Out of life’s top 10 most embarrassing moments, farting during sex has got to be one of them. After all, sex is supposed to be hot and intimate — in a good way — not stinky or interrupted by a beyond-unsexy sound.
But like most humiliating events, farting in the middle of intercourse happens to the best of us. Before you crawl under the sheets to hide (or die), here’s everything to know about why the misfortune happens—and how to prevent it.
What causes farting during sex?
Expelling gas is essentially a bodily reflex (did you know you fart several times in your sleep?), but it also can be triggered when push comes to shove — literally.
You see, the vagina and rectum sit next to each other. So when you are tensing your muscles during sex, the rectum may not be able to hold gas as it usually does, explains Dr Kelly O. Elmore, an ob-gyn in California.
The motion of thrusting (vaginally or anally) can also amp up this pressure near your tush and push air out, resulting in toots.

Whoa, so is farting during sex basically queefing?
Nope, not quite. Queefing or “vaginal farts” are simply the result of trapped pockets of air getting pushed out of your vagina.
Expelling gas via your bum, on the other hand, is either caused by swallowing excess air (say, from using a straw) or by bacteria hard at work digesting your food.
And since digestion doesn’t stop for sex, you can potentially let one rip at any moment. Even the really inopportune ones.

Is there anything I can do to prevent farting during sex?
Good news: Yup! A few things actually, but first, it’s important to remember the following: “If you have a lot of gas prior to having sex, you will likely have gas during sex,” Dr Elmore says.
So if you know you’re going to be getting it on after, say, dinner, try to steer clear of hard-to-digest and bloating foods such as gluten, beans (you know the rhyme…), dairy, and cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cauliflower).
“As healthy as veggies are, they also contain starches our body can’t fully break down and digest. When they can’t break down, they produce gas,” explains Dr Niket Sonpal, assistant clinical professor at Touro College of Medicine.
What (and how!) you drink can play a role, too. So avoid carbonated beverages and sipping through a straw, both of which can increase the amount of gas in your body and cause it to be released by both ends.
While all of these recommendations are super doable, there’s just one con: “There is no time period that is classically stated to wait before engaging in intercourse after eating. It’s not like swimming,” Dr Sonpal says. In other words, you may have to experiment with what you eat and when in order to figure out what plan best relieves your farting issue.
Beyond that, when you’re feeling gassy before time with your S.O. and pretty sure you’ll end up letting one rip, Dr Elmore recommends popping a gas-reducing OTC, or sipping on natural digestion helpers, such as ginger or peppermint tea, before things start to get hot and heavy. Hey, it can’t hurt.

Can any other factors make farting during sex worse?
It’s very possible that gas might worsen when you’re pregnant thanks to, among other things, all of those lovely hormonal changes.
More specifically, to support the pregnancy, your body will start to make more progesterone, which relaxes muscles in your body — including those of your small and large bowel, Dr Sonpal says.
“This increased relaxation means the GI tract is moving slower, which allows gas to build up and in turn leads to bloating, burping, and flatulence,” he explains. (Fun fact: This is also why women tend to experience constipation during pregnancy.)
But wait, there’s more: In addition to all of these fun happenings, the growing uterus can put pressure on the GI tract, slowing down digestion and leading to more gas. Sorry, mamas-to-be!
What about sex positions—do any increase your chances of farting?
Well, for one, butt stuff but (eh? eh?) that should go without saying.
As for vaginal intercourse, you’re more likely to fart in positions that mimic fetal position (like spooning variations) and/or compress the abdomen and abdominal muscles, such as doggy style.
Other moves in which your partner presses down against your abdomen or involves you pushing your legs against your stomach will also cause compression of the small and large colon, potentially allowing air to escape, Dr Sonpal explains.

Greaaat. So, how do I handle farting during sex?
Well, being that it’s typically just you and your partner getting it on, it’s hard to pull the whole “who farted?!” move you used to use in middle school.
So take Dr Elmore’s advice and just own it in the moment: “If it occurs, acknowledge it and keep moving.” After all, a sign of a healthy relationship is being able to talk about anything, she adds.
Instead of spending your time focusing on whether or not you’re going to fart, which, btw, is a great way to kill your groove, just laugh it off if and move on.
It’s really no big deal…unless you make it one.

