dangerstranger Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Lighten up, Francis. Personally, I never fart around my girlfriends. It's just the way I was brought up. But my last girlfriend used to fart in her sleep which I found hilarious but never told her about. She'd be mortified. If you happen to let one slip, just excuse yourself and continue on. If he does, don't shame him for God's sake. Make a small joke. As for having to use the bathroom, if you're not comfortable, your choices are hold it for four days or try and sneak into the bathroom when he falls asleep. Oh man, brings back a mortifying yet hilarious experience from my past. I dated a guy in Uni on again off again for 3 years. We had the same group of friends. He graduated a year ahead of me, but came back to visit from time to time after he moved out of the city. We were friends after our break up, and the fact that we had mutual friends meant we hung out sometimes in a big group (still do sometimes years later). We were all in a cab one night and somehow the topic of farting came up. I joked that I never farted and he blurted out "oh, I beg to differ, you fart in your sleep". I never knew, how do you know that you fart in your sleep unless someone tells you!!! My recent ex and I had been dating for a few months the first time he let one rip. I'm a light sleeper, and he was snoring so it woke me up. He let a spectacular one go after a huge snore.... I couldn't let it go, I tapped him on the shoulder and said matter of factly "you farted".....
angielove Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 OMG farting in your sleep... Sometimes when my bf and I are asleep, I will accidently fart so loud that it wakes me up and then I lie there awake for ageeessss (pretending to be asleep) to see if he woke up too. But he never makes a peep. If he farted in his sleep and it woke me up, I would find that hilarious and I would probably wake him up to tell him too!!! Maybe he hears and stays quiet because he doesn't want to embarrass me In all of my past relationships, once we have been dating for a while and have become very comfortable with each other, farts become part of playing around and giggling with each other. I think it will be like this in my current relationship too - we just need more time as we've only been official for one month
Stung Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Most people can control their farting to some degree, of course, but after you've been with somebody for a while it's inevitable that something will slip out, and really, it's not a big deal. It mortified me when I was a self-conscious teen, now I just laugh. I might make a joke about lift-off. I could never seriously date somebody who didn't just laugh with me, or who got prissy and uptight about the natural functions of the human body. I have always been bathroom-shy, though, and it's totally psychological and I'm not really sure where it comes from. I can pee fine, but I can never take a dump in a new guy's house, sometimes until after I've been seeing him for months (I have had more than a few very uncomfortable weekends because of this). Even when I was living with a man, I would feel very -- constrained -- trying to go to the bathroom if he was right outside the door. Just couldn't do it. I went away on a romantic long weekend once where the hotel room had it's giant jacuzzi tub and the double sink out in the bedroom suite, and the toilet was alone in basically a tiny closet so you couldn't even run any water from the faucets for sound cover. I really had to go, and although it was our first romantic getaway I had actually been living with my boyfriend for a little while so it shouldn't have been a problem--but I knew it would be, for me. I had to come out and ask him to turn on the TV, and when he asked why, I had to laugh at myself and admit it was because I was poop-shy and I needed audio-visual camouflage so I could do my thing in the little bathroom. He laughed and laughed...but he turned on the TV, and told me it was just about the cutest thing ever. Some time later, we went back to that same hotel for another romantic getaway, but this time it was very nostalgic because it was on one of our wedding anniversaries. It turned out that little amusing/embarrassing bathroom story was actually one of the things he remembered fondly about our trip to that hotel, four years later .

You just put having a bowel movement into the most wonderfully romantic context. That is good writing. I appreciate your input as it has put me at ease.
