Bodily functions and relationships

[Manda_24]

I never really did anything in front of my ex, he occasionally passed gas in front of me but always either apologized or said excuse me. I really didn't care, it's a natural body function and happens.

My farting policy is that if I have to I will announce that I "have to poot" and then run away. That way I can do so somewhere out of sniffing and hearing range. This ends up being both amusing and polite.

Ha! Just make sure you shake it our of your pants first so you don't bring it back in the room with you!

If anyone farts in this house, the one who thinks it's funny is going to say "Aahhh... breathtaking!"
And the offended (only pretend they're offended but really think it's great) will say "Ugh, go liquidate your assets!"

We're so juvenile.

My parents were always relaxed around each other and to me it was a turn off when they let out the bodily explosions all the time. I dont' feel comfortable doing that. I've done it in relationships when I was younger and felt more...err, unfeminine, afterwards? I dont like when the guy I am with does it either. Just not attractive to me. So no, I don't do that in relationships except by accident, just not me. There's being relaxed with each other, and then there's taking all the glamour out of a relationship completely

We ALL do it. Why pretend we don't and trick ourselves into thinking our spouses don't? What are we, children?

eh...my family is quite dysfunctional. They are either military or work in health care or related field. We're all pretty comfy with bodily functions. I couldn't date someone who was freaked out by it. I try to be polite in social settings but at home....yikes! The poor kitties....lol

I like this.

I do not like to be burped or farted in front of, I find it rather rude, and I in turn don't do that to anyone. It makes me uncomfortale, for whatever reason that is. Likely over time- you'd just break a lot of the barriers in marriage, especially if you live in a small house.

It smells really bad, and burping makes me feel sick. Just because its normal doesn't mean its necessarily nice. I don't think a lot of guys on here who are saying "its normal! So its ok!" Would like it if their SO's went into great detail about their periods... And that is normal, but for many people, highly repulsive.

But farts = comedy. If a standup comedian just got on stage, put a microphone by his chute and let fly for half an hour, he'd sell out all his shows. Although, he would have to have a lot of candles burning on the stage in order not to give the entire audience a stroke.
