Only slightly, it’s being expelled from your body in the form of a stream of gas. There is a little, well, backdraft may be the best word. But the majority of the flame is moving away from the body. Even with jeans.
With me it’s not like it’s an explosion explosion. There’s no mushroom cloud or anything.
The jeans do dissipate it and it’s more like when you light a puddle of lighter fluid or something… kinda a blue flame that swirls around your gennies and flickers away.
Shodan, think of it as a blast shield.
Are there any unanswered General Questions here?
The fine cloth mesh will prevent flame propagation. That keeps your nether regions safe until the cloth heats up enough for the flame to pass through.
It’s definitely possible, and I’ve seen it done. And it is hilarious. I think what it comes down to is that nobody expects it to work, and when it does, you feel like you’ve witnessed a little miracle.

Good times!
Well, obviously mine has…I don’t know about the rest of 'em, manny…
And no, I’m so not trying this.
Guin…
You asked if it was possible. Yes.
You asked if it was dangerous. No.
Surely you asked out of something more than simple curiosity.
Yes?
FWIW, there is a fart-lighting in the background in a scene in Enemy At the Gates, which in addition to showing Russian soldiers lighting farts, offers some realistic-looking depictions of the Battle of Stalingrad. But we’ll know why you guys take a sudden interest…
I can just see it now:
SCENE: video-rental outlet.
DOPER to Significant Other: I have to get Enemy At the Gates!
S.O.: Feel like a war flick?
DOPER: Uh,…
And, a message to manhattan: all right, just stop it already with your premature thread shut-downs! At least you had the decency to pose the question this time, instead of just doing it, as with the “What is the true cost of oil?” thread you killed a few days ago. Let the people have their fun, fer chrissakes! I’m holding out for some field reports from some of these people (we can only hope). Just let it rip, so to speak.
Funny, we did this night before last. I walked in on a conversation between my SO and son. SO told me to grab the lighter, which I did, and, well, we lit a fart. I laughed so hard I had tears running down my cheeks! We then discussed why #1 son shouldn’t do this. Seems that a classmate of the SO had done this years ago, and ended up with a severly burned colon.
Whew, I thought I was the only Brazil nut in Manhatten’s guacamole.
I say that and yet I still dig the shit out of Manhatten. Understood?
Some times you feel like a nut, some times you just grope.
lieu’s post piqued my curiosity, so I checked out his profile. Let’s just say that rarely have a user profile [occupation] and thread topic converged so perfectly. Thanks for the yuks, lieu!