Art_Critic Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Nice women never fart in front of H or BF. Nice women only go to the bathroom for No. 2 when her man is nowhere to be seen. In that manner the atmospheric pollution of the BM is private. Smelling "fart or fecal material" from your girl or wife is not romantic. I am a guy and I never fart in front of my SO. Farting in bed can be avoided by having a nice BM before bedtime. If the urge comes then get up and go to the bathroom to fart in private. This policy should be maintain even in very long term marriages. Boy.. Debbie Downer... Potty Humor is the best and honestly I think it is embedded in us to have Potty Humor. My 3 year old laughs when he farts.. then says me'ce. I ask him to pull my finger all the time.. he still does it....hahahaha
Jazzari Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Farts, particularly smelly farts are a sign of an impending BM or constipation. Go and have your BM discretely. When there is no impending BM farts tend not to smell. There must be a ton of ****e in the rectum for a smelly fart. I will admit that sometimes people pass gas in their sleep and most of the time no one knows about it because they are both asleep. No big deal here. However, any other farting is simply poor execution and bad form. If you feel a fart coming, particularly a smelly one (if you did not have a BM) then make an excuse and walk away so you do not insult the senses of those around you. Be a lady and a gentleman at all times.In a social setting, I would agree. But with family and loved ones? No way. Family is love, laughter and acceptance. Smelly farts and all. If someone doesn't fart, they need to pull the stick out their @ss.
Art_Critic Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Come on Pierre.. lighten up.. The thread is filled with people that have fun with Potty Humor. The fart is NOT fecal material.. it is just a few airborne chemicals.. Nitrogen - 20% - 90% Hydrogen - 0% - 50% Carbon Dioxide - 10% - 30% Oxygen - 0% - 10% Methane - 0% - 10%
Art_Critic Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Mythbusters did an episode on Lighting Farts..hahahaha They did another where they were trying to see if the match really covered up the smell in the bathroom and other myths. They had to build a "fart capture device" so they could have it analyzed so they could just go order the chemicals form an air company.. the "fart capture" device was a funnel and Adam had to sit in a tub full of water.. hahaha
snug.bunny Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I find it unattractive when men pass gas in front of you.
Feelin Frisky Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Don't talk about it. If you have to pass gas, try to do it least abruptly and least offensively. That's what I do anyway. Say I'm under the covers with someone and feel a heavy fart come on, I will excuse myself and go into the bathroom. If it's just a little gas and what you've been eating isn't making it stink (like beans, brussel sprouts, cabbage etc,) then let them seep out and hope for the combination of two things--one, it won't be noticed and two, your partner will be gracious and ignore it. Later on when you get married then you can cut the cheese.
Stung Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 You just put having a bowel movement into the most wonderfully romantic context. That is good writing. I appreciate your input as it has put me at ease. Thanks! Have a great time with your beau.
Stung Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 As for the great gas debate, I can sympathize somewhat with Pierre's stance, although I don't think it has anything to do with 'common sense'. I don't particularly enjoy deliberate fart-in-face humor, I'm not encouraging widespread Dutch Oven attacks, I don't just let it rip whenever I feel like it, whomever I should happen to be around, whatever setting I should happen to be in--but I don't think that's what the majority of posters here are intimating, either. My take on it is that most people simply recognize that sometimes human bodies do human things, and really, that shouldn't be a big deal, particularly amongst family and loved ones at home where people should feel comfortable. I have to say, if you work in a medical field or once you've had kids your attitude towards a little gas mellows considerably. A little gas is nothing in the spectrum of what a body can and does produce. We do have a rule with the kids, though: absolutely no farting at the table. I mean, a little control while everybody's eating isn't too much to ask, IMO.
Dan The Stud Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 i fart in front of my girl. if she doesnt like it i know what to say and do to smooth in over.
ybird56 Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 If your so is the one then I'd let it go. Most of the time if guys are around other guys then you couldn't hear a fire truck but if your in an office then I suppose on how obscure it is somet things just have to have a bell.
