My fiance has long held all women on a pedestal, myself (though God knows why) included. He’s never farted in front of me (not while conscious, anyway), and he’s never, ever burped aloud in front of me. I burped in front of him once after having had several beers, and he looked at me like I had grown an extra head. I’ve never seen him go to the bathroom, either (not that this upsets me, but I’ve talked to other people who regularly use the toilet in front of their SO). I’m actually pretty happy with the situation - I think there are certain things in relationships that are best kept a mystery. But I can’t help but wonder what other people think. So…
Do you purposely burp or fart in front of your girlfriend, boyfriend, SO, etc.? In other words, are you comfortable enough around that person to just let it all hang out or to do it as a joke?
Do you use the toilet in front of the above listed people? Somehow my friend and I got on to this subject, and she said her fiance regularly comes in to use the toilet while she’s in the tub.While I am more than happy to shower with the SO for a variety of reasons, I’d hesitate to pee in front of him unless I absolutely had to for some bizarre reason. What do you guys think?
1a. Burping? Hell yeah. I let 'em rip and blame them on him. The louder the better.
1b. I never pass gas. He however must have some sort of quota to fill because he farts around me like nobody’s business. They stink. I don’t like them.
2a. Hubby has no qualms whatsoever about coming in and peeing while I’m in the shower. I draw the line at doing number two while I’m in there.
2b. Usually, no. I had abdominal surgery last Tueday and needed help getting on and off the toilet. I was only tinkleling , though.
Oh, hell yes. I belch, fart, and pee in front of my fiancee all the time. She doesn’t mind a bit. One of the best things I learned in college was how to belch on cue.
Until I say “I do.” Then I get the feeling that as of that moment…I don’t!
This is the thread I became a Charter Member to post to? :rolleyes: Oh well, may as well start things off right.
I’ve no problem with burping, and only object to the more obnoxiously odiferous form of farts. I hit a rather odd situation the other night, though. While kissing a gentleman of my acquaintance, I let out a tiny burp mid-kiss! :o Fortunately, he wasn’t all that bothered, certainly not bothered enough to stop kissing me!
As for using the toilet, mileage does vary, but I’d have to say, “No thanks.” Ok, so I finally got used to the idea of “social nudity” thanks to some good friends and there hot tub, but somethings I’d prefer to keep a little bit private. I’ve got to preserve that oh-so-feminine mystique, after all!
As for me, I got used to the idea of my (now ex) boyfriend doing his business in front of me (all of it… and quite noisily at that). So after awhile I got used to doing my business in front of him (though less noisily).
Burping and farting - no problemo. I wouldn’t have a problem “passing gas” (in either direction) in front of someone who I am comfortable with - i.e. they do it in front of me too! But one of my male roommates, for example, thinks it’s disgusting for girls to burp and fart in front of people. I wouldn’t burp or fart in front of him.
If we’re we know each other well enough to be having sex with each other, then we’re close enough to admit to each other that we perform normal bodily functions.
Sheesh! For the love of God! Women DO NOT take dumps! They may burp or tinkle but they DO NOT pass logs. Only men do that! I’ve no idea what that extra hole is for except sex and I’m afraid to ask.
What is everyone trying to do, ruin my fairy tale images and sexual fantasies about women and how they don’t have natural bodily functions?
I’m closing my eyes now so that I can’t see what you are writing.
1b) If it happens, it happens, I don’t go out of my way to do it though… usually amuses us briefly anyway… We’re simple, easily amused folk ya know…
I would absolutely hate to share a bathroom with someone whilst either I or they were on the toilet… Fair enough to all the people who don’t mind it… but… ergh…
She takes great pride in burping, I almost never burp…
I take great pride in farting, she almost never farts, or so she would have you believe, but after a few drinks she lets rip…
Never would I feel comfortable using the toilet in front of her, but I’ve the excuse of medical conditions that make it even more unpleasant. But I’d avoid sharing the bathroom while she’s there. On the other hand, in her apartment without a lock on the bathroom door, we had great fun trying to spring open the door at the most embarassing moment - I guess it’s all acceptable if it’s humourous
I burp, fart, pee and poop in front of my hubby.
Ten and a half years buys some comfort.
All of these things are natural. Everybody does these things. We live in a house with only one bathroom. Five people living here full time, seven everyother weekend. If you can’t be comfortable around your family, who can you be comfortable around?
In every relationship there comes that magical momment when you feel comfortable enough to blow ass in front of eachother.
After almost 20 years together, my husband still tries to catch my eye after he farts to see what my reaction is. If he’s sure he has an audiance, (cat, dog, kid, it doesn’t matter who), he’ll present it in some way, by lifting one leg way up, or squatting over the cat’s head etc…
My three year old daughter is the only woman I’ve ever intentionally farted in front of. Yes, we enjoy slapping each other on the back after stepping on a mountain duck.
I used not to give a shit one way or the other. As a matter of fact I used to think couples who didn’t do this in front of eachother were maybe just a little up tight.
However, now I’m starting to sway towards the view of the OP. Some things are better left a mystery.
I have no idea what prompted me to change my views on this.
With my ex-husband and ex-boyfriend, I never farted or burped in front of them, and i hated it when they did it. I thought it was gross. But my current boyfriend will burp and fart in front of me, and i will do the same in front of him. In fact, we congratulate each other on the quality of the burp and/or fart. “Good one!”, “Pretty!”, or “That was a wimpy one.”
I don’t know why I was converted to this way of thinking. Must be true love, or something.
But so far I won’t poo in front of him, and he won’t in front of me either (but we’ll talk about our poos). We can pee in front of each other, however. He won’t let me hold his penis while peeing—I’ve heard it feels funny…
While recognizing that certain noises and functions are perfectly natural and normal, I prefer not to use them in social or competitive ways. If I need to belch or fart, I try to keep it to myself, excusing myself if it happens in front of others. I find neither to be a source of entertainment, regardless of which sex is present.
Bathroom functions are most definitely private, although my husband and I aren’t fanatical door-lockers. We just try to respect each other’s privacy. If he walks in on me, it’s not that big a deal. But while we share many moments, we don’t need to share them all.
