Let one rip

[Marie0]

My MIL says she never broke wind in front of any member of her family - but she is 83 so is this a generational thing?

I quite often have a farting competition with my DH to the point where we 'strike a pose' whilst trumping.

It's great fun.

AIBU to think this keeping your farts to yourself is a thing of the past, or I am just full of hot air.

Sorry, need to go before I type anything else, I need to 'strike a pose!'

I agree with PP that there's a difference between not holding it in and then making it about the mega-lols.

DP and I fart in front of each other but don't usually feel the need to make it in to a massive joke. Sometimes it is pretty though. He stills loves me and vice versa.

I just love the idea that so many people out there are holding in their farts in case they break some magic spell by simply trumping. It's natural, dude.

@Aprilshowersnowastorm

Silvercatowner - wanking is a natural bodily function but best done alone.
Same as farting imo

What a strange analogy.

Nobody has mentioned snapping yet!

DH and I would definitely exploded by now if we'd held in 17 years of trumps.

I snapped and farted 😂

Iv got a mild dairy and wheat intolerance I don't keep a great check on so never a shortage of wind in our house
Wind flys freely at home and at my Dp's and Dgp's but not at Dpil's
Dh and dd1 love pull my finger dd2 just laughs and shouts bum

Those who go to the bathroom to fart...is that literally what you do? Go in, shut door, fart, open door and leave? Why?

We Fart Freely in the FapandSnart household! I wouldn’t be able to hold it in anyway with my severe IBS 😂

I only ever farted when I peed, then I became pregnant with DS2 and farted all the time, it's calmed down a bit in the last 7 years.

Nope. Not for me I'm afraid.
I really really hate bad smells to the point they make me wretch. It really puts me off dp if he does it in the same room as me. Just go to the toilet or in another room.
I have no desire to inhale other people's poo particles thanks very much.

I'm farting away here.

I genuinely don't understand how anyone can find a fart unfunny. Even the word fart makes me smile.

I managed to fart with each contraction during labour. I apologised to the midwife after each one, to which she’d simply replied that she’d had worse. DH was giggling in the corner. I blamed the gas and air
My 8month old DS laughs at his own farts, I’m so proud

What a boy MrsHandles! 😂

To the pearl clutchers - can I just ask, what would you do on a long journey, sat in a car needing to fart? Would you actually hold it in and possibly cause yourself stomach pain??

Fair enough if some people don't find it amusing (we'll have to agree to disagree there), but are there REALLY folk out there who refuse to trump in front of their spouses/partners?

REALLY?!?!

The person you're close enough to have sex with (presumably with the lights off EVERY time and only ever through a 12x12ft thick hessian blanket with a small hole in it that's juuuust sufficiently large to allow for the mechanics of conjugal unpleasantness to take place and nothing more)? The person who has quite possibly witnessed you giving birth, with all of the delicate genteel dignity that said process involves?!

It's not completely unknown for a build-up of wind (from either one of two places of origin - or both) to make its presence known - completely beyond your control - whilst the horrid, ghastly coupling act is underway. What do you do then? Do you just lie there, tense and po-faced, fiercely holding it in? Set it free but sternly blame the dog (or butler)? Let it go and admit to it, knowing full well that it represents the automatic termination of the marriage on the grounds of unreasonable behaviour?!

It's just a bodily function. Why would you share and be honest about everything else with your special life partner except for this one small thing - by remaining so stubbornly, adamantly determined to try to make them believe that you, unlike every other human who has ever lived, never ever blow off?

It took a couple of years before DH and I farted in front of each other. I was poorly and was exhausted getting out of bed. Told him he had to lump it!

If there are lumps, then it has swiftly ceased to be a fart....

Philomena, it’s a joy to behold

😂😂😂😂😂

I don't fart in front of anyone. Dh has only hear me fart once, when we were play fighting. When I'm awake anyway, I'm pretty sure he's heard me fart in my sleep.

This! I just don’t get it. Why pretend you don’t fart and go to such a great effort for years and years

It was a good couple of years before now DH trumped in front of me. I remember the first time.... I couldn't stop laughing for about 20 mins!!!! I only do it in front of DH. not too often tho. Def never in front of anyone else.

Poo particles made me lol!

And the contraction trump parade gave me a giggle!

I started taking Metformin around a year ago.

The less said about it the better.

My capacity to fart could make me an Olympic hopeful if there was a category for it

TomHardy - I think its proper medical Latin name is actually metfartin!

Never in front of husband, but then I discovered it was futile as apparently I just fart on him in my sleep where I've been storing them up all evening.

If I left the room every time I farted, DP and I would never spend any time together! I'm windier than him, due to health issues, and can't keep them in anyway. This is the man who has seen me give birth 4 times, with all that goes with it, seen me ill with d&v, he can handle me farting too.
