A member asked:
Why is blowing into the vagina considered dangerous but air trapped during sex is supposedly harmless? why does one cause an air embolism and the other does not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pressure: The pressure that is built with blowing is problem. A little air is probably not a problem. Quantity and pressure make the difference.
