About

POMF is a sound effect and onomatopoeia describing the sound someone makes as they fall onto a bed or a similar surface. It is commonly described through the symbol =3 and combined with the catchphrase "What are we gonna do on the bed?". On the internet, the term has gained usage in both verbal and image variations and is often used as an exploitable.

Origin

The term, the symbol and the catchphrase all originate from the hentai manga The Light of Tsukimi Manor (月見草のあかり) by Inuboshi (犬星), which was first published in the September 2010 volume of COMIC MEGAMILK (コミックメガミルク). The manga depicts a young girl, Akari, being tricked into having sex with three students.
