Farts

[rose-may2000.livejournal.com]

Ok so while veering a little off topic, this still has to do with the human body and I felt a lot better after talking about it with my mom. I figured hey why not here. So today I farted for the first time in front of my bf. Hugely embarresing.Thank god it was not while we were having sex. I blame my farting on my family who seems to do this more than normal.
Anyway my mom actually remembers the first time she farted in front of my dad. She said they were having a popcorn fight and he picked her up and squeezed her to hard lol and so she kinda farted on him. Now this is 30 years ago and she still remembers it.

Does anyone else have any stories they'd like to share. Maybe make me feel not so alone.




Thanks so much everyone. Next time it happens , Im just gonna shrug it off and laugh.

I fart during sex all the time. We just laugh and keep going. My bf farts sometimes too, but not nearly as often as I do. I queef a lot during sex too. It doesn't faze me anymore. It was pretty embarrassing the first time though. *hugs*

[nyxieflower.livejournal.com]

Hahahah, I queef a lot too. Just have to laugh it off :P

No stories specifically, but as a veg-head, it's a problem for me. I take pineapple enzymes, which realllly help!

Also, this reminds me of an episode of sex and the city.

Yes! I was thinkging of SATC too as I was commenting. I can't imagine being so silly as to not going number 2 while staying at the guy's place. So goofy!!

HA! If farting in front of your boyfriend is a big deal I guess I'm sunk, because I do it all the time! We're both just like "Oh, excuse me" and we move on.

I remember hearing a story from one girl whose boyfriend was totally convinced that girls never fart. Like only guys could physically do it. That made me laugh.

[thebootyfaerie.livejournal.com]

Haha, I generally will have farted in front of someone before we even get to the dating stage.

I can't help it; they just happen. I can't date someone who's not comfortable with bodies, so they have to be comfortable with farts, too.

(I mean, obviously, teasing is totally okay as long as I can tease them back when they fart at inopportune moments!)

[pure-vegasgirl.livejournal.com]

I dont fart in front of him yet! Im sure I will get comfortable one of these days to just do it! He does all the time!

I queef alot and the first time he laughed...

[missedstoplight.livejournal.com]

My boyfriend and I both have IBS so we're pretty used of each other's farts, and BMs. Haha.

He says mine are cute, though... which doesn't make me feel much better about it at all.

I guess I don't understand the embarrassment over farting in front of your SO. My husband and I fart in front of each other all the time (and pretty much since we started dating). We make fun of it. Haha. I guess I figure a boyfriend should be someone I'm comfortable being me around, and if part of me is farting, then so be it. His family has all sorts of farting stories. Haha, it makes me feel part of the family!

[ticklemepiink.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't remember the first time I farted in front of the ex, but by the end of our relationship we were dutch ovening each other, bahahaha. As for my current bf... I have yet to fart in front of him but it's coming soon, I'm sure. I warned him that I'm doing a fiber cleanse this week, bahahahahahaha.

[mainie.livejournal.com]

yeah i was going to say what everyone else says, my boyfriend and i fart in front of each other all the time. we only get mad if the other does it under the blankets when we're in bed! but then we just get each other back with more farts haha. i know it can be embarrassing at first though..and i still won't fart in front of mostly anyone else. but it's impossible to live with someone and never fart in front of them.

[saharazaad.livejournal.com]

My boyfriend always tells me that I fart in my sleep, if that's any consolation...

[literarygirl.livejournal.com]

I fart during sex a lot. G-spot stimulation just makes me lose all control. I tell him it's his fault, he's that good in bed. :-D

When I was first dating my husband, I needed total privacy for bowel movements. Together almost five years now, I couldn't care less that he's in the room with me.

[abalone99.livejournal.com]

Yeah, count me in the "we fart on/around each other all time and find it funny and humorous or don't give a damn" club.

And I TOO seem to fart when I'm really stimulated in my G-spot! So cool that someone else finds the same thing happens! It's true - it's like a seriously can't control it!

