A member asked:

I wanted to know why is blowing air into the vagina dangerous?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Air embolism: If the labia lips are closed and the air "forced" into the vagina under pressure, the air finds its' way into the vaginal veins. After that, it travels to the lungs creating a "blockage" that can cause a quick death. This is NOT a good idea of a "blow job" for a female.
