A uterine air embolism is technically possible, but exceedingly rare and unlikely. It would require a combination of high air pressure, trajectory of flow, and a very relaxed cervix. (However, health professionals strongly advise against sexplay with air jets, hot-tub jets and the like, due to that slight possibility.) Normal flatulence that occasionally enters the vagina as a result of sitting at a particular angle or "clenching" cannot possibly create enough pressure to enter the uterus, nor can sexual intercourse - unless the cervix were dilated due to advanced pregnancy, labour or a laminary insertion prior to a D&C procedure. A woman in either situation would likely be paying rather more attention to her bodily comfort.
How do I know all this? I used to work in an OR, and have fielded this question more than once from an anxious patient. The only uterine air embolism I have ever heard of in reality was a post-delivery incident, involving a woman's cervix that didn't contract as quickly as normal. She was cathetered, and the gas passed without harm.

Why does the sperm not go through the uterus on the way out of the mans body?
During ejaculation, sperm travel through the vas deferens, which is a different pathway than the uterus. The vas deferens carries the sperm from the testes to the urethra, where they are ejaculated out of the penis. The sperm do not enter the uterus because they do not need to in order to fertilize an egg.
