Farting In Front of Your Partner?

It is *NEVER* okay to fart in front of your partner. Never. And, quite honestly, Bro and I have had brutal fights over this very question. Bro thinks it’s okay to open up your ass cheeks and let the foul, disgusting and crass winds blow right out of there. I, on the other hand, think that one should always … and I mean always … maintain a decent and holy level of sophistication when in front of those we expect to hold in high esteem. Discuss, people — to fart or not to fart in front of your partner? That is the question.

Oh, and, by the way, a big fat thanks goes out to Howard for causing the unholy and still ongoing brawl between me and my Bro. :)

I used to be on the ‘never, no way’ side of the fence. I have a pretty healthy diet, stay away from junk food and dairy (which would probably cause the excess gas in the first place) and if I ever have gas it’s normally of the burping variety – which I can do silently without anyone noticing! I used to expect boyfriends to maintain the same gasless existence when in my company. Then I met my husband to be and that all changed. His medication comes with the horrible side effect of very painful (I’ve since learnt) cramping and gas, and holding it in during the long weekends we would spend together was just impossible for him. When we first started dating he would not spend the night at my place or vice versa in case his meds were acting up and he would get extremely embarrassed just from the noise his stomach would make! I had no idea until we went on holiday for a fortnight and he finally admitted the problem and we are now engaged and living together and I wouldn’t change him for the world. I really don’t care if someone farts around me now as I don’t think people mean to (unless you’re a 13yr old highschool student maybe!) and I always laugh it off to stop them feeling embarrassed these days as I know it can be a real problem for other people and I am just lucky.

This is the first time i’ve been in a more serious relationship. In my opinion, I thought it would be better to hold the farts while you’re in a more private place but recently on our 7 month anniversary I accidently let one slip while watching TV. I immediately apologised and we both ended up laughing it off – but unfortunate for me, he will never stop the jokes. Well, at least i broke the ice!!

Letting out a big, long, noisy stinky in a crowded place will guarantee you some much needed elbow room.

This works especially well in New York City and Washington, DC where everyone already looks as if they’re smelling shit.

What I love to do is fart in lifts, when Im on my own. Like this, the people who will get in will enjoy the nice smell of rotten eggs, they’ll look at each others wondering who did it :D

If your prudish other half is embarassed by the noise or the smell of your wind … try lighting the fart with a match ,  the stench wont be there and the methane gas is quite spectacular when it goes off .  I guarantee your lady will never bitch about a plain ordinary old fart again .
