To take pride in my stinky farts?

[kellwells]

Ok, so I apologize for the TMI, but I have ALWAYS been a super smelly farter. It runs in my family. My mum has the stinkiest farts ever and so do me and my sister. I know it isn't an intolerance, and I do all the things that have been suggested to minimize it, but it's just the way I'm made.

When I was younger I was embarrassed by it, but then I decided that if I can't help it then I shouldn't be ashamed. So now I take pride in the fact that I can stink DH out of a room even though he's a big burly bloke and I'm little petite me. Even when he loads up on Guinness and pub food he can't compete with my stink. The best part is that mine are almost always silent so I will slip them out without him noticing and then laugh like crazy when it hits him.

So, I have to ask, is anyone else like this??

I love my stinky farts and I'm proud to say it! I especially love it when you can slip them out silently and you can watch your partner starting to smell it and wondering where it's from hahahahaha
Some people need to lighten up a bit.

I find farts hilarious. Better than finding them disgusting, it's a perfectly natural bodily function. I tend not to fart in public but in ones own home is perfectly acceptable to have some fun.

I don't need to lighten up because I don't find farting funny.

I don't find toilet humour funny, never have.

How unattractive.

Yes isn't it

silient and violent - brilliant !

my nerves make me fart.

Even at school if I had to stand next to the teacher a deadly one would seep out. Was very embarrassed.

Some people have no sense of humour.
Take pride in your stink
Just wondered are you Northern by any chance. Not that this makes much difference but we do tend to have a sense of humour.

My SOH tends to be a little more sophisticated

Farting is funny to us. We are mid-40's so quite grown-up, and no, it doesn't affect how attractive we find each other. Whilst I don't let rip indiscriminately when out and about, I do at home, we all do. I can't imagine being with someone so uptight that they felt the need to go into a different room to fart.

Mind you, when the dog farts I often wish he would have left the room first, he can peel paint!

Lol, it's only farting

I would leave someone if they constantly let out vile farts in my presence.

I choose not to spend my life smelling someone else's shit!

Mine don't tend to smell (thanks, Colpermin!) but my DP is astounded by some of the sounds I can make. I do have Crohn's disease, and can't always make it out of the room to pass wind. It doesn't normally make much difference, mind you, as they can be heard in the lounge when I'm in the kitchen. I'm long past being embarrassed by a bodily function that I can't always control.

The culprit of the worst smelling farts in our house is the dog, BTW, we always have Neutradol to hand. His are nearly always silent...

Is this an English thing? I mean, is it some kind of displaced sex humour thing???

Personally I think YABU. I can swing between hideous and no scent... I never think 'Ooh that was a good one!' - I more often apologise if I have an unexpectedly bad one in the presence of my DH.

DH never keeps anything back fart-wise. He's one of those blokes that will let rip wherever necessary, including at work and stuff. I've told him that he will have a reputation if he does it at his desk, and people will be talking about not wanting to have to sit near him. He comes from a free farting family though... honestly once when his DM got sickness bug when staying with us I had to leave the sitting room and open the kitchen window, I was so overcome by the fumes. She was very sorry and I'm not blaming her; she couldn't help it really - but the fact remained it was unpleasant to be in.

DH once farted in the car and it was so bad it made me retch about 4 or 5 times - I had to ask him to open his window (speaking was what made me retch)! Being subject to these things on a frequent basis, including the exploding shits he seems to have every morning, has certainly made me not very keen to be physically intimate with him. May not be so for everyone, but you should consider it evoking a similar response in your DH.

I am literally crying with laughter at this thread! !! Thanks...it's cheered me up x

As well as my window BTW. It needed double ventilation - on re-reading it sounds as if I was incapable of opening a window.

Is this an English thing? I mean, is it some kind of displaced sex humour thing???

I think you'll find it's pretty universal.

Any history of gallstones in the family? It's just this is a familiar problem in my family that goes hand in hand with gallstones.

Really? What if he was perfect in every other way?

Farts are hillarious in my house. My geezer high fives me when i do a really loud one. He's quite jealous of my bum talent.

I don't know if YBU, but I never deliberately fart around DH and blame any squeeky malfunctions on the dog A lady must retain some mystique

Oh aren't you just so funny OP.

Nice

Oh my god this is brilliant. I have a reputation in my family for being seriously po-faced about farting, burping and any other bodily function.

But I'm killing myself thinking about leaving DP if he farted, or running to the loo every time we wanted to trump. I'd rarely see DP if that was the case.

The first time I met my FIL to be, he went off into the kitchen and let off the longest, loudest, most rumbling series of farts known to man, thinking he was safe. DP and MIL are both a bit deaf so they didn't hear. I have never tried so hard not to laugh, I had tears running down my face.
