Sorry, but that is prudish. :undecided it can't be good for you.alwaysbrassic wrote: »Been with hubby 12 years and have never farted in front of him. I'm not prudish i just chose not to! Saying that I'm sat here in agony with trapped wind!
You didn't used to go out with a bouncer did you? :rotfl:xXMessedUpXx wrote: »Eurgh that just reminded me
My ex used to fart in bed then pull the covers over my head

The best thing I ever learnt at Guides, actually the only thing before I got kicked out was silent farting.
If you are in bed, just roll on your side and with your hand just slightly part your butt cheeks. No sound at all. Works standing up too but might look a bit odd in company !0 -
It's nice to see that there are some women who still allow their hubbies to have the first fart :rotfl:alwaysbrassic wrote: »Been with hubby 12 years and have never farted in front of him.This is a system account and does not represent a real person.

I wouldn't fart in public where anyone could hear me...Man plans and God laughs...Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry. But by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it introduces the idea that if we try to understand each other, we may even become friends.0

I suffer from terrible wind due to my IBS but I manage to control it in public. The moment I walk through my front door however I let rip, it's like a balloon being deflated sometimes!
I have no qualms about doing it in front of my OH but wouldn't do it in front of anyone else. He doesn't do it in front of me however.0 -
I could fart for England but never at work (I take myself off to the loo and employ Tosca2's parted cheeks method) but hubby, son and stepkids are all fair game

Unfortunately, a couple of Christmases ago I was in desperate need, in my own front room with above mentioned where I'd never normally hold back, lifted a cheek from the chair for maximum noise and farted to spectacular effect only to suddenly remember that my inlaws were there too
When the kids were smaller and playing hide and seek DH persuaded DSD to hide under the covers (we were still in bed), more specifically under his bent knees, and waited until she could hear the others in the room and had to keep quiet before letting rip. Bless her she managed to keep quiet for a few seconds before she let out a whimper and gave herself away

My FIL used to sit on the sofa with his legs up to the side of him and get the boys to sit in the crook of his knees before farting on them. Seriously.
30 years on my 2 year old DD thinks it is hilarious when she or daddy farts.
Neither of them have ever heard me fart.

A lot of people think that older folk are disgusting for doing this but the fact is that as many people age they are no longer able to control their muscles and it comes out anyway. Often to their acute embarrassment.The forest would be very silent if no birds sang except for the birds that sang the best0

Does anybody do 'cupcake'?
I don't but I've heard of people, usually adolescent boys who do! 0
