Sometimes questions pop into your head that you might feel a little embarrassed about and that you don't dare to ask. Still, you really want more info. No panic: LotteLust gives you the enlightening answers to 3 questions.

1. Is a fungal infection contagious?

A fungal infection can be very annoying. You can get it due to fluctuations in your hormone levels. Being very dry during sex can cause irritations that can also lead to a fungal infection. Also, using lubricant (especially oil-based lubricant) can throw your vajayjay off balance. There are all sorts of different causes and fungal infections are quite common. What is not very common is passing an infection to your partner, but it can happen. Men can also suffer from a fungal infection. If you have an infection that keeps coming back, talk about it with your partner and make sure you both get treated. You don't even need to go to the doctor for this; you can buy a cream at the drugstore that you can both use.

2. Does your vagina stretch when you have a lot of sex or have given birth?

We will relieve you right away, the answer to this question is: no. A vagina does not stretch out, at least not permanently. The inside of a vagina is like an elastic band and the muscle tissue around the vagina can contract and relax. Once you are aroused, your vagina stretches, in depth and width. During childbirth, a vagina can stretch so much that a baby can pass through. At rest, the vagina returns to its original state. And yes, after childbirth, it takes a little longer than after sex, but it is not permanent. Only after menopause can a vagina have more difficulty with elasticity, but that has nothing to do with how many children or how much sex you have had.

3. Are those vaginal farts really necessary?

We get it: it can be quite awkward when an unannounced sound comes from your flamoes. Farts down there are no different than air escaping during sex. The pumping motion pumps air inside, and that air wants to come out again. You could reduce this by positions that minimize this chance, but you can also choose to just ignore the queefs. Or to laugh about it together: that's also very healthy. We would know!
