Ladies farting/burping is sexy

[souroranges]

Now don't get me wrong. Farting or burping in front of someone on the first date is inappropriate (although i've smelled perfumes far, far worse), but when you alone with someone you really know and cherish... and they let one rip for the first time... that's hot. She is completely comfortable with you and trusts you.

Then again, my g/f let one rip right after we had sex. Maybe she couldn't "control" herself enough to prevent it. Maybe I'm a bit biast because I was "in the moment".
Nonetheless, I thought it was cute.

What do you think? Have you ever been in a similar situation? How did you react?

(of course, I still don't think it's sexy if she does it a million times in public)

Girl: "Are those tears of joy?"
Boy: "NO! It's the smell! Roll down the window!"

[Ava Gina]

I would never, not as long as I could control it anyway.

The only reason to ever fart in front of someone else is if you're are completely unable to take five seconds to walk into another room. Being in a speeding auto with no time/ability to pull over comes to mind. Or being braindead.

Seriously, this is why God invented the Hold and Pause buttons on telephones and Tivo.

And don't give me any 'but it's perfectly natural' crap, either. It's perfectly natural to piss, puke, shit, and menstruate as well, but most prefer to keep these activities solo.

Then why do ladies always go to the bathroom in groups? :D

[Shakes]

I don't mind the farting. But if you're letting out some particularly stinky ones; by all means, adjourn yourself to the next room!

Dude, now you've made me go and question my gender! Surely I'm not the only woman who DOES NOT need a pack of chicks to use the toilet, who feels annoyed and harrassed when female friends try and drag me to the bathroom.

Besides the obvious 'we're talking about you' excuse, it's because I need a wing-woman to be my tag partner in the ladies-room wrestling matches. And it's safer, in some instances.

I don't go in crowds, either.

The crowds I do see in the bathroom together, however, all seem to be talking, doing their hair or makeup... but they don't seem to be sharing any pissing, puking, shitting, or menstruating moments. Ew.

Hell, no!

[souroranges]

But are they talking about farting moments? :p

[Penchan]

No we're talking about how gross guys are when they burp and fart in groups :p

I burp in front of the SO and he just shakes his head and tells me to keep it down. As long as I don't tell him what it smelled or tasted like, then he doesn't get too mad.

No, you're not. But I thought I was. Nice to meet you!! ;)

[Hung Mung]

Before I met Lady Mung I told my roommate, "I need a woman who drinks, smokes, spits and cusses." Magically and within the month, I found her.
After she joined my circle of friends we quickly found ourselves in awe of her gastronomical prowess. She can belch like no other. It makes me so proud.
We try not to subject one another to farting, however.

Although there was the time I walked into one of her burp clouds...ugh, I actually had to sit down.

[engineer_comp_geek]

When I asked Mrs Geek this question she replied "So we can talk about you men."

It's kinda funny, when we first met she wouldn't even eat in front of me because she was too self conscious. Now we've been married 14 years and she can burp, fart, you name it. It's nice to be comfortable in front of each other, but sexy? Cute? No. Definately not.

Now the dilemma here is that the stinkiness cannot be ascertained until said flatus has been released. I guess it's possible to release a sample, casually do a sniff, then decide if an exit is required. :D
I only have one rule for farts: Thou shall not fart in an elevator.

[whiterabbit]

My SO and I try to out-burp each other sometimes. As for farts, I can't hold 'em, once I know they're on their way, they're here. If I'm in an elevator I'll try to hold back, but if we're sitting around at home, I am not running into another room just to fart.

[Anaamika]

I hate going to the bathroom in crowds. I hate when I'm with a bunch of friends and I stand up to the go to the bathroom and a girl says "I'll go with you!" WTF? I can go all by myself, my mommy taught me years ago, thank you. Bathroom is not Chatty Cathy time, I'm afraid. :)

As for burping/farting, I'll burp in front of my SO. He rolls his eyes and tells me to act like a lady. I don't go out of my way to fart, and I'll excuse myself, but sometimes you can't help it. He always finds it terribly amusing and endearing, since I used to be painfully shy about it...now if he asks "Did you fart?" I just say "Why, are you jealous?"

