Is there a better way to maxmize the enjoyment of the smell of ones own gas?

Buy an extra large derby hat.
Fart in your new hat.
Put it on.
Wa-la!
Peu.

It is?

So are you into scat play?

(Where’s that puking smiley? Mods please-if ever a thread was in need of it-this is the one!)

God no- that’s disgusting. Surely you’re not implying that enjoying the smell of ones own brand is tantamount to playing with feces?

Are you trying to shit on this thread? :slight_smile:

While possibly going a bit far, Guinastasia brings up a fair question. Does the average person really enjoy the scent of her/his own fart? I understand that one’s own farts aren’t generally offensive like other peoples, but that doesn’t mean it’s an enjoyable scent. If I were to pass gas under my blankets while lying in bed at night, I can’t imagine that I would stick my head under the covers to get a good whiff of it. I never even dreamed that people would purposefully pass gas on their hands for the purpose of getting a good whiff.

Do other people enjoy, rather than just tolerate, the smell of their own farts? (Wee Bairn, let me know if you think this is too much of a high-jack. I can go ahead and start another thread if you do, but I figured, unless asked otherwise, we only needed so many fart threads going at once.)

By all means, hijack away- as you said, its probably best to limit the number of this type thread at one time anyway. :wink: Personally, I don’t get the notion of not minding your own smell, but not liking it. I say either you like it or you don’t. It would be good to have other honest replies.

Where’s lieu, btw?
:wink:

Honestly, like MissMossie, I can’t quite find mine as, oh, I don’t know, “intolerable” as those as others, but it’s not something I enjoy. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Dude, it was the next logical question. I have never known ANYONE who enjoyed the smell of their own farts. That’s just…eeeew.

According to this article on poopreport.com, Benjamin Franklin wrote something called “Fart Proudly” on the subject. Who knew?

I find the smell of shit is best when left to a bare minimum. I have indeed met those who enjoy the aroma of their own leakage, and I find it strange but not alarmingly so.

Personally, The closest I get to this fart-smelling phenomenom is scratching my butt and then sniffing my fingers, half out of curiosity whether any smell got through. Sometimes the faint whisper of shit is in fact wee bit appealing, but I cant imagine taking a full on whiff. Of course, we are talking about gas here and not shit, but I imagine the principle is the same.

So, in summary, I think that shit stinks but yet in small doses can be enjoyable in a perverse sense.

Still though, all in all this is a natural and harmless bodily function. The Dope of all places seems to be awful prudish in this thread.

This thread just keeps getting curiouser and curiouser.

May I add that I meant with clothing. Otherwise curious would be an understatement.

Considering that Franklin was the smartass of the Founding Fathers, I’d take that with a huge grain of salt.

This thread stinks.
“Here, you smell it too!”

“Gah, that smells like shit!”

No, I’m here, in horrified wonder. I don’t do either of the things the OP referenced.

Didn’t the Mythbusters do an experiment that necessitated them collecting Adam’s “flatus” with a glass trumpet while he sat in a bathtub?

I thought the whole thread was a whoose, but…

Yoga! Takes years of dedication and practice but someday you can just stick your nose up your ass and let fly to your hearts content.

Would that be the variation of the “Crane” yoga posture known as the “Quacking Duck”, or are we talking an entirely new position? If so, I suggest naming it the “Barking Spider”.

You sure got the right username to contribute to this thread.

I’m here to help.

Funny! That’s always been my dad’s name for his farts (or, rather, his excuse for the noise that accompanied them).

I must admit that I’ve never thought anyone enjoyed their farts. Tolerated? Yes. Enjoyed? No. Sometimes, when I fart, I’ll say to myself, “good lord, what have I been eating?!” (my own experience tells me that increasing protein intake seems to create an increasingly noxious odor).

Oh, the intellectualism of the Dope. Dare say I love this board more and more with each passing day!

oh yeah. Just for the record, my farts stink. I am somehow blind to the artistry of my own excreta or that of my young children. I can tolerate the tamest of them, but I normally leave the area after I let some loose.
