Is it normal to like the smell of your own farts

I said what I said, and my husband thinks it’s weird lol

My dps were weirdly uptight about farts, which passed down to me and I was determined not to make farts weird for my dc...unfortunately this has resulted in them farting with gay abandon, cupcaking being the latest fad....

I find a bath fart to be the most satisfying, and bizarrely fragrant 🤷🏻‍♀️

Everyone likes their own brand :)

I mean; its weirdly satisfying - but I wouldn't buy a candle that smells like them!

I wish we still had the 🤣 emoji!

Bobbedhairdontcare · 08/01/2026 18:46

Yes of course I like my own. I call them love puffs.

Though I think they come with a warning of gas poisoning on removal?

I'm waiting for the "I don't fart" brigade to join the thread 🤣

Bushwoolie · 08/01/2026 18:31

I'm so glad you asked. When I was unable to sleep a few nights ago I was tempted to ask the very same question 🤣

I'm an adult . I don't find farts remotely funny. If that makes me not " very thrilling" I'm proud of the fact.

I find them funny.

I just never, ever admit to them produce them, so am unable to comment sorry op😇.

My life is full of fun actually, just trying to have a light forum chat darling. You don’t sound very thrilling either

If this is your idea of fun then you must lead a very sad life OP.

It's normal I think. I googled it once.

Oh, but wouldn't it be excellent if you could? Swapping the labels in the shop would become a national event 🤣

BillieWiper · 08/01/2026 18:08

I wouldn't say I like them. But I'm kind of interested in how they smell. But I try to avoid farting in front of other people. So I guess it's kind of like a private thing you do, absorb the smell that you produce, contemplate it, and it kind of makes you feel alive?! Gawd knows, lol. I'm prob weird. 🤣

Growlybear83 · 08/01/2026 18:08

🤣🤣🤣. I’m afraid I often need a gas mask for mine and I don’t like the smell of them in the slightest.

TheDandyLion · 08/01/2026 18:07

Yeah that's normal.

Is this a wind up?! 😂

Pull my finger and you’ll find out

TangerinePlate · 08/01/2026 18:01

Apparently kids are like farts- your ones are the bestest in the Universe

StabbyCat · 08/01/2026 17:57

Normal but people won’t usually admit it. Which you could understand in real life but I’ve no idea why people on an anonymous forum care what other anonymous people think of them.

JLou08 · 08/01/2026 17:53

I'd say it is normal but no one likes to admit to it 😂
