PSA: Sexual Practices to Avoid

pandadair · January 2014

Courtesy of Week 24 in "Your Pregnancy Week by Week":

"Blowing air into the vagina is dangerous because it can force a potentially fatal air bubble into a woman's bloodstream."

You've all been warned. Cut that shit out.

HAndrews25 · January 2014

I didn't know that was a thing. Is that a thing????????

dogsombrero · January 2014

Well that kills my idea involving helium balloons and ice cream cake on DH's B-day.

sparklingdiamond · January 2014

Darn, my plans for the night are ruined!

pandadair · January 2014

Now I want to try it just to figure out how it works. Should I have him cup his hands and blow really hard? I even Google image searched it (because this is what I do with my mornings before I start working) and it didn't return near the interesting results I was expecting. I've generally enjoyed flipping through that book each week, but it got some serious side-eye last night.

spacepotatoes · January 2014

I've read about this in TTC books too. Also didn't realize it was a thing. Air gets in there anyway sometimes, just during the usual proceedings but to actually blow it directly up there? Not my thing.

Climbing off the helium tank right now. Thanks for the heads up.

mrspopsicle · January 2014

Dang. I was planning on getting the leaf blower out tonight!

True story. DH and I got jiggy with it yesterday, a lot. While he was, um, downstairs I kept thinking about this.

Now I want a t-shirt that says "I survived Humpfest '14"

HAHAHA. I have thought the same thing (which basically takes away any and all enjoyment), because I actually read this really early on in my pregnancy. We joke about it often. When he's pissy at me, he threatens that he's going to blow air at me.

We need to CafePress this shirt stat.

Just sitting here, imagining the queef that would result from straddling a helium tank.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

mrsbtobe20122 · January 2014

Who doesn't love a good vag bubble o air?

How have I not heard this before?! Also, how would it cause an air bubble to get into your blood stream. I mean, I barely passed bio in college, but still.

ETA: By barely passed, I mean I slept through it all but twice. I must have missed the genital air bubble blowing day.

Kate070 · January 2014

I wish I had something clever to add, but I've got the pregnancy brain. Laughing way too hard at these images though.

tna112 · January 2014

I think I'm okay since sex has been off the table for a while. I may have to suck it up and do it anyway this weekend for DHs birthday. I'll warn him of this though

I have no idea how it would work! But seriously, I find the concept so disturbing and weird that I have had a super difficult time getting into that since. Imminent death by air by air bubble has never been less sexy.

motoLyn · January 2014

"Damn it Jim, I'm not a balloon" I had read that some where a while back and it made me scratch my head.

Bootsie327 · January 2014

Anyone else picturing a fireplace bellow right now? That's the only way I could imagine achieving this.

Chellbell20 · January 2014

ETA: I just about laughed at ALL of this hard enough to have to explain it to my study hall.

IBackBevo · January 2014

I really wanted to post a gif, but I am afraid if I search the appropriate term or download it to my work computer that I may get fired.

Damn....there go my evening plans. DH is going to be so disappointed

julesf817 · January 2014

Has anyone else seen Wolf of Wallstreet? cause in the first scene...just saying...

pistolpackinmomma · January 2014

I mean I know this is more than you want to know but in all seriousness there have been times during a marathon session that air has gotten up in there. It was rather awkward and uncomfortable but I haven't died yet. And the queef at the end always makes me giggle like a 14 yo boy but it does feel much better after. Kinda like when you have a big fart.

Well, all of those kids will go home having learned at least one thing at school today.

OMG, thank you for saying this. I was wondering how to word it, but this happened to us about a month ago, and the whole time I'm reading this thread, I'm thinking to myself, so what we did,could have harmed the baby?! And after our sexy time I was just constant giggles, not realizing the imminent danger. Good thing I had my AS a couple weeks ago, or else I'd be scared right now. So know this ladies, you don't have to be purposefully blowing air up your vag, it can happen during the act to

k, thanks for the PSA @panadadair haha

ykristos · January 2014

@pandadair -- unrelated, or maybe not in light of the craigslist discussion for your dirty thirty (it makes sense as to why you were reading up on safe sex pregnancies :P) -- Didn't you say your bday was this week? If so, happy birthday, girl!

Christinaruth74 · January 2014

anyone ever seen "Away We Go"? i have referenced this movie here before, for those of you who pay attention to me.
anyhoooooo they address this is the first scene

ps wasn't someone recently asking for blow dryer recommendations?
hmmmmmmmm

jfletcher3113 · January 2014

We stopped blowing air into each others holes right when I got my BFP to be safe. I've missed it immensely but I'm finding a way to struggle through it. Day by day. Day. By. Day.

Themetastic · January 2014

Damn, now I'll never get off

@chellbell20 I have to ask: how exactly did you explain and how old are these students???

ArmyMedic7588 · January 2014

Ok so I just finished my medic recertification for the army and uh... I don't remember that being a way that air can get into your bloodstream. Like seriously... Air in your vag means in there, that's not your bloodstream last time I checked. All the learning I've ever had must be a lie!!! Guess it's true since it's the internet! Putting helium and fireplace bellows away also now. My man will be unhappy with this new tidbit! Haha

spinsoffresonance · January 2014

On an unrelated note, if you stick a straw in your armpit and blow into it, it makes some great fart noises. DH and I saw a little kid doing it at a restaurant one day, and of course we had to try it as soon as we got home!

Oh, I'd call shennanigans on anyone on this board who claimed they'd never once in their life experienced that. But I wouldn't consider that "blowing" air in there. Now I'm picturing my husband's penis like some sort of fleshy bicycle pump.

It's today! And, unfortunately, there probably won't be any random, fetishistic hole blowing courtesy of CL randos. My day has so far consisted of: Wake up. Sit on couch. Eat while sitting on couch. Think "I should go to the gym". Nap on couch instead. Start working at noon while not having managed to even take a shower at any point in the morning. Who was it that said 30 isn't sexy?

I might love that movie and might have watched it 500 times, but doesn't she tell him not to blow on because she hates when he does that? Guess I'll just have to re-watch for the 501st time and find out.
