You sure about that? It IS a natural function, afterall.
I think it’s funny. I don’t like it in public, for either girls or guys, but if a girl is in my apartment, or among friends and she lets one go, I get a big chuckle out of it.
There’s a difference between a “natural” belch, and one that has been intentionally amplified. Regardless of sex, the first is okay, the second is gross. IMHO, they both warrant an “exuse me.”
to clarify my previous post
–read "regardless of sex of the belcher, just in case any of you jokers thought I was talking about belching while in the act.
–yes, I know it’s spelled “excuse”
I hiccup instead of burping. No really, I do. Just one hiccup where one would normally think a burp would be. It’s not that I won’t burp, I just don’t … or I should say, very very rarely. When I do, it’s barely audible.
Sometimes I wish I could… the hiccup sometimes is painful.
Hey, lets be honest.
Even the Pope does it.
Ain’t got no problem with burping or farting. Just don’t do either in my face on purpose:)
For those who think it is bad: What exactly is the apprehension about burping? I mean, do you think it is gross? If it is rude, why is it rude? I mean, at least farts smell. What’s the problem with a little old burp?
Mauv, you have cute burps, eh? 
And sheesh, a hiccup burp does sound like it would hurt.
It may be gross, but trust me, NOTHING cures nausea like a good belch.
Unfortunately, I cannot burp on command. Only if I drink something carbonated, or if I have to, I burp. But I can’t do it on purpose. 
Note to self: teach Guin how to belch. 
WTF is wrong with you people? 
Now, farting and burping are unavoidable facts of life. Of course, when I’m in friendly company, I generally would avoid farting, excusing myself to the bathroom or elsewhere. With burping, just keep it relatively discreet and no big deal.
But when you’re with your SO at home, c’mon guys. Anything goes. For me, and I don’t mean this kiddingly, but you know you’ve reached a certain level of intamicy if you and your partner can comfortably fart around each other. I’m serious. I’m not saying farting is a prerequisite to intimacy, or that because you fart around your partner you’re intimate.
But it is a general acceptance of each other’s humanity. I don’t mind if my SO farts in bed, or on my leg while we’re spooning. OK, it’s not like a common occurance, but we don’t treat it like some nasty socially repugnant offense. I’m not gonna pull the ol’ Dutch Oven on her, but you feel much better once you get over this quirky little hurdle in the relationship.
Really.
…I burp…outloud…around other people…and I’m a girl. I actually get complimented on them most of the time…I suppose such a large sound coming from someone so slight of stature is amusing to most of my friends. I’ve gotten pats on the back and even applause …I usually smile and say, “My Mom taught me well.” which she did.
Farting, well, I prefer to fart alone, but if one happens to come out when I’m with my roommate…he doesn’t mind…he usually just laughs.
And to anyone and everyone that get’s uptight about bodily functions I say, “Everybody poops!”…it happens…yeah it can be disgusting…but it happens.
