FARTING DURING S*X IS A THING THAT HAPPENS
— Here’s Why
So this is... normal?
S*x can be awkward at the best of times, whether it's being intimate with a new partner or having s*x again after a dry spell. Then when you factor in everything from queefs to leg cramps to being on your period, s*x can also be hella awkward and uncomfortable at the worst of times.

S*x can be awkward at the best of times, whether it's being intimate with a new partner or having s*x again after a dry spell. Then when you factor in everything from queefs to leg cramps to being on your period, s*x can also be hella awkward and uncomfortable at the worst of times.
Let's not forget about farting.
Maybe you ate too many cruciferous vegetables at dinner or are experiencing a bout of bloating. However you got here, you should know that experiencing a case of the untimely t***s while getting down is a real-life experience that can happen to anyone.
Though it can be embarrassing and awkward, farting is a natural bodily function, and as recent surveys have shown, couples who are open enough to fart in front of each other may have stronger bonds and better emotional health as a couple.
Whether you find it humiliating or hilarious, letting one rip during a hot and heavy bedroom session is (mostly) normal. If you're wondering how many is too many t***s, and if there are ways to control the urge to pass gas while being passionate, below are some expert tips on what you need to know about farting during s*x.
Is farting during s*x normal?
Yes, farting during s*x is super normal.
There are various reasons explaining why you might fart during s*x. The first of which, she says, is increased abdominal pressure since s*x involves movement and pressure on the abdomen, which can push gas out of the intestines or re**um.
Another common reason? The food you're eating prior to s*x: "The foods consumed before s*x can play a role. Foods high in fiber, sodas, and dairy (for those lactose intolerant like me) can cause excessive gas production, making it more likely to be released during intimate moments,"

Is farting during s*x normal?
Yes, farting during s*x is super normal.
According to s*xologist Dr. Tara Suwinyattichaiporn, there are various reasons explaining why you might fart during s*x. The first of which, she says, is increased abdominal pressure since s*x involves movement and pressure on the abdomen, which can push gas out of the intestines or re**um.
Another common reason? The food you're eating prior to s*x: "The foods consumed before s*x can play a role. Foods high in fiber, sodas, and dairy (for those lactose intolerant like me) can cause excessive gas production, making it more likely to be released during intimate moments," Suwinyattichaiporn explains.
Pelvic floor and a**l sphincter control may be another reason, says Suwinyattichaiporn, since the pelvic floor muscles play a big role in controlling bowel movements and gas release. If these muscles weaken or relax during in*******se (especially in penetrative s*x), it can cause the unintentional release of gas.
And people who have IBS, eat a high-fiber diet, are lactose intolerant, or have weaker pelvic floor muscles are also more susceptible to releasing gas during s*x.
What are the best positions to avoid this?
If you've eaten some Taco Bell takeout and you're worried that some tooting is definitely in the cards, Suwinyattichaiporn says there are a few positions that are good for fart prevention.
She recommends spooning since, in this side-lying position, "both partners face the same direction, reducing pressure on the abdomen and allowing for more controlled muscle engagement."
Also, she suggests a relaxed missionary position with minimal deep thrusting and pressure on the stomach, which can help avoid unnecessary gas movement.
If you're concerned about positions to avoid that would encourage farting, Suwinyattichaiporn advises against doggy style, which can put pressure on the stomach and intestines, increasing the chance of farting. The same goes for any deep pe*******on positions. "Positions with deep thrusting can stimulate the intestines, shifting trapped gas," she explains.
What can you do to prevent farting during s*x?
Number one tip to prevent farting during s*x is to focus on your diet first. "Eat a moderate amount of natural foods that don't cause gas and bloating before s*x or have s*x before lunch or dinner," she suggests. Basically, skip the bowls of chili and high servings of broccoli and ice cream before heading to the bedroom.
Swallowing a lot of air, such as eating or drinking quickly or chewing gum, can also increase flatulence. "Try taking your time while eating and drinking, and don't chew gum before s*x," Suwinyattichaiporn advises. If you want that fresh breath feeling, "opt for mints instead!"
Constipated? Then, you're more likely to fart during s*x. If you struggle with constipation,
Suggests trying fiber supplements to help with your daily bowel movement or seeking advice from your doctor for a long-term solution.
