Q. I'm embarrassed when we make love because of the sound that comes from my vagina. I feel like my vagina is too big for him. What must I do because he says I'm cheating on him.
A. During arousal, normal physical changes happen - there is swelling of the labia and the vagina typically shortens, with a bulging of the deep vagina - also known as "tenting" - and a narrowing of the external vagina.
This creates conditions in which air can get trapped within and then be forced out during penetration.
During sex, the thrusting of the penis or sex toy into the vagina may cause a build-up of air pressure.
When this trapped air escapes around the penis or toy, it creates a noise that can sound like the vaginal walls slapping together.
These sound effects are not uncommon, and can occur at the peak of arousal and enjoyment, but sometimes they lead to embarrassment.
