How long before acceptable to fart in front of partner?

How is it nonsense? Surely it's showing a lack of respect to do something which you know your partner hates.

I don't like people farting around me so my boyfriend respects that and tries not to let rip while we're sitting watching telly.

He doesn't like the sound of people filing their nails so I respect that and will go to another room to give myself a manicure.

Like I said, I despair for humanity.

Imagine having a relationship where you can't fart in front of your partner??

Dear dear me....

I actually pity these people...

I think it depends.. there are some things which are unpleasant and undignified (being sick, having diarrhoea, etc) but they can't be helped. Farting by accident can't be helped.

But to deliberately let rip and then go ha ha ha I just farted is a bit ladette. Burping too. Some knuckledragger types might find it funny, but personally I think it's gross, as do a lot of people on this thread.

Some people find it disrespectful and if they do, then it shouldn't be done.

In answer to a question posted above, I have seen my husband pee, and he has seen me pee, but they have been situations where it has been unavoidable, I would not expect us to do it in front of each other unless there was no choice.The same as I would not expect him to belch loudly without trying to be discreet about it.

There is such a thing as good manners and why should we not exercise them with the person we love most?

I do not find belching and farting funny and whilst both are natural functions, I do not see why we should inflict them upon other people unless there is no choice.

Farting in front of each other reminds me of 'the slobs' from harry Enfield / paul Whitehouse

Yes, that is the image that springs to mind for me too .:rotfl:

I'm just jealous about some people's digestions. Do you never have really gassy days?

Yes of course but you can still usually be discreet and move out of the room before you let off.

Even when my husband's IBS is playing up he normally manages to perform his bodily functions privately (and apologises to me if he is unable to).

We were laying in bed together after some naughty time last night and she jokingly said "Are you going to be farting in your sleep tonight?" and if by some miracle she coughed and let one out herself! She blamed it on the left over lube, but we both know it was a windy pop.

I'm trying to get my head around how you can discreetly belch loudly. It seems to be a contradiction.
