We're all freaks - so don't freak out!
CLEO Singapore|October 2016

Weird sounds or liquids? It’s normal, promise. Clinical sexologist Dr Martha Tara Lee explains all the embarrassing things that happen to our bodies when we’re trying to get jiggy.

We're all freaks - so don't freak out!

No matter how careful you are, the act of undressing to make love to a new partner is very rarely like it is in the movies. Your body will always go out of its way to try to embarrass you. Even if you’ve got the mood lighting and background music just right, there’s nothing like finding a little crumpled bit of toilet paper on your lady bits or a long strand of hair in your butt crack to bring you crashing back to reality.

And that’s just the beginning. Because during sex, we have to let go, and when we let go, anything can happen.

The embarrassing noises

What happens when you breathe out and lift your leg in the air during yoga class? Farts. Chances are, if you’re manipulating your body in ways that shake up your bowl and stretch your sphincter, you are naturally going to fart during sex.
