I am proud to say i can burp with the best of belchers. Now some guys think it’s cool when i do and some think it’s gross. When i go to my boyfriends familys house for dinner, me and my boyfriends dad sit on opposite sides of him. we are both belchers. we start in on our burp fest as SO screams “gross!!! Strereo burping!” so what do you all think? gross or not? ---

Yes. And farting, too. ---

Gross, IMHO. I know the ocassional accidental belchage is going to occur, but any purposeful belching just grosses me out. 🙂 Novus ---

**Sandalfeet** , I’m with you. I can burp with the best of 'em but only a select few have ever been witness to it… i get shy you see . I’m also totally against farts either my own or other people, but burps don’t worry me. ---

Call me kooky, but I like it! I happen to be a great belcher, and if an SO can keep up with me, then SCORE big points in my book. Somehow, it lets me know she’s not a priss and can cut loose. No farts allowed by either party. They stink. ---

I am positively _horrified_ by this thread. The lies and misconceptions that you all are spreading is simply ghastly. _Everyone_ that is _anyone_ knows that girls do not burp or…ahem…fart. ---

**Sandalfeet,** you are no grosser than your boyfriends dad. Now whether or not you’re both gross is each person’s opinion, but just because you’re a girl doesn’t mean that your burps are grosser, or that it’s grosser for you to be doing them. With this logic (and some practical follow-ups to persuade him I meant it) I taught my SO that farting in bed was NOT funny… or if it was funny when he did it, it was just as hilarious when I did it (and held his head under the covers). He quickly saw my point of view, and now there’s no intentional farts in the goo-bed. Basically, it may or may not be gross, but if it is, it’s just as gross when your dad’s doing it. Goo ---

Not gross. I fear women who won’t burp. Well, not _fear_, but what the hell. Its just a burp. Maybe I’m low class. 😃 ---

I think it’s kinda gross. But then again, my belches have no volume whatsoever, so it could just be envy talking. Pooting accidentally is excusable. Intentional nuking, on the other hand, is plain ol’ disgusting. ---

I especially think it’s great when a woman let’s loose a big one in a group of people whilst drinking beer. I think that’s cool. I’m rather iffy on the whole flatulence thing though. I mean, sometimes a fart escapes and there’s nothing you can do about it. I have a relative who just lets loose whenever SHE feels like it and it really puts me on edge - but that’s more my fear talking than anything. I tend to be rather concerned about what other people will think of her, since I love her so much (OK OK, and yes, I don’t like the idea of people passing judgment on me either). There, I said it. ---

My mom and sister both burp at will. It makes me cringe. I think if some gorgeous girl let out a huge one, it would take her attractiveness down a notch. Actually, now that I think about it, anyone’s burping makes me cringe. I guess I’m sensitive like that.:rolleyes: ---

My man treats my burps and farts with the respectful awe that they deserve. I warn him before a bed fart, so that he can insert the Fart Guard™ (a pillow placed between my arse and his body). Nothing I can do about a car fart, though. Just have to open the windows. If one has gas, the gas has to come out. Better to burp than be in pain. ---

That is just gross. It means that you have no concern for other people. ---

“Of course girls don’t fart. Only skeevy stoners fart.”\* Personally, I think it’s gross if intentional, but otherwise funny if it just slips out. That being said, I can belch the alphabet backwards easily. - courtesy J&SB:SB ---

Tansu, could you _please_ teach my wife “bed-farting etiquette?” Holy Christ that woman could knock a buzzard off a sh\*twagon with her emissions. I encourage the burping, telling myself that it’s gonna spare me a night bomb. ---
