D-Lish Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 I don't do it in front of someone I am dating. My ex husband used to do it all the time and laugh like a school boy. Yes, he'd trap me under the covers as well. My recent ex also had no issues doing it around me. Not all the time, but he'd do it and giggle. I have to admit it makes me giggle too. It's a silly sound, can't help myself!
Author LovieDove24 Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 What would an "excuse me" change? He is clearly doing it on purpose and could not be bothered to excuse himself so what would an underhanded "excuse me" really accomplish? I don't get that!?!? Well if it helps to explain I've let loose and farted in front of my exes (I don't feel comfortable enough with this one yet) so really I am not against it. It's a bodily function. What bothers me is that he purposefully was making a big deal about it and acting immature by wafting it towards me. That is the inconsiderate part to me.
Author LovieDove24 Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 Yes apparantly this thread is VERY TMI. Lol. Im kinda a crude gal though so I'm fine with it
Author LovieDove24 Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 consider yourself lucky...i generally start around the one month mark and after the two month mark i'm letting them rip under the covers See all these other people were makin me feel like I found a lone sicko in the world or something.
Jersey Shortie Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 I do NOT "fart" ( shoot I hate that word) infront of SOs if I can help it. There is something to be said for being comfortable around each other but there is also something to be said in keeping a little mystery and privacy. Some things kill romance. And him being my romantic partner means that such humanly bodily functions as farting is going to kill it. Me farting..kills the romance...me keeping tampons around..umm yeah totally kills the romance..Him farting..kills the romance. I am firm believer that some things should be left up to mystery. I am not his buddy. I am his girlfriend. He can fart infront of his buddies but he should not be farting around his girlfriend. I am not one of those people that thinks its okay to leave the bathroom door open when you are in there doing your business just because your a close couple now. There are other ways we can be close. Close the door, hide the tampons and make sure to leave the room if you have to fart. Thank you.

Close the door, hide the tampons and make sure to leave the room if you have to fart. Thank you. I completely agree. There's a fine line between intimacy and letting it all hang out/letting yourself go. This is one of the reasons some old married couples become more like roommates than lovers. Accidents are excusable, but being too lazy to keep some things in private is a no-no. I dated a guy briefly who once asked me if he could join me in the bathroom. When I replied "no" he said, "why not? My ex girlfriend and I used to do it all the time." That about did it for me.
Author LovieDove24 Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 Tampons? Really? I think those are standard hygiene products. Its like finding a guys nose hair trimmer. Not cute, but a fact of reality. I guess the trend I'm seeing here on this thread is everyone has a different grossout threshold.

Now used tampons would be another matter.
Jersey Shortie Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 I was more talking about used tampons but I didn't want to get too gross. And I agree with shadow play that said it makes you more like roommates then lovers.

It may be a fact of life but I don't want anyone thinking "eew, period blood!" each time they walk into my bathroom and see the tampon box.
D-Lish Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Oh man, the dreaded tampons. The first time I went away with my now ex husband, I met his best friend and his gf. She was about 4 inches taller, and had about 30 lbs on her bf. There were a bunch of us at a cottage, and her bf said something that riled her up and she chased him down, jumped on him- pinned him down and farted on his head. Not kidding!! They did it to each other a lot. All the girls were mortified, the guys thought is was hilarious... and I laughed. Well... they are still together and now happily married with two kids. I truly don't care if my bf farts in front of me. If that's his little way of letting loose and getting some boyhood amusement out of it- go ahead. I couldn't imagine spending the rest of my life with someone and never being okay with such a thing. I find amusement in almost everything- including that.
AlektraClementine Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 I guess I'm the only weirdo in this group:o My boyfriend farts in front of me all the time. He has horrible gas. It usually doesn't smell but it sure is loud. He thinks it's funny and I'll admit it. I think it's hilarious. I really do think it has a lot to do with your comfort level and your sense of humor. Sometimes if I say something particularly smart ass to him, he'll retort by giving me a serious look and he'll just fart. He has been dying for me to do it in front of him. I personally don't fart in front of anyone. Yes. I'm old school and I find it unladylike in the presence of company. **before you start berating me for knocking my gender back a few decades...this is a personal feeling. It's about me, not every woman in the world**
Confusedalways Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 I would never do it. Nor would I want my boyfriend. I think it's absolutely gross. Don't get me wrong, I don't have like a constant stick up my ass or anything but I don't think bathroom humor is even slightly funny. If I won't do it around my parents or best friends, I won't do it around my boyfriend and I certainly would not do that in front of my parents or best friends. I don't really think it has anything to do with comfort level per se, but I really just think it's honestly straight up disgusting.
AlektraClementine Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone who thought that farts were pleasant. Of course is gross. It's supposed to be. I happen to be "comfortable" with my boyfriend farting in front of me. It doesn't cause any feelings of unease for me. Therefore, to me it has quite a bit to do with "comfort level".
Confusedalways Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 To each their own. Doing that or having him do it in front of me would not indicate that we are more or less comfortable than, for example, you and your boyfriend. Obviously this is going to vary from person to person.
AlektraClementine Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 let me clarify. I am not referring to "comfort level" as it pertains to your relationship. I'm referring to "comfort level" as it pertains to farting. But that's obviously what the thread's about.

Hey, I giggle like a school girl when I hear someone do it. I also find bathroom humour amusing. I don't really do it in front of others- besides my parents or my brother. My ex also used to have a habit of looking at me seriously and then letting one rip. I'd giggle, can't help it. Hell, I've been sitting by myself and one of my dogs will have a loud fart... I laugh out loud. I don't know why I find it funny, I just do.
Island Girl Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 I rarely pass gas even in private. I just am not a gassy person I suppose. When I do it even catches me by surprise and I almost jump out of my skin. However, there have been two occasions when I accidentally have in front of my husband. I jumped, turned absolutely crimson, and sheepishly said excuse me. He completely ignored it the first time and pretended like he didn't notice (we were living together). The second time was years later and he just grinned and said, "we're married and I know you are human. It's okay baby." There have been several occasion when he has. He does NOT do it in public and only rarely in private and he immediately says "excuse me" just as he does when he burps -- which he does softly and covers his mouth unlike those apes who just open their mouths and burp as loudly as they can. That is gross too. To me it is all rude and should not be for public display EVER.
Isolde Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 For some reason, guys really like to burp when on a date with me.
Citizen Erased Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Hmn that got me thinking. I am not a very gassy person myself, maybe that's why I can say I'd never do it in front of my SO. I guess those that can help it can be all hoity toity about it.
whichwayisup Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Let's put it this way, I'm NOT going to get out of bed in the middle of the night and fart in the hallway. I'll let it go in bed and if he hears it or smells it, so what. After 15 years, in all honesty, I'm NOT going to worry about his reaction! If he doesn't like it, he can go sleep in the guest bedroom..(And he has done just that if I do have gas attacks at night. It's funny actually.)

whichwayisup Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 You will never fail to be the best poster on LS. Thanks. Here's something different..I think I've told this one before - Anyway, he and I took a bath together - This was the early stages of our relationship..I, by accident ofcourse, farted in the tub. He asked me if I farted, I said NO. The thing is, the bubbles came out of me so it's not like I could deny it. He farted and created bubbles out of his @ss to make me feel abit less embarressed. You cannot hide a fart in the tub! That's a fact!
shadowplay Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Personally I've never farted and never plan to.
