2nd-Best Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 I wonder why humans have such a strong emotional reaction to farting. It either makes us laugh or we're mortified. Does it have something to do with the mind/body dichotomy? Spirit versus animal? I am really curious about why bodily fluids and expulsions are so powerful in the human psyche. When you look at blood, for example, and how it figures so strongly in so many religious practices. Or at swear words, and how most of them deal with some aspect of bodily functions. Anyway, kind of off topic, but maybe not--marriage itself sort of combines the ethereal and the earthy, and farting in marriage is a manifestation of that contrast. It could have something to do with the fact that its coming out of your ass.. and it stinks!! I think thats the main problem when people are repulsed by it... I know i dont like smelling anyone elses **** but my own.. hahaha thats a joke, i dont want to smell mine either.
Lostgurl Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Okay, how long into a marraige until you're comfortable enough to break wind? I've been with my bf for 4.5 years. We aren't married, but he considers me his wife. Todate, i've only farted in ront of him (concsiously) twice. That was only because i was sick of him farting beside me and waving the smell over. I thought i'd get a little revenge.
Rayne03 Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 I am in tears and laughing so loud my family in the other room are wondering what I am laughing at! This is the funniest thread I've read in a long time! I need to stop laughing and think of something to add cause there is PLENTY of gas in my house!!
NativeMetalGrl Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 people wait till they're married to do that?
carhill Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Holding it in is unhealthy. As a program note, in case my riddles were lost, I opined my wife is the healthiest person I know simply because she farts anytime and nearly anywhere. She is the master of the silent and deadly fart Topically, I don't mind women farting, as long as they can control themselves during good old sixty nine. That's where I draw the line
Crimzoclo Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 How close and open are you with your communication?
Treasa Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Oh my God, I'm dying here. People are probably wondering why I keep laughing. My boyfriend NEVER farts. I guess it's a blessing, but it's also very frustrating because...well, let's just say that I eat very healthy and get a ton of fiber.
Fell_on_black_days Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 I've been married 2 years, my husband farts infront of me all the time, at first i thought it was funny and liked that he was comfortable, now he goes to the bathroom #2 with the door open and i dont know where i went wrong in all this, cuz thats just gross. myself ofcourse i dont fart infront of him, although one time i did fart unintentionally while i was half asleep and i noticed he jerked his head cuz he couldnt believe i actually did it. it hasnt happend again since.
Geishawhelk Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Breaking wind is actually the sign of an unbalanced bowel. There's too much going on in there, of one thing, and fermentation is taking place because the digestion is slower than it could be. I fart once in a blue moon, and it's usually very small and brief. I also evacuate my bowels about 3 times a day, which is quite normal for me. My partner is a veggiephobic, and his diet consists of more meat than anything else. You don't want to be in the same country when he breaks wind.....
