your gross amelia!! lol.
I’m kidding, but I still haven’t farted in front of a bf before, maybe a silent one accidentally, but I just couldn’t do it. In front of my brother I do! I always call him and say, come quick!, its urgent, and just fart. Or the old pull my finger trick, but I’ve never done it in front if a bf, not even the one I was with for 4 yrs.

If I have to fart I try to make it discreet. But I remember once while we were watching tv he had fallen asleep, so I tooted and the smell woke him up. Months later I still haven’t lived it down. He farts openly in front of me.. sometimes so loud and sudden it makes me jump.

I don’t fart in front of anyone if I can help it, let alone a boyfriend. Silent ones sometimes happen, but for serious farts? Hell no.

My boyfriend fart in front of me ALL THE TIME. But i never ever do in front of him. Mainly because I feel uncomfortable, like what if it’s a smelly one? But also because he still thinks women don’t fart. He says we burp a alot and thats how we let out our air. He doesn’t believe it himself, trust me, but it helps him get the image out of his head.

The first time he farted, I farted shortly after. And we got into a farting contest. His only rule is to, “not get it on the blanket.”

It’s grown into every time we fart we sheepishly say, “I pooped.”

It’s childish, but with him, it’s nice to have a warning so I can put a hand over my nose.

Be real, everyone does it. If you’re living together what are you going to do? Hold it til you float away like a hot air balloon?
The farting contests? Thats a little juvenile though. Well maybe moreso fratboy behavior.

I have IBS and when I have to, then I have to, there’s no holding it in.  I do all the probiotics and antibiotics and pills and diet restrictions, but sometimes it just doesn’t help.  If my bf can’t accept that then I don’t need him.  My current bf doesn’t mind most of the time.

And now I feel really bad after reading this article and comments.  Can’t we all just get over the lady-like #&@$% and accept that if our bf does it why can’t we?  I thought everyone realized that girls DO poop.

I’ve never in front of my husband, and we’ve been together (including dating) for 20+ years.  (My husband has let a few “escape” over the years, but that’s it.)  I’m not a “prim and proper” girl, but I grew up with brothers who tortured me with their farts.  However, my own kids apparently don’t care, and my kindergartner always blames me when he farts.  Big laughs at the dinner table when that happens.

I say it’s going to happen eventually, so why try an hide it?  It’s a waste of time.  I have literally had co-workers who would let one go in the middle of business meeting and nothing happened, they just kept going, it’s human nature, once you are out of your teenage years, it’s just immature to act like like people aren’t suppose to/don’t fart, burp pee, poop or have periods, grow up people! I would not want to date a man who did not realize that I do all of these things, some on a daily basis.

@bethlynn00: Yes, we all know that people do these on a daily basis, but why should others have to deal with the sound or smell of them just because someone “doesn’t care.”  For the most part and barring any medical conditions, adults have enough self-control of their bodily functions that they can 1) hold it in, 2) get to a bathroom or 3) do it in a discreet manner/location.  If someone and their SO enjoy farting on one another, that’s their choice.  But, I think it’s rude for someone not to care or show restraint in where/when they burp/fart/etc.

313 voted completely no? wow.. i think that’s a little ridiculous. im not insinuating it should be perfectly fine whenever you want to, but to be embarrassed if it happens is absurd. And No Sex Station? Please people, get over it. Your sex life should be fine if your boyfriend isnt a complete idiot.

I have colitis so I fart and poop A LOT!! I was really self conscience about it when I was a teenager, but I spent 60% of my time in the bathroom just because I needed to fart. So I got over that! from that point on, I told every guy I would date on the second date: “I fart a lot. If you’re not ok with that, than this isn’t going to work.” All of them were ok with it!
I told my current boyfriend on our first date. I even sang him the songs I make up about farting and poop!
If you can’t laugh at yourself, then what can you laugh at?!

Who the heck are these 410 people that said never ever??? My SO and I have been together over a year.  Said “I love you” many months ago.  And up until one or two months ago we were very respectful and tried to be discreet or excused ourselves.  But now we just let it happen & be sure to acknowledge it.  It doesn’t affect our love life whatsoever.  C’mon, NEVER is just sad when you’re in a real relationship.