[Indygrrl]

No. I don't want him doing it in front of me, and I don't plan on doing it in front of him. There's no need for it when the bathroom is right down the hall.

[Hung Mung]

I only have one rule for farts: Thou shall not fart in an elevator.
One thing I noticed in college: While waiting for an elevator in our old 15 story apartment/dorm, I would be fine. While stepping on to the elevator I would suddenly have to fart. I would hold it...and hold it...squeeze, damn you, SQUEEZE...and get off. And not have to fart any more. This sucked when I lived on the 14th floor and had to wait at every floor for people to come on. Stupid intestines.

[pulykamell]

Farting comfortably in front of your SO is, IMHO, a sign of true love. I'll never understand people who icked out by a perfectly natural biological process. I sometimes feel our lives have become a little too sanitized for our own good.

Anyhow, girls that I've dated for a long time have done everything: fart, shit, piss, in front of me (not in a sexual way. Just saying, I'll be taking a bath, and she'll come in, plop her ass on the toilet, and piss away.) I don't see any reason to be uncomfortable about it, and I honestly feel an extra degree of intimacy with anyone I'm comfortable doing that around.

[JSexton]

There is no biological function that my wife and I cannot perform in front of each other, and it has always been so. I can't say I find her farts cute, exactly, but there's no reason to leave the room.

[Hey, It's That Guy!]

I think it is really cute if a girl burps in front of me, especially if she acts all embarrassed afterwards. A little burp after a good meal is cuter than a giant belch after chugging a beer, but I won't hold it against her for doing the latter.

[Elza B]

My SO and I try to out-burp each other sometimes. As for farts, I can't hold 'em, once I know they're on their way, they're here. If I'm in an elevator I'll try to hold back, but if we're sitting around at home, I am not running into another room just to fart.

Sounds like us. We've had burping contests. And I don't hold back if he's in the same room. We're cute newlyweds (for another three weeks!), so anything we do is cute, even farting in front of one another :p .

We're trying to learn to modify our behavior in preparation for children; otherwise, I can see our future child letting out a huge one at Grandma or Grandpa's house and blaming it on the cat.

[krisolov]

I can outburp my wife any day. But she can outfart me. Any. Day. We're quite the lovely couple. And no, it's not sexy. But it is amusing.

[Cat Whisperer]

My husband and I burp and fart in front of each other all the time (well, it seems like it sometimes, anyway). Sometimes he rates my belches - I have impressed him at times after drinking a quick soda. I rarely admit to farting, though - I believe in plausible deniability. As long as there's a cat in the house, she gets the blame (even if not in the same room).

[travvers]

Totally cool to be comfortable around each other, agreed, but sexy... maybe not. My girlfriend and I were just having a great laugh over the fact that I lazily let one go the other night when I thought she was sleeping. Come to find out, she wasn't, and just the way she let me know she heard me made me feel really comfortable and fall in love with her more. I certainly wouldn't hold it against her in any way, but I don't know if I'd want her to make a habit of it.

We were at a swim party with some friends of ours and their kids. The three-year-old, Max, was playing in the shallow end with his dad. Suddenly Max lets out a huge fart, then he looks at his dad and says, "Good one, Daddy!" :D

No way. I don't cut the cheese in front of Mr. Silver1 and never have. I always squire myself away to the bathroom - or at least another room - if one wants out of the body.

Mr. Silver1 does not now nor did he ever cut the cheese in front of me, but he's belched loud enough for people on the eastern seaboard to hear him, sure enough. He and the eldest Silver1junior like to get into belching contests. :rolleyes:

Mr. Silver1's nose is a little oversensitive. Spritzing the powder-fresh Glade after bathroom use is a habit of his and he highly appreciates it when I return the favor. :D

This is the exact behavior we'd like to avoid :smack: :D .

My husband blames things on our girl cat. I keep telling him it is physically impossible for her to have farted under the covers when she is asleep on the duvet on my FEET.

