Page 4 | Farting in bed.

Chatting with a close friend a few days ago over a coffee. We've known each other for years so nothings ever off topic. She was taken aback when i disclosed that for years I've farted in bed and my DH ( who also farts in bed too ) isn't bothered in the slightest. Would this be a deal breaker for you? Or are you also Teamfartinbed?

We peed in front of each other, burped, squeezed each others spots, talked about our poo and other gross things but we never farted intentionally, it would definitely have killed the attraction smelling his bowels all the time.

If the odd one escaped then we'd laugh our heads off and tell the other to run 😂 But to intentionally push them out.. nah. And no neither of us exploded!

I don’t purposefully burp or do anything like that - obviously sometimes somethings slip out and that is fine (including I guess at night when we/I are not awake) - but for someone I actually want to have sex with to think it’s ok to let rip in all areas I think it’s deeply unpleasant. I’ve been in stages with DH - he showered me post c section etc… and I’m deeply comfortable with him but Jesus - keep something sacred. I imagine a lot of the dual farters shit with the door open as well 🤮

Exactly this 🙌🏼

Do the non farters refrain from burping, hiccuping and sneezing in front of partners too? Or are those body functions OK?
Genuine question.

If I sneeze I'm farting.

In terms of bodily interactions as a couple
No thank you to:
Farting, shitting or pissing with the door open, burping, eating with a mouth open, nose picking, skid marks in toilets or pants.

Yes to please cuddling, kissing, great sex, nakedness, massages, looking after each other when ill.

I really really really can’t understand how anyone can think they are really close to anyone special, when you are not comfortable enough to fart in front of one another.

My dp and myself have discussed this over the years, we both agree that people on these relationships really can’t be as close as people in a relationship comfortable enough to be able to fart without embarrassment or judgement.

The person you are sharing your life with, but you can’t fart in front of?

Yes if one escapes on the rare occasion, but to push them out all the time means you have a superior relationship? I've heard it all now 😂
You can have a close loving open funny relationship without openly farting infront of each other.

No, you can't, you're a LIAR... apparently 🙄😂

My dad used to fart infront of my new boyfriends as mum was deaf but lip read so unless I mentioned it they didn't know she was deaf!

Only boyfriends who laughed stood the test of time. Dh was then 17 and he's still around.

Lighten up peeps it's just arse air and completely normal

Iwannabeacrocodilehunter · 03/04/2023 00:14

I’m not “teamfart” anywhere. It’s a bodily function and if I happen to fart in bed or in the kitchen, or while watching TV, I just pardon myself. I don’t go out of my way to fart anywhere in particular. DH has also passed wind in numerous places, such as the car or bed, or on a walk.

I’d be very sceptical about anyone who claimed that they never farted in bed or next to their husband. Not even when they are asleep 🤨 yeah right.

Has anyone actually said they have never farted when asleep?

That
I don't even fart in front of my parents! Obviously I do when I'm asleep but otherwise, nope

Spectre8 · 03/04/2023 00:29

If they don't stink i honestly don't care.

369E · 03/04/2023 00:30

Me and DH do fart regularly in front of one another. However with my ex of 5 years neither of us did. I even used to try to poo at work. If I had to do it at home it was taps on and shower running. I had constant stomach ache for 5 years. On more than one occasion I farted myself awake in the night and just lay, eyes clamped shut, praying he didn't hear it.

Teenagehorrorbag · 03/04/2023 00:34

Accidental or asleep parps can't be helped. Otherwise I'm torn. DH's usually stink and I do think making vile smells in front of other people is gross. But I know mine don't usually smell so I do quietly release them in bed - whereas poor stinky DH has to get up and go to the en-suite.

I'd actually rather he went to the main bathroom as just hearing him let rip is so cringey, but I know I'm probably unreasonable on that point. But it does turn me off him - no way could I hear all that and then then want sex!

Flojo1979 · 02/04/2023 21:00

Nope, no faring in my bed! If the odd one pops out we laugh like kids but otherwise we try to reserve for bathroom. We also DTD every single day for context, we like to make efforts to keep attraction etc.

That would be an interesting graph. Correlating frequency of bed Farts with frequency of fornication.

Topseyt123 · 03/04/2023 00:38

Team bed fart here. If you can't let rip in your own home (and bed) then where can you?

I find the first fart of the day hugely satisfying. I've even woken DH up before his alarm occasionally when just letting my morning ripper go. He's the same now.

I grew up in a house where farting competitions between my parents were normal. My mother claims that my Dad was the most numerous farter, but that she won in terms of loudness, length, volume etc.

We weren't uptight about farting in our house, though were more careful if we had visitors.

DH grew up having to virtually pretend not to even have an arse and farting was utterly frowned upon. I have him much better trained now.

Totally agree! Good manners means not making other people feel uncomfortable - so blasting vile smells in their direction isn't likely to be a pleasant thing! Of course long term couples may put up with things that others wouldn't, socially - but a bit of respect for your partner's comfort is surely a nice thing?

Anyone can accidentally fart and apologise, but ideally would either a) do it silently if they knew it wouldn't smell, or b) leave the room. No-one wants to hear it and certainly not to have to knowingly breathe in someone's disgusting poo-infected air that has just left their intestines. If you can smell it you are inhaling it. Gross!

Bodily functions are of course normal, but we don't always wish to share them with others or do them in public. People poo, and vomit, etc - but that doesn't mean those are things that any of us would choose to do publicly or share with our partners.

That said - farts are normal and fairly harmless. I prefer them kept as discreetly as possible - but they are part of everyday life. I personally just prefer a level of good manners but am still having that argument with DH after 20 years of marriage. DD agrees with me, DS doesn't care. I may be fighting a losing battle, but I still hate it! Ho hum.....

OnaBegonia · 03/04/2023 01:10

Burping isn't something either of us would do openly either. It's just grim imo.
What?? do you manage to hold it in??
Very odd.

Yes and we get bonus points for how sneaky they are and what body part you manage to hit.

Cupofteaaa5 · 03/04/2023 01:14

I couldn't be in a long term relationship where I had to leave the room every time I needed to fart. I have IBS. Some evenings I'm farting away every few minutes. We just laugh about it in our house. It's not a big deal.

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 03/04/2023 01:15

Anyone who claims they never fart is an absolute liar.

ChappellApple · 03/04/2023 01:17

Well, we have three of us in the household with severe IBS! If we hold it in or go all prim and proper and guilt anyone over the state of their bowels, then it wouldn't be very fair, incredibly painful and may lead to accidents. I do believe humour is a great coping mechanism to what is a natural thing that none of us can help (that would make us very ill if held in for prolonged periods). Ofc, in public = damage limitation... at home = what my husband and I deem 'the mating call'😆

Each to their own, I don't fart in front of DH but I don't fart in front of anyone. However I also stop peeing if anyone can hear me

Same here.

Dealbreaker for me.

YellowAndGreenToBeSeen · 02/04/2023 21:01

Currently single but no, I don’t pass wind in front of anyone else (apart from during sleep).

Same here!
