to wonder if men actually fart more?

Do men naturally fart more often/noisily/smelly? Or are we just conditioned to not stink the room up by society? Obviously I fart, but mostly silently and usually with very little smell, but I don't see myself as 'ladylike'. All the men I know seem to merrily fart loudly and stinkily.

Genuine question...

I think it's definitely a social conditioning thing. Though diet comes into play too - the more carbs the more farts. When I went low protein for 6 weeks I barely farted at all.

I have never and will never fart in front of OH, My best mate and I however let rip haha.

It's about time and place I think.

Although I don't believe men in general are really bothered.

I think beer = smelly farts. And I personally think more men drink beer than women.

So yes, I think men fart more...

I drink just as much beer as DH, we just don't do it in front of each other. It is about time and place

WowserBowser · 06/08/2014 12:10

If i farted every time i needed to - however much I've been conditioned - it would never be as much as dh.

But he also poos much much more than me.

But maybe it's just different people.

SpottyTits · 06/08/2014 12:23

Not in my house. DH thinks I'm a man spiritually Grin

DP parts at least every hour. Me? Once a day whilst I'm on the toilet, perhaps even less than that.

DP can take four shits at work and then come home and take another one whereas I can go for two weeks without pooing once ( unhealthy I know)

WallyBantersJunkBox · 06/08/2014 12:27

I do far more that DH.

DS is the worst though, and does those cloying "ninja" ones whilst cuddling now and thinks they are hysterical Hmm

NoArmaniNoPunani · 06/08/2014 12:28

We shit and fart pretty equally here. I can produce some right shockers at times

KirstyJC · 06/08/2014 12:30

No man farts more than me!Grin

Even if DH farts, the kids still blame me.

Hakluyt · 06/08/2014 12:31

Men with no manners appear to fart more than women with good manners. And vice versa.

EmberElftree · 06/08/2014 12:37

jelly Shock what do you eat?

I usually go once a day pretty standard really. DH goes 3 or 4 times a day.

He is not a big farter but does let rip with his first morning pee. I can hear it through 2 walls and 2 closed doors. It is thunderous!!

He doesn't really fart in front of me maybe a couple of times in 8 years and he always apologises and looks embarrassed.

I am a secret farter, I don't do it in front of DH but quite happy to do it in front of parents/brother Grin

I think they do fart more yes op and they are stinkier wonder why? Me and DH eat basically the same diet except for lunch most days. Hmmm...

SaucyJack · 06/08/2014 12:39

Not in my gaff. I'm a lentil munching veggie and DP isn't.

I'll leave the rest to your imagination.
