Where do you go to fart?

Asked by LornaLove (10037points) November 9th, 2013

Inspired party by an earlier question, but also a question I would like some advice on!

When you are in a relationship and need to fart badly what do you do? Do you run from the room and fart, do you ask him or her to run for their life instead since you are lazy? Or, do you just let rip?

What does your partner do? Is your partner a farter at all?

What if it is a particularly windy evening? Please do share and share any tips or thoughts! As well as good and bad experiences.

I like to run down to the elevator in my building, and rip a good long one then flee.

As I have mentioned before, my wife is deaf, and has no sense of smell.
When we are in bed, if she doesn’t feel the vibration, she doesn’t know.
Once we were sitting in the car, and I was driving. She had her hand on my leg. I passed gas, and she asked if my phone was ringing.

@filmfann I was sitting here a little drowsy, fighting it because it’s too early to go to bed. Your little story woke me right up.

Thanks for telling it….

Haha….you guys…too much. lol

I’m a lady, mine don’t “rip” and when they do, I pretend they don’t. haha
I have lived alone on rural properties for 10 years, when it happens it happens, might startle a deer now and then. lol

I’ve always heard that you should never wake a sleepwalker, or fart-startle a deer…

We fart in front of each other, it’s not an issue. I don’t really get how other couples do it when they have so many hang ups about body stuff and what’s ‘keeping the mystery’ and all that bs.

OneBadApple's avatar

I’m guessing with a beautiful name like yours that your farts don’t even stink, am I right ?

….....I’m right, aren’t I ??

My husband and I both “let it rip” wherever we are. (at home that is). Although we often warn each other first.

OneBadApple's avatar

If you don’t mind my asking, what are the warnings like ?

“Batten-down the hatches, captain !!” ?

“Incoming !!” ??

I am missing a large part of my digestive tract, so nothing in this arena is normal for me. I have quite a few bowel movements a day, and they’re abnormally noisy, and I live in an apartment with very thin walls.

I’ve just come to accept that folks are gonna hear me. It’s way too stressful to play the sneaking around game four times per day. I live with good people, who all know what my situation is, and they’re not about to abandon me over my gas. It took a long time to reach this relaxed plane, though. I used to go to great lengths to hide it.

@OneBadApple Well for me it’s often just “fart coming”. My husband often does silly gestures like “pull my finger”. Sometimes though we will go in another room and blast one if we think it will be really bad.

I’ve been with my husband for a little over six years, we’ve been living together for 3, and I can honestly say I’ve never had to fart so bad that I had to get up and go somewhere else to do it. If he has, I’ve never noticed.

We don’t just let them rip in front of each other and we don’t attempt to make it humorous. The fart humor must be over my head; I don’t get why it’s funny. We choose not to shit with the door open as well. I prefer some things to remain in the bathroom.

I think it’s ridiculous for people to assume couples aren’t “close” enough because they don’t fart and burp and shit around each other. As if we are trying to hide the fact that our bodies do these things naturally. And as if farting brings couples closer together.

Home is where the fart is.

Good one, @ucme.

Elephants don’t merely fart. They detonate like supernovas. As to where… anywhere.

Whenever, wherever. It’s a non-issue.

My husband and I strive to be considerate of one another, but who cares if someone lets ‘er rip accidentally? If a gastroid must land on earth, so be it. The vows said “For better or for worse”....Passing gas is a natural part of the human digestive process. What are ya gonna do?

When around strangers, does it really matter? When around friends, well, if they’re true friends, they’ll understand.

Its the dogs that singe our noses. Good grief, what goes on in the little tummies of those cutie pies? They put us to shame until we got their food exactly right for each of them.

@Adirondackwannabe That’s called a Cincinnati Air Freshener…

When I was last in a relationship and I had to…uh…rip ass…I would hold it or wait until I was alone in my room or something. I think the ability to do it around one’s partner is something that comes with more time and more familiarity and it happens gradually. I don’t think the relationship was long enough for that to happen yet :P

OpryLeigh's avatar

After over 7 years with my partner I still can’t bring myself to fart in front of him!! It’s happened accidentally on the odd occasion which he finds hilarious but if it’s in my control I just go to the bathroom if I need to fart. I have never been a relaxed farter, I can’t think of a single person in my life that I’m happy to just let rip in front if! My partner is polite and tries to be discreet but he’s not as mortified as I am about it.

This question comes up every so often and I always love it. Discussing farts is always amusing and, despite my disgust in doing it myself, I find it very amusing when other people do it!

ibstubro's avatar

I’m this close . to just just letting it rip, regardless. What would it hurt?

Coloma's avatar

@ibstubro Go for it, I bet your stench can’t reach California so I’m safe. lol

OneBadApple's avatar

Wait, WAIT…..let me light a match first…........

OK, go ahead….

ibstubro's avatar

@Coloma Oh, hell no. I don’t think I could conjure a fart the would pass the Arizona border.

ibstubro's avatar

OH, CRAP! SORRY @OneBadApple, A MATCH COULD BE NUCLEAR!

OneBadApple's avatar

Well…..I could really use the rest…..
