A member asked:
While masturbating it felt like there were air bubbles in my vagina but i did not stop, was air getting sucked inside? can this cause an air embolism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No danger of air: embolism from masturbation. You CAN introduce air into the vagina while masturbating, but it is not harmful in any way. There is no connection between the vagina and the pulmonary vessels.
