Maybe for some discriminating souls, especially if combined with the ability to play the "_Deliverance_ theme with armpit-tuba harmony.

This is kind of stuff that keeps Springer on the air.

Yeesh.

no doubt. It’s really cute when their face turns red after they realise the noise came from them…

Sexy? No.

Kinda cute, though, depending on who’s doing it and how it’s done.

Not exactly sexy but it’s a plus because it hints that she thinks of “guy stuff” and men in general in a positive way.

Not sexy in the slightest.

It’s kind of cute and fun, but as an actual erotic turn-on? No. Likewise, I’m happy that my wife likes cigars, but It doesn’t make the little soldier salute.

If find that a woman belching is not just not sexy, it’s also awfully gross.

FTR, a man belching is even grossier.

Well, obviously “If” should be “I”.

Only if it’s from the porch of a trailerhome.

I’d also like to echo Turbo Dog’s sentiments in that it shows comfort with themselves as a person.

I’d like to add that a good burping woman, much like a good burping guy, should recognize that soundings should not be taken at certain locations (like at an opera during a dramatic pause).

Yes, belches should be confined to their proper place, such as in front of the TV watching a manly show.

Not sexy or cute.

I’m not particularly impressed by loud, indiscreet belching or farting, whether it’s done by a man or a woman. IMHO.

I wouldn’t marry a woman who couldn’t burp. I’ve always liked the tomboys. If you can’t camp, burp, drink beer, and tell dirty jokes, I’m just not interested.

Right on. And half the “polite” types spend so much time looking innocent and suppressing the need to let loose that it’s more annoying to me than a simple fart or burp would be.

I can only belch if I’ve had something to drink first-especially something carbonated. Other than that, if I try to make myself belch, all I end up with is a bad stomach ache.

My MOM, on the other hand, good GOD, that woman can seriously belch. It’s like this big loud roar. But I can almost never get her to do it on command.

Are there women who cannot belch? I didn’t know I had a choice. 😛

Nope, not sexy at all.

Not funny, not endearing, not cute.

If you gotta do it, do it. Then get over it.

**NurseCarmen** , you stay the Hell away from my wife!

As for the OP; It’s a damn burp. People do it. I never put any more thought into it.
