How Far Will You Go?
How comfortable are you with your partner? Do you feel comfortable letting the odd fart escape your ass cheeks? Does burping make you blush?
My colleague at work is still being very careful where she lets one rip. She has now been with her guy for about 5 months and she is still too embarrassed to fart in his company, preferring to run off to a different room and surreptitiously bottom burp. Lol
She was telling me the other day that over the Christmas period she has eaten too much rich food and consumed lots of wine which all conspired to her feeling bloated and full of gas. And rather than being honest about it she kept on running off at inopportune moments to relieve herself.
And please don’t mention going for a poo. This could only be done when she had sent her boyfriend out on a shopping trip or some other wild goose chase.
The thing which made me laugh was when I asked her what he did when he needed to fart was her response, “he just lets one go there and then, no shame in him at all”. 🙂
This scenario made me both laugh and think. When is it acceptable to fart and burp in front of your other half? Is five months long enough for you to be open and honest enough with each other to accept these are perfectly natural human functions.
Or is it that case that “ladies don’t do those kinds of things”.
I know it is nice when a relationship is new not to spoil the air of mystery which surrounds you and your partner. However, believing that someone doesn’t fart is stretching the imagination a little too much.
What the hell does she do when she is menstruating, does she banish him back to his own flat?
When Alex and I were new we were both very careful not to show our rough edges it’s natural to let your loved one see you in a perfect light. But after a while it is just not possible to keep up the pretence and farts have to be released when and where they need an outlet, before you explode.
These days we laugh like school children if one of us farts and Alex has even been known to hold my head under the bedsheets when he drops one. Isn’t love wonderful?
I feel that we can be open and honest and it feels good, whereas my colleague cannot feel totally at ease with her boyfriend and likes him not to stay a couple of days a week so that she can do things he doesn’t know she does…
…naughty! Like self tanning. Lol
As a guy, I find it totally fine when a girl farts. It’s kind of cute and it cuts through the whole “girls are perfect little peas” thing. My current girl and I are comfortable with farts and burps, though they usually bring about a giggle.
I remember back in high school that a friend and I determined that the moment you know it is true love is when you can fart in front of each other. Then all the walls and pretenses are gone, and you can just be yourself.
I can only imagine, too, that the sex is better after you’ve passed that point. I haven’t done a scientific study, but it seems logical: sex is often messy and imperfect and can have embarassing bits in it. If you fear such things, you’ll probably be much less adventurous in bed.
Cheers all.
Oh dear, exactly what about queefs? You can’t control those, does she just skip the sex? Wow.
There are some bodily, yet natural, functions that I don’t like to express in front of anyone. Accidents can happen but they are very much accidental lol
Oh, please don’t ruin my dreams: I’m convinced girls don’t fart nor don’t poo haha
It’s never an easy run with new relationships, but bodily functions can haunt. I’ll never forget my first real adult crush/infatuation, and seeing the person the morning after, farting a symphony from the bathroom to the kitchen, and me thinking ‘eww’, and the timing can be important. This occured to me in the initial stages, but if it happened much later, I would not have cared so much.
I can’t say I’m fond of the intentional fart.
I also remember freaking out at the prospect of giving birth to my son, reading about the possible elimination of poop during labor, and the fact that my partner was in the room at the time (I didn’t, which was a huge relief), but the idea didn’t thrill me, and to this day, I’ve never allowed any partner to walk in on me in the bathroom during number one’s or two’s.
Its only a problem if they decide to light the fart!
Porncrank, I’m sure you are right, it’s far better sex when you can just let yourself go and, well be yourself without pretence. Thanks for your input. 😉
Luna, she tries to hold them in until she is about to burst and then goes off to find somewhere to release them. Lol
Froggy, Ok, girls don’t fart. Lol
Anna, I don’t think she would ever let her bf vernture in to the bathroom when she is on the loo. To be honest I can’t see her ever feeling relaxed enough not to feel pressurised in to having to wear make up 24/7 either.
Mr&mrsb, True! Lol
