How long before acceptable to fart in front of partner?

trolleyrun

During coitus would be a bit off-putting but otherwise it's pretty funny. Due to my ibs I am rarely able to fart unless I'm on the loo as I don't trust that it's not a shart. The few times I do manage I do a happy dance and have a giggle

I think if you respect other people enough not to do it in front of them, why not give the person you love that same respecect?

I am having a colonoscopy soon, I asked for advice and got lots of useful tips but apparently I am going to be farting for England afterwards. I don't know if my husband will be amused or not, he will probably be more interested in the results, at least I hope he will.

It's not about disrespecting someone IMO, it's about being comfortable enough in their prescence that things like that shouldn't matter.

Going by your theory, me and my husband must have no respect for each other what so ever!

We had sprouts, mange tout and baby sweet corn with our meal last night, and it reckon if someone had struck a match in the vicinity, then the whole row might have gone up in flames! :rotfl:

Each to their own, I feel differently. There are some things I think should be private. My son and his partner go to the toilet in front of each other, we would never do that, nor would I allow my son in the bathroom with me when he was small.

I also know many people don't feel it necessary to say 'please' and thankyou' to their partners, that is also their choice, but we always have done, just the way we are.

I don't mind having a wee in front of a boyfriend or partner, I have done it in the past, especially if there's only one toilet in the house and it's in the bathroom.

I do draw the line at number 2s or farting, though. Smelly and disgusting!

I accidentally dropped one while I was taking a photo of Hever Castle once. The woman behind said "pardon", so I said "Not you as well!".

When we decided to marry, many years ago we wanted to marry in the catholic church, my husband at that time was a regular churchgoer, I was coe and lapsed many moons previously.
This meant we had to go for lessons led by the priest. He actually asked us if we were on farting terms.
We were and still are.

Now THAT is funny!

I respect your views SDW, and of course you are entitled to them... But I don't think it's fair for you to say that anyone who farts in front of their partner has no respect for them. That's a bit rude, a huge sweeping generalisation, and also very wrong.

Breaking wind is natural. People can't help doing it; it's a basic function of any living creature. I mean what do you do if you need to fart? Go outside? How embarrassing is THAT? 'Oh I'm just popping out for a fart!' :rotfl:

I don't think it's very nice to sit there farting constantly in front of your partner, and wafting it across to them! But surely the odd one popping out now and again is harmless and understandable.

I normally agree with your points of view, but I am not with you at all on this. Breaking wind is natural, and as I said earlier, you may as well say it's wrong to hiccup or sneeze or even breathe in front of your partner too.

Yes constantly rattling them off all the time is not nice, (and I doubt many people do this.) But there is no harm or 'disrespect' in farting several times a day in front of your partner. Imagine what pain and discomfort we'd all be in, if we all held it in?

I remember a girl who used to be friends with my daughter, and she was told she was not allowed to pass wind in front of people - from either end. She was also not allowed out any later than 5pm, (and never on a school day,) she was told sex was disgusting, (and living together without being married. and having babies out of wedlock is wrong,) and she was not allowed chocolate or sweets, or a mobile phone or access to the internet. Her mother was mega strict.

As soon as she hit 18, she went to university to a town 300 miles away, and halfway through her degree, she got pregnant by a boy she had been with for six months. They're now living together with the baby, she has abandoned her degree, and she rarely comes home because of the stuffy upbringing. She is also about 5 stone overweight, because she eats junk food all the time now, because she was denied it all through her childhood.

I think to teach anyone that things that come natural are bad, is just wrong. And so is depriving people of things that are perfectly OK and acceptable. This girls's mother has found this out to her cost. She now has a 21 year old daughter who rarely comes home, has shacked up with her boyfriend 300 miles away, and has just had a baby by him!

I know I've gone of the subject matter a bit, but I'm just trying to demonstrate that it can backfire if you teach someone that things are wrong, when they are perfectly harmless and acceptable.

As I said, constant farting is a bit much, but to imply that you have no respect for your partner if you fart in front of them is very unfair.

Firmly in the never camp here for both of us. Of course, it'll happen accidentally from time to time but neither of us would ever do it intentionally.
One of the most gentlemanly things I've ever witnessed (although he didn't know I had) was my partner covering up the noise of an elderly lady farting loudly in a supermarket by randomly bursting into song.

As for the notion that it must make us prudish- not remotely. We're happy naked in each others company and share baths/showers when the opportunity presents. Neither of us feels the need to share the less pleasant bits.