London – Roger Federer admitted on Saturday that his epic Grand Slam rivalry with Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic has helped propel him to his status as one of the greatest players of all time.
Federer is about to embark on his bid to lift a ninth Wimbledon title and record-extending 21st major.
Nadal has 18 Grand Slams while Djokovic lays claim to 15.
Between them, the trio have captured 53 of the last 64 majors, stretching back to Federer’s 2003 Wimbledon breakthrough.
“I think these things don’t come around so often,” said Federer.
“It shows that side-by-side we can have incredible careers. Funny enough, you always think somebody takes away something from the other. Probably we have.
“At the same time, we also pushed each other to greater heights, to improve maybe Rafa’s grass, Novak’s whatever, hard courts, my clay.
“I think we definitely became better because of one another.”
Federer will become the oldest Grand Slam champion of all time if he lifts another Wimbledon title in two weeks’ time.
A month short of his 38th birthday, the Swiss will overtake Ken Rosewall who had just turned 37 when he lifted the 1972 Australian Open title.
In another indication of his All England Club dominance, Federer needs only five more wins to reach the 100-victory mark at the tournament.
He has been seeded second for Wimbledon which starts on Monday ahead of Nadal despite lagging a place behind the Spaniard in the world rankings.
Nadal says the system is unfair but Federer insists the seedings will have little effect on the outcome.
“We knew that the system was in place. I guess it rewards you for playing well on grass,” said Federer.
“Just happens that this year I get bumped up. Kevin Anderson got bumped up. Back in the day, it was tougher. Guys who were seeded became unseeded. So that was a bigger storyline I think than this one.
“Just happens that Rafa obviously went down, so I think that makes the news.”
The draw left two-time champion Nadal potentially facing Federer in the semi-finals – if he gets that far.
The 33-year-old could meet Nick Kyrgios in the second round, five years after the then unknown Australian knocked him out in one of the tournament’s biggest ever shocks.
However, Federer cannot be too complacent with a possible semi-final against Anderson.
Last year, he lost in the quarter-finals to the giant South African despite having a match point.
Gang-related battles in Westbury have claimed another two lives in the volatile Johannesburg suburb this week.
The surge in gang-related violence across South Africa recently prompted Police Minister Bheki Cele to roll out the Anti-Gang Unit countrywide.
Cele announced this week that the AGU had been elevated to a national level, because “gangsterism is spreading across” the country.
He made this announcement in Parliament during the State of the Nation debate this week, a day after a community activist had raised concerns that the unit had been operating without a proper budget.
In Westbury on Thursday night a man was shot and killed during what residents described as a gang war between three rival groupings – the Varados, Fast Guns and newly established Disciples gang.
Police spokesperson Captain Mavela Masondo said at about 19:30, the victim was at Dowling Street in Westbury when he was approached by a gunman who fired a shot at him.
“The victim was taken to hospital where he was certified dead on arrival. The motive for the killing is unknown at this stage and police have opened a case of murder for investigation,” he said.
No arrests have been made in this case.
Then on Friday evening, a 15-year-old was allegedly shot dead by a 16-year-old who was playing with a loaded firearm at a block of flats in Claremont, Westbury.
The teenage suspect is in police custody.
Masondo said the deceased and his friends were listening to music on the stairs of their home when the suspect arrived with a firearm.
‘He cocked the weapon again’
“The suspect then asked them ‘who is talking a lot’ among them. He took out a firearm and cocked it. He then released the magazine and informed the deceased and witnesses that it was a real firearm. He cocked the weapon again.
“The suspect pointed the gun to the ground and pulled the trigger. A bullet went off, hitting the ground, ricocheted and struck the deceased on his back and exited through his shoulder,” said Masondo.
Police found the weapon in the suspect’s possession.
“The suspect claimed the weapon was not his and it belonged to someone else in the area. Police proceeded to the person whom the gun allegedly belonged to. When police started questioning the alleged owner of the firearm, he claimed that it was his firearm. Further investigations revealed that the firearm was reportedly stolen and he was arrested for possession of an unlicensed firearm,” said Masondo.
The teenage suspect is expected to appear in court on charges of murder and possession of unlicensed firearm, while the other suspect linked to the gun is expected in court on charges of illegal possession of an unlicensed firearm.
Masondo said police are investigating if the two murders are gang-related.

While News24 was in the area on Saturday, three armed men exchanged fire at a block of flats in Newclare, Westbury.
Community leader Shaheim Ismail said the two armed men who are known allegedly chased after another armed men seeking revenge for the death of the man who was killed on Thursday night along Dowling Street.
The deceased was believed to be a member of the Varados gang.
Residents, especially relatives of the deceased, refused to speak to News24 fearing for their lives.
Hunching over laptops and smartphones for hours on end does your back no favors. In fact, it’s one of the biggest—and most important—muscle groups we’re guilty of ignoring. And the issue isn’t just aesthetics (though a toned back can help you look better in that suit or strapless dress). “Back strengthening exercises are crucial to maintaining functional movement and preventing back injuries for all populations,” says Matthew Wert, M.D., an Orthopedic Surgeon and Director of Sports Medicine at New York Methodist Hospital.
Your back is used in nearly every movement you perform throughout the day, from bending over to tie your shoes, to carrying your backpack or purse to putting your luggage in the overhead bin on flights. However, the back is one of the most commonly injured parts of the body for all age groups, according to Wert. “Workplace exercises and back health maintenance are crucial, because although a desk job may seem relatively easy on the body, maintaining a sitting position for long periods of time strains the back and places pressure on our discs,” says Wert.

