passing gas when orgasming
This is a serious question and extrememly embarrassing, but often when my fiance and I are having sex, I uncontrollably pass gas as I orgasm. I find this mortifying. I've tried changing my diet but nothing has changed. I've become hypersensitive about this and spend the whole time we're making love worrying about it. I won't let him think about oral sex because of it. He's laughed it off and says it's not uncommon. This doesn't help me. Any thoughts?
I can see how this is troubling for you, and I can certainly see how it would impact your future love making and the pleasure you are able to experience during. Are you sure it is gas? If it is coming out of your anus, then yes, it is most likely gas. But often during heterosexual intercourse air can become trapped in the vaginal canal (especially when in positions like doggy style), and then when you orgasm or when you stand up and walk around afterward, the air will be released from the vagina and make a sound very similar to passing gas...but it is only air. It could easily be confused with coming out of your anus. This is very common, leading me to wonder if that is perhaps what is happening here. You seem to have a very supportive partner, and I'm sorry I can't offer any more suggestions (maybe one of the MD experts on this site can offer advice). Next time it happens, try to pay attention to see if it is perhaps coming from your vagina, not your anus (in which case, very common).
Hey, thinkin, I also have this challenge. When I had my prostate removed some of the plumbing got re-arranged and now when I orgasm it can be to musical accompaniment. If you can get ahold of the previous year's "Rescue Me" dvds there is a girl with this problem. Its hilarious, even to ones like ourselves, and should leave you feeling that your level of challenge is not really on the same scale. I know it can be embarrassing, but chalk it up to life's little mysteries. Try Kristen's advice, by all means. Hey we all have bodies that have some level of associated problems. Keep your sense of humor. He probably feels powerful knowing he can hump the air right out of you. Tried toys? Like butt plugs? Maybe that would work. Just sayin'. Thanks for keeping it real.
