What Really Is a Queef—and How Can You Prevent One From Happening, Especially During Sex?

Because that farting sound can really kill the mood in the bedroom.

“It happens when a penis, fingers, or sex toy go in and out of the vagina, bringing additional air along with it," says Dr. Ross. "Sex can involve a lot of thrusting of the penis in and out of the vagina, typically pushing extra air into a dead-end space. Inserting tampons, diaphragms and menstrual cups can also push air into the vagina leading to queefing.

“Unfortunately, there aren’t really any specific sex positions that can prevent it,” advises Dr. Greves. “But anytime your vagina is in a position where it is open more, that could increase the risk of creating that flatulence sound later on.” That said, Dr. Ross believes that some positions are more queef-inducing than others. “Certain sex positions such as doggy style and inverted missionary seem to increase the queefing effect,” she explains.

Dr. Greves adds that while it’s not proven, a position like traditional missionary, which has you lying back and your vagina typically less open, would likely minimize the amount of air getting into the vagina, resulting in less queefs. But honestly, maybe the best thing to do is not worry about queefing so much. The next time you’re getting hot and heavy and you let one rip, remind yoursef that it’s natural. “It’s best to enjoy these awkward moments by laughing about it and knowing you both are probably having a really great time creating the queefing effect,” says Dr. Ross.