Your job: To make your posterior a priority, Wert says. In addition to getting up and moving around at least once every 60 minutes, it’s time to get back to basics with a few key bodyweight moves. The five exercises below will target the lats, lumbar and rhomboids, not to mention the spinal erector muscles that surround, stabilize and support the spine. The best part? No heavy weights are needed!
How to: Position yourself face down on the ground with arms at your sides and palms facing down. Peel your shoulders and hands a few inches off the ground by pinching your scapula together and engaging your lats and rhomboids in your mid-back (a). Keeping your head facing down, in a slow, controlled motion, bring your arms up past your shoulders and up to your ears until your thumbs meet directly above your head (b). Then, bring your arms back to the starting position. The key here is keeping the arms straight and elbows locked through the entire movement to engage your lats and shoulders (c). Repeat for 3 sets of 5 reps, with 30-60 seconds of rest between sets.
Beginner modification: Move the arms only halfway so that they are even with your shoulders and then return to the original starting position.

How to: Position yourself face down on a bench so that the crease of your hip is at the end of the bench. Your feet should be resting on the ground with your hands firmly engaged on the underside of the bench for support (a). Straighten out your legs while raising them up while engaging your abdominals, glutes, hips, and spinal erectors in your low back. Your toes should be pointed away from your body and above your head at the top of the movement (b). Hold this static position for 5 seconds by firmly engaging nearly every muscle in your body, before dropping the feet slightly below the bench and contracting again for 4 additional reps (c). Repeat for 3 sets of 5 reps, with 30-60 seconds of rest between sets.
Beginner modification: Move the hips slightly further up the bench so the trunk is better supported.
How to: Lie face down with your chin on the ground and eyes at a neutral gaze. Your ankles should be touching with toes pointed under you (a). Reach your arms straight out above your shoulders so your palms are resting flat on the floor. Engage your back, glutes and shoulders to pull yourself a few inches off the ground (b). Your arms and legs should remain fully contracted so that your hands and feet are elevated to the same relative height at the top of the static hold position. Hold this position while fully engaging your body to “fly” like the man of steel (c). Repeat for 3 reps with a 15-30 second static hold, and 30-60 seconds rest between sets.
Beginner modification: Perform an “Aquaman” by raising and lowering the opposite arm and leg simultaneously in the same fashion as the “Superman.” Hold for 5 seconds, and shoot for 3 sets of 10 reps with a 1-minute rest.

How to: Stand up straight with your hands on your hips. Your feet should be slightly wider than your hips and firmly planted on the ground. Start the movement by engaging your core, pushing your ribs down and pulling your shoulders slightly back with a neutral neck position (a). Bend forward at the waist in a slow and controlled manner while keeping your shoulders in line with your hips (b). Keep your back, glutes and hamstrings engaged throughout the exercise. Bend forward until you are parallel, or just above parallel to the floor, before bringing yourself back up to the starting position and repeating (c). Note: A common error to this exercise is rounding the back, resulting in a loss of the neutral spine position. Form is crucial to this exercise and should be replicated perfectly on each rep to avoid injury and get the most out of the exercise. Repeat for 3 sets of 10-15 reps, with a 30-60 second rest between sets.
Beginner modification: Perform seated good mornings instead. Sit in a chair with your shoulders over your hips, legs bent at a 45-degree angle. Plant your feet firmly underneath your knees, hands on your hips. Engage your core and slightly pull your shoulders back, then proceed to bend forward to a 45-degree angle before coming back to the starting position.

How to: Up for a real challenge? Even experienced gym rats should process with caution. For this advanced move, you’ll start in a push-up position with your feet against the wall (a). Next, walk your feet up the wall while keeping your core tight, hips flexed and spine neutral (b). Place your palms firmly on the ground just outside shoulder width as you begin to inch your hands towards the wall. The top of the position will be reached when just your nose and toes touch the wall with firm hand placement on the floor and rigid core for a “hollow body” position (c). Upon completion, safely come down by walking your hands away from the wall and bringing your feet down in a controlled manner (d). Repeat for 3 reps with a 15-30 second static hold, and 30-60 seconds rest between sets.
Beginner modification: Stand with your back against a wall with feet spread apart wide. Bend your knees and place your hands firmly on the floor, slightly wider than your shoulders. Straighten out your legs to just a “soft knee” and begin to walk your hands in towards your feet, head in neutral alignment with your spine. Actively push your glutes to the ceiling as your core and back remain rigid and your shoulders open up. You may notice a good stretch, too — but who says you can’t get strong and mobile at the same time?
