Aibu to force DP to smell my farts?

What it says on the tin really. I find it hilarious to hold his head under the blanket after I let rip. He finds it in equal parts gross and funny. And I started to wonder what mumsnet would think. Would they think I was being disrespectful or just juvenile. I like to wonder which of our couple friends do the same. He reckons none of them but I think they would say the same if us....yet we do it! The funny thing is I never thought I would ever be comfortable doing this in front of anyone else. And here I am.

OP isn't really asking for advice or if they're unreasonable. It's someone getting off on the subject thread, people.

Sunflowersforever · 04/03/2018 13:17

The OP has no history on here, it's a scam

oppsthereshegoes · 04/03/2018 13:46

Nobody gets off on smelling farts! Confused

liz70 · 04/03/2018 13:54

Joyce apparently did. Dirty old perv.

We just fart as and when we need to and just ignore it, not out of embarrassment but because it’s natural if it’s just us there. We have been known to say,”That cat is disgusting!” If there is a smelly one and we have visitors. We have 3 cats so it’s quite easy to blame one 🙂

OtterInDisgrace · 04/03/2018 14:20

To each their own but I don’t know why you sound so incredibly pleased with yourself, OP. it’s not exactly big or clever, is it?

BitOutOfPractice · 04/03/2018 14:23

The question in my mind is, who wants to have sex with someone who does this, and who has the sense of humour of a 9yo schoolboy? It's just not sexy is it?

Trinity66 · 04/03/2018 14:25

gross

Onlyoldontheoutside · 04/03/2018 14:30

Much better for both of you to clamp the duvet down at the top and lift your legs up and down to waft the smell out the bottom end.

To those saying it's abuse this alone wouldn't be considered abusive surely.
It's me who's posted about an abusive ex who would go to the toilet fully nude and leave the door open in a tiny flat. I'd be shouted in while he's in the middle of wiping. It was weird, awkward and I was very uncomfortable.
He expected the same from me so I would try use public toilets or not go at all. I've suffered digestive problems since this. Of course though this wasn't the only abusive behaviour.

I've still never really understood why he did this if someone would be kind enough to explain? Humiliation? It worked. He's the one shitting up a smelly storm engulfing every room and I'm the one who's humiliated. Dunno how that works.

My eldest son left one halfway down the stairs the other evening.

squoosh · 04/03/2018 18:50

I've just re-read Joyce's adoration of Nora's farts again. And laughed again.

oppsthereshegoes · 04/03/2018 19:41

Stop bloody projecting people! Hmm

Lovetosmell2918 · 04/03/2018 20:56

wow what has happened to mumsnet?! Seriously can people no longer post something about what happens in their private life for a little bit of a laugh and to see if others do/feel the same.

I've been called a troll, abusive, or someone with a weird fetish getting off on all the replies. I'm not even sure what there is in the replies given to get off on. Those yelling that I must be getting off on it - you're clearly deeply paranoid and a bit sad. And yes I'm aware that now I'll get a whole bunch of replies saying "not as sad as you laughing at your farts" ....but if it's good enough for James Joyce, it's good enough for me!

To the PP who asked about having a poo in front of DP - yes I do and he does the same although I actually run in to brush my teeth first in the morning as the smell makes me gag and I don't like it. If my DP seriously got very upset with what I did then of course I would stop but he's not as is quite clear from my posts. Please stop projecting your own dislikes/standards onto me. I'm not sitting here calling all of you a bunch of prudes and making assumptions that your relationships must be humourless and superficial if you're not even able to fart in front of your other half without getting your knickers in a twist. Different horses for courses etc.

Oh I missed the post saying this is a scam! Grin

Anyway, I've been reading your replies to DP and he thinks it's a bit sad and tedious that a bunch of people have been bothered to reply and get so worked up about it and also sad and tedious that I was bothered to write about it in the first place. Blush apparently he thinks I should be doing something more constructive like actually reading James Joyce's books Hmm

It tickles me that the thread above this one is 'Is romance dead' haha.

candyloves · 04/03/2018 21:08

Our house is very trumpy.
My DP does awful ones and will warn me if he's just let a bad one rip in an other part of the house. and one of my cats does stinky ones too.
I have IBS and can cause plenty of offence at times.
We all fart, who cares

Lovetosmell2918 · 04/03/2018 21:08

Hahaha well we've been going out for 8 years and the romance seems to be bubbling away still although obviously we've had our ups and downs. Although not fart- related I hasten to add!! More annoying in laws and difficulties getting on the housing ladder

My not so D P does silent but violent farts! I sit at the furthest end of the sofa, away from his chair, they still get me!

When my beautiful rose smelling farts slip out, I blame the nearest child to me.

After all, Purple Ronnie says 'If you do a bottom burp, remember to say in time 'Goodness Gracious, what a whiff, it doesn't smell like mine''.

SomeKnobend · 04/03/2018 21:16

Assuming he's strong enough to stop you putting his head under the covers if he chose to, but he allows you to do it because he thinks it's funny (or enjoys the smell!) then Yanbu. I don't fancy it myself, thanks, but that's a matter between me and dh. Knock yourselves out with the smell.

cazzyc · 04/03/2018 21:18

I would be mortified and worried that my husband wouldn't find me attractive. I'm no prude, but I believe familiarity breeds contempt. You're not roommates...

macbethh · 04/03/2018 21:34

Elusiveone · 04/03/2018 21:37

I find farts hilarious to. If someone farts near me i am in hysterics laughing at them Smile

MotherofaSurvivor · 04/03/2018 22:33

That is revolting and hardly feminine is it? Is this supposed to make him find you more attractive cos it bloody well won't! Likely repulses him
