I said what I said, and my husband thinks it’s weird lol

Is this a wind up?! 😂

This has got to be a male!

LuckyBitches · 08/01/2026 17:40

Totally normal, in my experience.

Shittyyear2025 · 08/01/2026 17:42

I recall Chris Evans (ginger TV guy) once doing a poll that said other people's farts are ethe worst smell whereas your own...

No, I’m female and a very feminine one 😂 I don’t fart just to smell them, but if one falls out I don’t mind it- but if my husband farts RANK!

Love smelling mine under the covers!

ohyesido · 08/01/2026 17:45

It’s not nice to admit that

I mean; its weirdly satisfying - but I wouldn't buy a candle that smells like them!

EchoedSilence · 08/01/2026 17:52

Are you 12?

Topseyt123 · 08/01/2026 17:53

I'm not bothered by the fragrance of my own. They bear the scent of rose petals and honeysuckle. 😉😃

Most people don't admit to it publicly very often though. 🤣

JLou08 · 08/01/2026 17:53

I'd say it is normal but no one likes to admit to it 😂

StabbyCat · 08/01/2026 17:57

Normal but people won’t usually admit it. Which you could understand in real life but I’ve no idea why people on an anonymous forum care what other anonymous people think of them.

LetRip · 08/01/2026 17:58

Period farts are something else though

Apparently kids are like farts- your ones are the bestest in the Universe

Pull my finger and you’ll find out

TheDandyLion · 08/01/2026 18:07

Yeah that's normal.

Growlybear83 · 08/01/2026 18:08

🤣🤣🤣. I’m afraid I often need a gas mask for mine and I don’t like the smell of them in the slightest.

BillieWiper · 08/01/2026 18:08

I wouldn't say I like them. But I'm kind of interested in how they smell. But I try to avoid farting in front of other people. So I guess it's kind of like a private thing you do, absorb the smell that you produce, contemplate it, and it kind of makes you feel alive?! Gawd knows, lol. I'm prob weird. 🤣

Oh, but wouldn't it be excellent if you could? Swapping the labels in the shop would become a national event 🤣

GennaroHolly · 08/01/2026 18:16

It's normal I think. I googled it once.

If this is your idea of fun then you must lead a very sad life OP.

My life is full of fun actually, just trying to have a light forum chat darling. You don’t sound very thrilling either
