We slept together the first night we got into a romantic relationship, although we’d been friends for years so it was comfortable and we already knew we liked each other.
We have farting contests. He usually wins. When we have belching contests, I usually win.
To be perfectly honest, it never occurred to me that this “school boy question” might have been asked before. I’m deeply sorry if I’ve ruined your SDMB experience.
My wife and I dated for a few years, then split up for a few years, then got back together and now (obviously) we’re married. The first time we dated, I never farted in front of her even though I was a prodigious farter back in the day. Despite having some pretty nasty sex with each other, for some reason I thought she’d be offended by a fart.
Then we split up, and I vowed to be up front an honest with the women I slept with. Whenever I was going to bed with a woman for the first time, I told her “look, I just want to warn you- I fart in bed. Don’t be alarmed, it’s just a little gas.”
So when my wife and I got back together, she got the same treatment. It wasn’t long before she was ripping them in front of me.
I leave and go to the restroom/other part of the house to fart. I think in the 6 years we’ve been together, my husband has heard me fart once*. In the car or something, I can hold it like nobody’s business. He, on the other hand, farts at will.
I have major issues surrounding farting/pooping though.
If you said, “I am 35 years old and have never voluntarily farted in front of a man,” that’d be me.
Of course, sometimes certain sounds just…come out, especially if you’re sleeping. Or pregnant and laughing. Or pregnant, laughing and trying to have sex. Not that we’ve tried that or anything.
Married over four years, together nine and still do not actively share farts. I’m sure there are accidents from time to time, but we’re polite enough not to say anything.