[queensugar.livejournal.com]

Ahaha. Don't worry, the first one is embarassing but.. then you get over it. With both my husband and my ex, we fart and even poop in front of each other. Sometimes we fart on each other's faces, because it's funny. Once you break the ice, it gets better.

After almost two years of dating, I still haven't farted in front of my boyfriend. Well, he tells me I've done it in my sleep, but I swear, I could make a diamond up in there. I have no idea why, I have very few hangups otherwise. It's ridiculous though, I should just get it over with. I actually go out on his balcony at his apartment to let one go. He KNOWS why I'm going out there, I'm just totally redonk.

[aeryn.livejournal.com]

LOL I'm the same way. I feel like I'm a pro at holding them in. The real test is trying to walk while holding one, without looking like you have a fork up your ass!

Oh that reminds me. One time I was at my friends house and we were just sitting and watching TV (on separate couches actually). I have been holding in my farts for hours and it got to the point where so much air was trapped that it HURT. Like my whole abdomen. I finally told him it was getting late and I had to go. On my way to my car, I felt another fart and let it go. OMG I felt so much better!!!!

[http://users.livejournal.com/__microphones/]

my boyfriend farts by accident. it's okay, it's not like he could have controlled it.

my family is really gassy, too. much more than a normal family should be so i'm worried i might be as gassy as they are.

[kacieka.livejournal.com]

I can't say farts really bother me. I tend to take advantage of them, really. *gigglesnort*

For example, when my husband and I first started dating. He made the mistake of letting me eating two enchilada's. Two. Enchilada's. I ended up having severe gas.

Long story short, I sat on his lap and ended up chasing him around the house with my stinky gas, until we both ended up outside gagging and laughing.

*shrug* It makes for a good story to tell the kids later on down the line...*LOL*

I don't remember farting in front of my partner for the first time, but I remember he farted in front of me first. We were on holiday (our first proper date was a 3-day trip to Italy) and I really made him laugh and he let out this little fart. I could see he was mortified, so I didn't say anything at the time, but a few weeks later I said I'd heard and it was a 'cute, little tooty one'. We've called them 'toots' ever since. I'm lactose intolerant, so I'm pretty bad at times and he just lets rip whenever now.

We like a pair of 12 year olds sometimes, when our son was newborn he farted all the time and we thought it was hilarious, especially when he'd lift his leg to do it, make adult-sounding ones then give a contented little sigh. He still guffs like a little champ and he's 16 months now, finds farts funny and tries to copy people burping!

The only thing my partner's not done in front of me is pooping, but I did during labour, so he's seen/heard/smelled it all from me now, lol!

[a-tiny-goat.livejournal.com]

I have not farted in front of my boyfriend ever (unless perhaps while sleeping?) and he has never mentioned it.

When we first started dating about three years ago, he had mentioned that he does not ever want to be gross with me. I feel the same way and he knows it.

Its not that either of us are embarrassed about our bodily functions or lacking a sense of humor. There's just no need to be gross in front of one another. To me it seems kind of disrespectful.

If we were to accidentally let one rin in front of one another, I'm sure we'd laugh about it, but its not something I plan on doing even after I'm married.

Growing up, my family would practically have farting competitions, and it grossed me out. I just don't see the appeal in it.

[xhabitualshine.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm allergic to eggs. I get a massive stomach ache, diarhea, and I fart really big, really smelly, god it's horrible to be around me.

It's seventh grade and we're in our little classrooms and it's silent because we're taking this huge test (of course)and I've been doing pretty good holding them in and then one gets past me and PUUUUURP. You should have seen the eyes of all the guys around me. I thought my face was going to burst into flames I was blushing so bad. And the faces when they smelt it...luckily they only vaguely remember this, after four years.

This reminds me of that episode of Roseanne...Becky gives a speech and farts.