Casablanca Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 My husband not only farted in bed, he would wave the covers to make sure the smell was fully appreciated! I would scream and laugh and start smacking him. He would retaliate and things would excalate into good times. I'm not to that comfort level with my current SO. I turn on the fan or shower when I go to the bathroom to hide the noise. But it's only a matter of time. I can see he will be the type to have fun with it too. This is how I am...ive had gfs do the same...Ive had one make sure their butt was on me and passed a little gas I remember having a date with a girl, it had only been a month or so and taking it real slow and causal because we worked together...the date started earlier than planned b/c she called me up and her friend offered her two tickets to a bball game...so that was tacked onto our other plans for the night...I picked her up at 2ish and I dont get home until 1ish in the morning...and really the whole time I had to take a massive crap but I didnt want to do it at her apartment or in public because it was going to be that big, long and nasty...didnt want to freak her out just yet
SteveC80 Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Ive never seen any of my women fart in front of me its unfeminine like and totally kills the mood for me,most women have the decency to try not to do it in front of their Man Number 2 shuold also try to be done in private and wihout mention thats just me but it kills the mood for me
snug.bunny Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Totally disagree. If you can't fart in front of your SO, then you're in a lousy relationship. A good relationship is measured by farting in front of each other? Who knew...:sick:
Hot Chick Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) Some tips for the trip: 1. Try not to eat too much, as in stuffing yourself full of rich foods or foods which will easily cause gas. Just eat normal portions, and like I said, lay off the gassy foods. We tend to eat out a lot during trips, involving lots of stuffing ourselves....this you will regret later in the hotel room as you have a potentially romantic moment and are trying to suppress gas and noises....also, limit carbonated beverages in favor of water.........it's not like these tips are asking you to deprive yourself on vacation at all, you'll feel better and still get to eat the local flavor, just not stuffing yourself and eating gas-inducing foods. You'll feel more energy for your trip and be thanking me and enjoying it more. Oh, don't get wasted, especially since this is a new guy. Throwing up and acting like an uncontrollable idiot is not attractive to the opposite sex, and your inhibitions will be lowered....not good, especially in a newer relationship. So enjoy the wine or local beer, or whatever, just don't over do it (if you want to stay with the guy that is.) Remember a lot of trips are make it or break it moments for relationships. 2. Pack Gas-X...slip them in your purse and have one after each meal....this will work wonders. It's not like you have to keep it in the package and the guy will even know what it is. He might just think it's your daily vitamins if he comes across them. If you follow these tips, you should be fine. I use them all the time with guys! Edited August 1, 2011 by Hot Chick

LoveandSuch Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 I say private. I am curious, however, with the men seemingly, so casual with the fact of gas. What is your opinion of anal sex. Do you tell the woman you enjoy it beforehand and suggest cleanliness like an enema and tips or do you take the chance it is clean.
Casablanca Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 I say private. I am curious, however, with the men seemingly, so casual with the fact of gas. What is your opinion of anal sex. Do you tell the woman you enjoy it beforehand and suggest cleanliness like an enema and tips or do you take the chance it is clean. I've had anal sex a few times and it never lasted very long because of the pain for the girl....I know one of my friend's ex gfs loved anal sex...now the couple girls I have tired anal sex with, loved getting a finger or two up their. How we got on the topic? I dunno...eventually the idea of a finger up there came up which leads to the next jump down the road, the penis up there.
LoveandSuch Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 The shyte hole was not designed to receive a penis. I think most women go along with that to please the male. I would hope a woman would not do something just to please a man. It may be something that comes to play in close relationships at times. Cannot be in use all the time, biannually, unless you want to end up in depends. If with the right person, good teacher, relaxation and patience the key, it can be one of the most enjoyable positions for a woman.
Casablanca Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 A diet that does not induced farting is a must before anal sex.:cool: haha, I can agree with you on that one
LoveandSuch Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 An enema ensures cleaniness and not eating the day before. Men should be aware of this and not try to put a woman on the spot, because the answer will be NOPE! Gas should never be shared, I agree. A man or woman caring less and less about what impression they make on you does make me think it is love or being more comfortable around another, it shows lack of thought or consideration. Maybe, incompatibility if one is a gaser and the other is not.
