much gas when we have sex? Does it mean she used to have a lot of anal sex that she doesn’t want to tell me about?
A:
No, your girlfriend’s propensity to be flatulent doesn’t reveal anything about past anal experiences. When she climaxes, the muscles around her genitals, including the sphincter muscle, relax. When they do, it’s not unusual for a little gas to escape. It is more likely to happen during intercourse because the penis rubs against the anus through the vaginal wall, and that in-and-out motion may trigger gas. If it really embarrasses her, suggest that she take an over-the counter antigas medication before jumping in the sack.
