to not 'release wind' in front of my DP?

[KodakTheBat]

We've been together 3 years. I've never done it. During a conversation with the girls last night, in their words I'm a 'bloody freak' . I've also told him I don't poo

I'm not weird am I? Surely I'm not the only one who doesn't...?

Wind

Where're you be
Let your wind go free
In church or Chapel
Let it rattle.

Arthur Jeffrey Hodgkinson (1915-1986)

OK, well no hiding any bodily functions here at Antidote Towers with our en-suite without a door (inherited from the previous owners, but the mystery was long gone before we moved here!)

However I am very prudish about no teeth cleaning except in the bathroom, probably because the smell of toothpaste makes me retch.

I do remember a girl at Uni who claimed never to fart or poo, and then got incredibly drunk and was discovered having had a crap in a suitcase in a cupboard at a party! Bunch of degenerate medical students thought this was pricelessly funny and she was never allowed to forget it.

In 24 years I have never pooed or farted.

i don't get the link between prudish sex and not being windy in front of your partner. My sex life would make you blush (not right now I have a 5 month old baby) but the rest of the time, well, even Reality thinks I'm out there (disclaimer - possibly, I've never actually asked her) . My very dear friend has been an 'escort' at times so I don't think I'm prudish at all.

No problems with dp buying tampax for me, he does it all the time. We also have sex during these times (tmi sorry), not actually in the shop obviously.

How is that in anyway related to the fact that I wouldn't find him attractive if he did that in front of me and certainly wouldn't do it in front of him? If it's so sexy why don't Daniel Craig/Robert P do it in bond or twilight??

We have an extremely active and healthy sex life I'm also something of a naturist and like walking about with no clothes on. And he's not a prude as has been mentioned, he wouldn't bat an eyelid if I asked him to buy tampons and would get the right ones. We can happily talk about farting or bodily functions or anything at all. I personally choose to keep my private area bodily functions private - so toilet habits including farts and periods - that is all. It's really not indicative of much!

i know this is late in, but im not ashamed of my periods. i send DH out to buy sanitary towels and various creams, drugs etc. but he doesnt need to see my period blood. i dont like looking at it, its not a nice sight, i dont see any point in subjecting DH to it either.
i draw the line at pooing and weeing in front of each other just because i like those minutes alone to sit and ponder the questions of the universe
but shaving, done [and i have mildly hairy toes!]

its not keeping up a mystique, its just that i wouldnt do it in front of my kids or my mother, so i dont see why DH needs to be around when i change a sanitary towel or am attacked to the loo for several hours after a heavy night out.
[not puke, he's seen me puke and we are both squeamish when it comes to vomit]

I don't intentionally fart in front of anyone. If I need to go I go to the bathroom, but am generally not that farty. Husband not into public farting either and says "pardon" if he burps or farts inadvertantly. It's just good manners isn't it?
Toilet humour is for toddlers.
If a bloke deliberately farted in front of me whilst dating (or made no attempt not to fart which is the same thing) that would be a big turn off. Not surprisingly none of my boyfriends have been frequent farters.

honestly guys, you MUST fart

better an empty house than an angry tenant

Do those of you with no anal tone (or no control over whether you fart or poo = same thing) fart at work, in front of colleagues and customers? To me farting and defaecating are private things you try and keep to yourself. I don't get the "I fart because I'm liberated and sexy" argument. A farty bloke would get no bedroom action from me.

what are you afraid of? That he will sprint screaming from the house at the slightest suggestion that you have bowels?
a la this

'inter urinas et faeces nascimur'

Yeah, I'm terrified that my lovely, enlightened partner of ten years will leave me if he realises I have bowels

I'm not afraid, I keep these things to myself to appease my OWN sensibilities and not those of others. I make me own decisions about my own body, what it does and where therefore I must be a disempowered prude

Think that one through again.

nope, don't do it in front of anyone, makes me feel sick if anyone does it to me, was always taught not to do it in public. Have never heard any member of my family do it either, except when it really can't be helped. Although we are led to believe from my niece that my brother does it a lot!

ye gods Normality! you can bite you know

I think you might have misunderstood my point a bit though, twas never a personal attack on you or your habits : I just read the OP and liked the image of her chap running for the door...

just pointing out that this is the same boring old dichotomy for women as everything else....

I don't see any feminist dichotomy here, just a personal choice about whether to carry out private bodily functions in public. I wouldn't in front of anyone, not just DH. Similarly eh wouldn't in front of me.

i would have been able to keep up ther pretence all the way up to becoming pregnant now he knows i fart lol

Those that say it's a good thing to be able to do it in front of your DP - Why do you not do it in job interviews/at work? If it's a normal bodily function thats better out than in, why hold it in other situations? Because people would think your rude, disgusting? Is it ok for you DP's to think of you like that?

What's a dutch oven?

If you don't burp in front of each other - how can you tell who can get the furthest into the alphabet?

pulpfiction a dutch oven is when you do a fart in bed and then pull the covers over you and your DP's head so that they have to smell it.

It is all class here in Casa Morloth I tell you.

I don't fart in front of other people, but I will in front of DP/DS's. I did fart once in front of my SIL, I was way overdue with DS2 and was coughing and just lost control and was mortified then. It is different with DH and the kids.

DH farts every morning in front of me. Loudly. And even after 17 years together it still makes me laugh.

I don't know why I find farts so funny, but I do.

Would like to add that I still find DH VERY sexually attractive.

SoH, you're very funny. And you're right.

I love a good poo joke and dh and ds and I do giggle at farts. But it is about choice and sharing or not sharing doesn't necessarily mean hang ups. I'd happily describe my poos if dh went sadean and wanted to know. But I wouldn't want him in there with me. It's my 'me time'