[Ashes, Ashes]

It's my belief there are other ways to show how comfortable you are around your SO (like sex, which is also more fun than burping, to boot), than to take care of smelly and/or messy bodily functions in their presence. In fact, I'd consider some of it downright rude, as though you didn't like me enough to refrain, though accidents and emergencies happen of course. I suppose that sounds awfully uptight, but I honestly am not. I have no problem with any perfectly natural bodily function-- hanging around the SDMB would have taken care of any shyness or shame ages ago, if I'd had any to begin with. I just don't want to have an audience or be an audience.

I also don't need to go to the ladies' room in a group. It's not like I require someone to spot me. There have only been a handful of times I've found myself heading to the ladies' room in a herd, anyway. We talked a little about hair, clothes, make-up, or the evening's activities. What would we say about the men anyway? 'Oooh, Diana you lucky bitch! Your Tony looks hung like a horse!' Ermmmm, no. That stuff is saved for the date autopsy phone call the next day.

I blame the cat when she's not even in the room. Like I said, plausible deniability, baby.

I'm kinda curious - is this another one of those differences between Americans and Canadians, that women don't fart in front of their husbands and expect their husbands to return the favour, or are my husband and I just freaks?

[Pushkin]

My ex farted twice in front of me, once was when she was demonstrating that she could put her knees up beside her head when we were shagging. She couldn't and didn't :p

Well, I'm in the US and many of my married US friends are the same way we are. I do have a few friends who would rather die than fart in front of their husbands. My best friend and her husband are our idols, though - they were my best friends in college (we were kind of like a non-sexual threesome when I was around), and I learned the art of belching in front of a boy when we were all together.

That's a good question, though - I'll have to ask a few of my Canadian friends their thoughts, too.

[Enright3]

I was married for 20+ years before my wife died a couple of years ago. I never once heard her fart, or even saw her go "#2" in the entire time we were married.

Holy crap, here I am mildly amused by this thread, then I came upon this post.

This is laugh-out-loud funny!

[zweisamkeit]

My boyfriend and I burp and fart in front of the other all the time. Like some others have said, it shows we're really comfortable around each other. Besides, we both like the opportunity to tease the other one about how horrible it was. ;)

[Electrical Storm]

Then why do ladies always go to the bathroom in groups? :D

I can only speak for myself, but I don't drag along other women when I have to go to the bathroom. Have been a big girl for many years now and can do it on my own. :D

[plnnr]

Neither burping nor farting are sexy - I don't care who's doing the burping or farting.

[SnootQueen]

That is too gross. Sign of comfort or not... if someone rips a fart around me.. I think it is disrespectful. I can understand if it slips and is accidental... but if you KNOW you've gotta fart... go to the bathroom or to another room to do it. To choose to make me smell awful horrid fumes is rude. I live with a man who knows how grossed out I get by his farts that he thinks it's hilarious to come up to me and wiggle his butt in my face when he's gotta rip one. He'll come up to me and wiggle his butt in my face and rip a big fart and giggle and giggle... it's abusive. He does it because he knows it upsets me. It's fun for him.

[Snickers]

Whoa - what Snotbunny just posted is beyond the pale. Yikes.

But yeah, SpouseO and I do both in front of each other. We try to avoid farting in front of one another as much as possible, but sometimes one slips out. My burping, however, is getting a little outta hand - gotta try to tone that down in public. I'm not a good burper, and Mr. Snicks doesn't mind, but I need to remember that it's probably not appropriate behavior at a restaurant.

[Cat Whisperer]

Well, there's definitely a line between being comfortable with each other and abusive behaviour. My husband and I fart and burp around each other all the time, and neither of us feels abused by it. If I told him I hated it and he made a point of farting in my face after that, stupid as it sounds, that's pretty much grounds for ending a relationship there. It most certainly shows a lack of respect for your opinion and your feelings, SnotBunny. My husband absolutely hates being poked in the belly button; you know what my response was? To not poke him in the belly button (unless he really asks for it.)
