As a male, the dating ritual dictated no farting until the date was over and the girl was safely behind her door. Usually, I would wait until I got back into my car, drive away, roll down the windows, and let fly.
Holding back farts can be very uncomfortable. There’s nothing hardwired about it. It’s a matter of good manners. If I want to have sex and/or a relationship with this woman, farting in front of her will put a damper on that very quickly.
However, once a relationship is established, farting in front of the woman becomes much less of a problem. Not that I just let the things fly, but if I can’t make it to the bathroom first and I fart, well… sorry. I believe the same rules apply to her. Women fart, and I’m not going to look my nose down anyone that let’s one slip.
I swear, if my wife heard what I was holding back after our first date, she might not have agreed to a second date. That I was able to hold it in at all was somewhat of a miracle. I couldn’t wait to drop her off and get back into my car. That sounds terrible, but if she invited me inside, I would have had to go to her bathroom, and she would have heard (and smelled) a symphony of farting which, quite frankly, made me a bit sick on the way home even with the windows open.
Some women friends of mine have told me (discussing this thread) that they’d die if they farted in front of a man they liked (even as a freind), but they HAVE used silent farts tactically to discourage men that they’ve found creepy, or who they think might want a closer relationship then a working one.
A stealth fart? Man, if dating weren’t hard enough as it is…
Now, if they farted in front of a man they liked, would they fess up to it, or would they hope Mr. Rightnow didn’t hear it?
What if Mr. Rightnow did hear it, but didn’t want to embarrass Miss Take and he decided to say nothing? Then she would miss out on her potential life partner because he’s now armed with this information… she thinks she pulled off an invisifart, but he thinks she fired off an SBD at him because she didn’t want to see him again,’
How ironic.
Because of female insecurity, the fart has killed her relationship of a lifetime. Speak up ladies! Unless of course, you don’t want us to come sniffing around your door again.
My husband and I don’t openly fart around one another. I mean, sure, sometimes one slips or whatever, and that’s not a big deal, but we aren’t having contests and giggling over it. Neither of us is the type who feels comfortable farting and burping around anyone, really. There are some things that should, if at all possible, be done privately. We don’t hang out in the bathroom together or use the toilet with the door open either. I guess we’re just repressed, lol.
What comes after the farting ?
Do couples start picking their noses in front of each other ?
And if as a natural process we shouldn’t be coy about doing it in front of our partners, should we not be coy about taking dumps in front of each other, which is after all is just as natural a process?
What’s wrong with that? Do you leave the boog up there to perhaps come out on its own later? Maybe it doesn’t come out… it just hangs there. Do you not tell your spouse because you are afraid of bodily fluids (fluids here refers to gasses, liquids and solids)?
Agreed. I think you have figured it out!
What’s wrong with everyone? I think it is worse to walk into a bathroom after my wife’s been in there than actually being there in person.
I mean, I don’t want to watch the process… but if we are in the middle of an argument, she’s not getting off the hook because she has a booger! And I’d rather her dig the booger out than have it fall out on its own, perhaps on her person, or in a meal. Now THAT’S gross.
I grew up with an older brother. He sure wasn’t hard-wired not to fart in front of me… and not conditioned not to, either. We share stories still of legendary farts from our youth and laugh about them. Guess it’s not that big of a deal for me and while I would prefer a guy not let one rip on our first date, once we know each other, it’s going to happen.
One would think so, but if you do a Google Image Search with Safe Search off, for the word “coprophilia”, you will find an amazing number of images of people displaying just the opposite attitude.
WARNING: Do not try this at work, and don’t try it at all unless you have a very high ‘gross-out factor’. I developed a theory a few years ago that the best free porn site on the internet was Google Image Search. You could find anything that turns anyone on. I tried everything (except ‘Kiddie Porn’ and variants thereof, for obvious reasons) I could think of to test the theory, and found porn for it, in the process also proving Rule 34. That was the one that convinced me my theory was true. I couldn’t mash the back button fast enough.
In the earlier, more naive days of the internet (1994-1997 or so) it was common among even my [extremely sophisticated and classy ;)] friends to jokingly send each other jpgs via email that would have an innocuous name but turn out to be something really horrible like a man fucking a chicken or someone taking a dump into someone’s mouth. I learned really quickly that there isn’t much, if anything, that people won’t do for money or fame or fetish or whatever. I was severely grossed out on a number of occasions and some of those photos haunt me to this very day.
You know, for someone posting by the name “Lust4Life”, you seem to be just limping along.
( I hope you realize that my replies to you have been in jest…)
I find it extremely rude. There is nothing cute or endearing about forcing others to inhale the air that has just been living in your intestines.
I’m also not very gassy, so I probably don’t totally understand the difficulties involved with holding it or finding an appropriate place to let it loose.
No hard wiring, it’s just common courtesy to not stink up the place with air you’ve passed over your feces.
You’re right, it is rude, Bloodless Turnip, and I’ve held it in until it hurt quite badly just so that I wouldn’t inflict my gas on others. It’s just part of being civilized. I don’t know why men are so much more willing to fart in front of others than women. As a woman I am not qualified to offer an opinion on that.
