Have you ever finished having sex, turned around, and queefed? And proceeded to then fall off the bed? Yeah, you are most definitely not the only one. Granted falling off the bed right after is probably a different issue.
Julie, a young adult particularly fond of defending the natural bodily functions of anyone with a vagina, spoke on the normality of the queef.
“Hell yeah, I’ve queefed before! And anyone that says they haven’t queefed is lying.
“The first time I queefed actually was in a P.E. lesson in secondary school. I was doing a shoulder stand and I queefed. I was like What Just Happened?!, and it was a gush of air that came up my vagina, and my friends told me I had queefed! And I’ve queefed a couple of times just because I wanted to”
“I’ve queefed freely on my friends’ floor, but I’ve also queefed during sex you know, certain positions kind of just induce the queef.”
Vice Magazine wrote an article surrounding Everything You Need To Know About Queefing, a comprehensive outlook of what it means to queef. They describe it as a release of air from the vagina, a healthy bodily function that just happens. It is the politically correct term instead of just saying ‘vagina fart’.
Does it feel weird, is it embarrassing? Yes, it can be maybe a tad ‘face turns red’ embarrassing but I mean whose face doesn’t become a bit red during sex anyway…
“There’s nothing wrong with it! I think people feel embarrassed or get shy if they queef with their partner or during a one-night stand because you don’t really know the person so you’re not as comfortable around them and then BOOM you queef.”
Probably not the funnest part of having sex…
“It sounds like a fart but it happens to everyone and also if a boy has slept with a girl before, they know it happens and you know just laugh it off.”
She continues on to say: “I think it seems more terrible. The idea of it is worse and then it happens and it’s just like Oh okay, a queef, it’s not actually as bad as I thought it was going to be. Especially if you’re in a relationship, but even if you’re not. If you queef and someone gets funny about it, they need a reality check, because you’re never gonna be with someone who won’t queef in their whole life. I mean maybe but very unlikely, it’s just the female anatomy.”
“That’s the thing, I think people think Oh my god, I’ve just had this really embarrassing moment but actually no, the idea of it is way more embarrassing. And I just think normalize the queef!”
“My boyfriend just laughs it off, and sometimes we just don’t react anymore because why. Especially if you go into certain positions, you’ll queef! But I think because we’ve been together for so long, he knows it just happens. If a guy’s gonna get weird about it, or they see it as a turn-off, then they can just try to not get air trapped”
Is there personal experience linked to the topic? Well yeah definitely, a person with a vagina, god forbid she didn’t queef! That doesn’t mean that you should let it ruin the sexual intimacy or the vibes going on.
One might even compare it to a stomach growling or changing your pad in a public restroom, but like both previous examples, it stays just as normal.
It may not be the sexiest thing about the female body, but that doesn’t ultimately mean that you should be mortified.
