Farts.

[QueenofCorona]

Thats right. Gas, flatulence, breaking wind, cutting the cheese.

I was raised this is an embarassing issue, albeit a natural part of human beings, but something that you are discreet about. I just can't ever see myself purposely without care ripping ass in front of people where they would FOR SURE hear it.

I've been with my bf a year now and we are moving in together. He openly farts in front of me, he ofcourse excuses himself but I am just not there yet with that. I don't think I ever will be. I don't do that in front of my friends either but some of my close girlfriends will openly do it as well. I hold that shit in or try my damndest. I don't talk about my bathroom habits in front of him or my friends either. Some things just need to be left behind closed doors in my opinion.

Is that something you are comfortable with? Do you openly fart in front of your significant others with ease, without embarassement?

HAHAHAHAA!

Queenie, you are hysterical!

For the record, am right there with you. Until my anal sphincter starts to fail, and I literally cannot help it, I will keep this to myself, and I deeply appreciate people who do the same. I consider it bad manners to let them loose in public.

[the_robot]

LOL I even hold them when I'm in the bathroom and I know there's someone else in the same house

[asdfg789]

Oh no. Queenie must be really bored.

OK, since you asked - in front of close family and in private - yes.
Any time in public and/or in presence of non-family members - no.

Lol, I think this is more of a guy thing than anything else. When all my friends are over and we're drinking beers and watching football, we rip ass all the time. It's not the fart sound that's so bad, in fact that's kind of funny. What I can't stand is my one friend's acidic, vaporized chimichanga lingering in the air. We call them ninja farts because they are silent and deadly, and they are the worst smelling farts. I can even smell them through the threads of my shirt. I'm sure they would penetrate a gas mask. It's a good thing we don't have flowers everywhere in our apartment, because they would instantly wilt and shrivel up after he blows an 8 on the rictor scale.

Instant death is when he's driving, because the ****er uses the windowlocks on us.

I've just gotten good at letting them out silently.

It's interesting to see how much poetry this topic has inspired from Dopp...anyway very nicely put...

as far as I'm concerned I think mine stink BIG TIME, maybe far worsed than average...and I would not dare exposing even a stranger to that smell...Legend has it that when a beautiful woman farts it smells of vanilla...

Well...NOT.....

As for Queenie, despite all your efforts the truth will come out one day when you least expect it...probably when after a curry night...at 3 AM while you're asleep your body will do all the talking and god bless your BF if he is awake!!!

Silent ones = the worst!!!

[bluesummer]

The only person I can forgive myself for letting one 'slip' out in front of is my husband. Even then, I apologize profusely. He usually just laughs at me.

I was literally sweating to hold one in at my chiropractor's office the other day. Full clench. I was terrified he was going to push on my back and it it was going to come out in full noisy glory. I think I might have died right there if it happened. Turns out I'm skilled at cheek-clenching.

Not necessarily, but I know the ones you're talking about.

[dewilliams2]

I usually don't let them go in front of people. I'm sure I've let some go in my sleep...it happens....but generally I keep it private.

[lahnnabell]

I hate farting in front of people! I had the most humiliating experience in the 2nd grade. We were sitting around my teacher during story time, so it was very quiet. I had to fart and I thought, "Okay, I better let it out slowly and quietly." The exact opposite happened. It was an awful, loud, bubbly fart. EVERYONE turned and looked at me, horrified. My teacher said, "What do you say?" I timidly said, "Excuse me". I don't know how I made it through the rest of the day, but I remember wanting to die in that moment.

I don't mean to be insensitive but I just laughed so hard I almost lost control of my bodily functions.

OMG. I can't relay how awful it was. Glad I can make others laugh though

Oh! And there was another time when I ninja'd my ex boyfriend years ago. We were cuddled on the couch, watching a movie when I let it go. It was soooo bad. So bad in fact that my boyfriend glared at the dog and said, "Abby!" I almost died laughing. I then admitted that it was me. So f'ing funny.

There are different things that indicate true love. Nice words... Nope. Nice things you do for your SO... Nee.


If you're able to fart in front of your partner and vice versa and you both aren't embarassed by it, there is nothing more intimate (sic!) , it MUST BE true love!!

Hahahahahaha and I voted wrong in the pole, I thought in fron of your partner,not people :p Well too late :p No I don't fart in front of people, hell I have big problems to do kaka in house of other people. The first time I went to France to my bf, I didn't do kaka for A WEEK, I just even didn't feel like . Untill once I asked him to leave the flat, and it worked Well, now I still can't do kaka when he's in the room next to the bathroom, but if music is on, then it's fine But farts... It's a different sotry :p I even remember his first fart
