A member asked:
Is it possible to have an air embolism from sexual intercourse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Air embolism : No. Air embolism is the introduction of air into the vascular system in sufficient volumes to compromise the blood flow to a target organ (usually the lungs, heart and brain). This is not possible with sexual intercourse. Sex can introduce air into the abdominal cavity but this is harmless.