[archangelbeth]

"Gassies" that happen in the bed are not acknowledged. They didn't happen. Moving a little so that one is not doing it directly upon one's cuddling partner is polite, but not always possible. >_>

[poppleshatesyou.livejournal.com]

I probably fart in front of/in the same room as my SO at least once a day, and he definitely farts in front of me more then that! and it's always been this way. It's so not a big deal to either of us. We are both in the frame of mind that farts happen, just like the need to take a poop, a piss, or to eat food..which starts the cycle all over again. ya know? Haha, usually if we think it's going to be a particularly bad one, we'll run to the other room to spare ourselves from the stank. haha. Or it's like, "oh god, don't point it in my direction!" haha. Honestly holding it in and continuing to perpetuate the silly idea that women don't fart or take big smell nasty shits too, seems like a much more unpleasant idea to me. Farting can be the best thing ever, really, and not anything to be embarrassed about. *big hugs* Don't worry, you are definitely not the only farter, not by a long shot.

"Honestly holding it in and continuing to perpetuate the silly idea that women don't fart or take big smell nasty shits too, seems like a much more unpleasant idea to me." I agree with you on that!

[ibfailure.livejournal.com]

I fart in my sleep sometimes.

It's embarrassing when I spend the night at my SO's house. Even more embarrassing when he brings it up and makes fun of me for it lol. Whatever, I can't be held responsible for anything I do while I'm unconscious. I spend the whole day holding in farts (I'm one of those girls who are terrified of farting in public and pooping in public restrooms), so I guess my body decides to expel them when I'm asleep.

me too!!

[hmmm-indeed.livejournal.com]

My SO tells me i fart in my sleep.... i was MORTIFIED when he first told me but he thought it was hilarious and cute (how?!!).

The worst part? I once fell asleep while we were watching a movie and WOKE MYSELF UP with a little fart. If people can die of embarassment, i would no longer be here to tell this story.

But i told myself to get over it and sometimes it works.

[lozoodle.livejournal.com]

LOL I always fart in bed then fan it in my boyfriend's direction with the doona!

But then again after 4 years together, two of which we have been living together, all romance and embarrassment goes out of the window.

[phrassie.livejournal.com]

This isn't related to farting directly but I'll share my most embarrassing relationship moment was when I took my then boyfriend (now husband) to meet my parents for the first time. My parents are...ummm...not your normal parents. They fart, they make disgusting jokes, they laugh about the most inappropriate things...

Anyhow, the whole drive (it took about 3 hours to get to their house) I was telling my hubby about how different my parents are. "They're nice," I said, "very nice and lots of fun...just...well, not anything like your parents." My hubby kept saying that he didn't understand what I was talking about and I just kept saying, "Oh, you will!"

When we arrived at their house everything appeared normal. My mom had cooked dinner and we all sat down around the table to eat after introductions. Then my dad started giggling. I asked what was so funny and dad told my mom to "Show them the pictures."

Turns out my mom had a colonoscopy (where they knock you out and take pictures of your colon to make sure everything is healthy) on St. Patricks Day (which was about a week prior to our visit) and she works at the hospital so she knows all the doctors and seeing as it was a holiday she plastered her butt with shamrock stickers...and so the doctors took pictures of the inside (routine) and outside (not routine) of her bum...and she showed the pictures to my new boyfriend MINUTES after meeting him while we were eating dinner.

I was mortified but luckily my hubby took it in stride and it has just turned into another "Your crazy parents" story. After that farting in front of eachother was no big deal ;-)

[rose-may2000.livejournal.com]

haha wow

i will say that i usually tell my family to try to keep it together. At least for the first visit. They however see it as a sort of initiation. If he can handle them then hes a keeper

[aeryn.livejournal.com]

When I was with my ex, we were laying in bed under the covers and he let one RIP. It stunk so bad I cannot even tell you. He had some teriyaki stuff for dinner and so ever since then I called them teriyaki farts.

I had to get up and grab an air freshener spray from the closet and cover him in a cloud.

I don't know if I really farted around him. Sometimes mine can be super rancid and that's embarrassing!!!!
