Why you should never blow into the vagina during a cunni (or in other contexts, for that matter)? Well, first of all, because it’s a rather odd idea, unlikely to send the person to the seventh heaven. But above all, this gesture, which seems harmless, even comical, can have serious consequences for your partner’s health. An article by Futura Santé takes a look at the question, with a rather worrying anecdote.
The story starts like a bad urban legend. In 2000, a 24-year-old woman presents at the emergency room for severe abdominal and chest pain. It is a pneumoperitoneum, a serious condition in which the abdominal cavity fills with air, which can lead to fatal complications. This is the third time this has happened to her. This is the third time this has happened to her. On questioning her, the doctors discover that the pneumoperitoneum occurs every single time after a cunni, during which her partner blew into her vagina, thus inflating her belly like a balloon. Diagnosis: during such sexual intercourse, large quantities of gas can be blown into the vagina under pressure. The gas can find its way through the uterus and, after dilating the tubes, cause a pneumoperitoneum. The risk is even greater for pregnant women, in whom large quantities of air can easily enter the veins, triggering fatal air embolisms. This is not an isolated phenomenon: 19 cases of pneumoperitoneum linked to a cunni are recorded in the scientific literature. This number is likely to be largely underestimated, as in many cases, the victim of the cunni-balloon doesn’t go to the emergency room, and the pain eventually passes. There is no miracle technique for a successful cunni, and well communicating with your partner to discover her desires often matters more than an encyclopaedic knowledge of female anatomy. But whatever happens, blowing into the vagina is strictly forbidden.
