Eeeeek. Omg boo why? I've just found out what vaginal prolapse is why that why?

GotArt · 26/01/2011 22:53

I'm a lazy MN... I only search in the 'Last 15 minute' threads. Blush

Glad this one was in there when I popped in. Ironically, I'm a bit gassy today.

I have no idea - she was totally and utterly pissed a little tipsy when she proclaimed that one. Not sure if dh had ever done it I would be telling anyone, and certainly not letting anyone know his peculiar (imo) sexual fantasies. bleugh

ILoveItWhenYouCallMeBoo · 26/01/2011 22:54

erm, childbirth ladypumpington.

Whie we're on the subject of nasty stuff what happens when you have had a baby, you can develop flatal incontinence after instrumenta births i.e. you gotta let them rip.

Not that I would know anything about that.

(coughs)

winnybella · 26/01/2011 22:56

GotArt Well, we differ then. I don't consider public farting, belching, scratching your balls, picking your nose, spitting etc to be polite to others.It also extends, imo, to home.

I don't walk around the house in full make-up and immaculately attired so DP doesn't catch me at being an actual human being, fgs Hmm

Of course, if both partners don't mind, then it's fine, whatever.

reelingintheyears · 26/01/2011 22:56

Where did you get your new bed from?
We're getting a new one this weekend.
Hurrah.

LadyPumpington · 26/01/2011 22:56

Sorry I'm very squeamish about all that, I have been through it twice I don't know how.....

Figgyrolls · 26/01/2011 22:56

9while5 - I thought piles was unpleasant enough. Grin

Figgyrolls · 26/01/2011 22:57

Oh bugger I said that outloud again didn't I Blush Grin

feel I may have to name change in the future!!!!

Figgyrolls · 26/01/2011 23:00

winny believe it or not don't like the in public aspect of any of the things you are talking about - on the street yuk/ in the lift etc but dh lives in my home as I live in his and it is our private space.

GotArt · 26/01/2011 23:01

I wouldn't go out of my way to spectacle fart in public, but if I'm cruising down the sidewalk and fart comes on, I will let slide out. Its pretty obvious when you stop the wayside and clench your ass cheeks together to stop. You can be discreet. And as far as spitting, I do that too, but into the street cause its better than swallowing what you just coughed up. That is revolting and makes me want to puke, which I've only, luckily, publicly puke but that was due to too much absinthe. Grin

ledkr · 26/01/2011 23:02

to the non farters what do you actually do when you have a windy belly some nights?Do you actually get out of bed and walk out of the room every 5 mins.I dont go out of my way to fart on or around dh but it's near on impossible to never fart by them.

ILoveItWhenYouCallMeBoo · 26/01/2011 23:02

"public farting, belching, scratching your balls, picking your nose, spitting"

scratching balls, picking noses and spitting are not things you have no control over. tehy are not bodily functions. tehy dont equate with farting or burping.

GotArt · 26/01/2011 23:03

Publicly puke once I meant to say.

Figgyrolls · 26/01/2011 23:03

GotArt - classy spitting Grin
Actually spitting makes me want to vom full stop, some nasty white van driver once spat something unpleasant that had been coughed up out of the window of his van (or his passenger did) and it landed on my drivers window - still makes me retch now.......Envy

LadyPumpington · 26/01/2011 23:03

You have to spit into a tissue surely gotart? But fart freely I agree

Binfullofmaggotsonthe45 · 26/01/2011 23:04

Pull my finger? Go on......

winnybella · 26/01/2011 23:05

Figgy- yes, of course. I certainly didn't mean to dictate what's acceptable in your own home if both of you are fine with it.

Sadly, we're not in agreement with DP Grin

GotArt · 26/01/2011 23:05

What about sneezing? You have a big sneeze come out of no where and then a fart unexpectedly comes out. WHAT DO YOU DO? Grin You say, 'excuse me' and wipe the snot off the person next to you.

GotArt · 26/01/2011 23:07

I don't spit right in front of someone. I wait till no one is in direct view.

GotArt · 26/01/2011 23:08

Figgy that is gross, I agree. Made me gag a little.
