Why do we fanny fart during sex?

As part of Mamamia TV’s Things You Can’t Say On TV series, we’re talking about – you guessed it – things you can’t usually talk about.

This week, it’s the all about the embarrassing fanny fart.

You know- a queef, a vart, vaginal flatulence, a muff puff. Basically it’s just that god awful sound that slips out in the throes of passion that usually leaves both participants wide-eyed and a little red faced.

So what actually IS a fanny fart?

“You’ve gotta learn to love them, because they do tend to happen. You’ve effectively got a vagina that’s normally a bit of a flat tube, much like a balloon,” Dr Mansberg says.

“Sometimes when you’re having sex it’s quite a rigorous pumping action ushing air into the vagina.”

But you need to see the demonstration to truly get it.

You learn something new every day, right?
