Pooping and farting - question
Replies
-
I have lived with my husband for more than 30 years and we have never ever been in the bathroom at the same time as each other. We take turns. I would try never to fart around anyone if I could help it. Are there not some things that should be kept private? Or am i just very oldfashioned and prudish?
No its called being considerate of others. My husband and I only ever shared a bathroom when we only had one and it was an emergency and he was soaking in the tub. Hubby has a bad back and would soak for hours in a hot tub. Imagine being pregnant and having to go and there is only one bathroom? I did however make him clothes the shower curtain. I can't go while someone is watching. Not even when my girlfriends would all pile into the bathroom and stand around talking while one was on the toilet. Never could do that. Now that we have 2 bathrooms I've never had to bust in on hubby to use the toilet.0 -
My husband and I rate our farts and burps on a scale of one to ten. He has had to change my tampons when I was so sick I could not. We have pooped in front of one another. Not a big deal. Has not killed the attraction one bit.0

My husband watched me give birth to 2 children. I'll fart and poop in front of him if I feel like it. It isn't any worse than what he has already seen.0

I'm amazed how many people on here have been with their partners for so long and never shared a bodily function experience! To me, that just seems... uptight.
The mystery was broken between my husband and myself when we were just dating. It was one of the first times he stayed over at my place and I rolled over in my sleep and farted so loudly I woke myself up and actually slapped my rear end in surprise. All I heard was him giggling quietly. It was true love.0 -
I've been dating my boyfriendfor 7 years, and I've never farted in front of him--only when I'm sleeping and he tells me about it the next day! He doesn't care though. If I have to poop, I will tell him I have to...he never makes a big deal out of it, he just stares at me like I'm kidding hahaha.
7 years and you've never farted in front of him? That is... odd.
No it isnt
My hubby and I have been married ten years and we do not fart in front of each other either. I think it keeps your relationship "fresh" :-) to still try. If you start pooping and farting in front of each other you may as well be brother and sister. Kills the attraction.
Gess do you still wake up before your husband to rush and get your makeup on before he sees you?
No way, just pooping and farting gross me out and no matter how much all of you glorify it im never gonna be down for thinking its a nice thing we should enjoy doing together. And before you all start with the its natrural blah blah blah its impolite and thats it! Didnt anyone parents teach them that?? Am I on another planet?!0 -
Nope, never going to happen UNLESS it's an emergency or childbirth.
This is not something I feel is necessary for intimacy and I appreciate my personal space too much to invite anyone into the bathroom with me. If my partner were to let one rip on occasion, I wouldn't hold it against him. But, if it was a constant thing I'd be so turned off it would end rather quickly.

Agreed!!!!!!!!0 -
As long as the two acts are kept separate, I'm okay with it. Sharting is another issue altogether.
You win, I just cried laughing. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
My hubby says " men fart or step on frogs and women have fluffs LOL After 20 year of marriage to my best friend its not a big deal. Long as I don't flush the toilet while he is in shower. LOL
Have a great day everyone!0 -
My husband and I have dutch oven contests. We regularly have conversations while one of us is going to the bathroom.
He witnessed the birth of our child. I think at this point, anything is on the table.
My husband and I do the same thing! Lmao.0 -
nobody's allowed in the bathroom when i'm there dropping a deuce.
funny thing about the farts though... i let em rip whenever i feel like it and don't even apologize.... unless the fan happens to be blowing it towards my husband, but then i'm cracking up at the same time... my husband on the other hand will NOT fart in front of me, and seems to only do it in the bathroom, unless he's asleep. doesn't something seem backwards about this?!0 -

No, you're not. My parents raised me the same way - it would be considered impolite and unladylike.0 -
I have NEVER done that stuff in front of my boyfriend, but we have only been together a few months.
How long do you have to be together before feeling comfortable enough to do that stuff in front of each other? haha
Probably about the time you realize you fart on them in your sleep all the time anyway. lol0 -
This is very interesting.....I am stunned by the casual attitude of these women - really. I'm glad to know that it seems to be ok :indifferent: My sister does not fart in front of anyone. She does not eat raisins because they cause farts.....:indifferent:0

Apparently! I'm kind of shocked. To each his/her own I guess but, for me, just...no....:noway:0 -

That is what I'm most afraid of! Thats why I havent slept over his house yet lol0 -
Define 'around you'. If it was in the middle of the living room I might take objection. If she literally waddled around me encircling me in a ring of excrement then words would probably be exchanged.
LOL0 -
I have stage fright, can't poop with him in the bathroom at the same time. I don't have a problem peeing say if he is in the shower or vise versa...but not pooping. Farting no way can't do that in front of him either, I'll go use the bathroom to let one out. He doesn't want to do that in front of me...maybe cause we are too new of a couple. In time that might change.0

Farting is OK, setting light to your farts in front of your wife and Mother in law is (apparently....) not OK.0

I have no problem farting around my husband, sometime I'd tell him I need to fart and walk away to the other room. But, he always gets a warning....it's up to him if he wants to stick around and take in the sent. Pooping in front of him, well that's different...my poop gets shy, and I really need to focus ha ha ha0

No, you're not. My parents raised me the same way - it would be considered impolite and unladylike.
Unfortunately women are often raised to restrain themselves to the point of pain and/or injury for the sake of being "ladylike". I cannot count the number of times I spent hours in pain and misery rather than pass gas in front of other people in situations where I couldn't get away to do so.
With age came the realization that inflicting pain on myself for the sake of other people's perceptions was not ladylike, it was abusive and unhealthy.0 -
There are a few things in this world a person should have sanctuary and solitude for. One of those things is pooping. (Until you have kids, then all bets are off).
Couldn't agree more. My kids are in their teens and for some reason still like to talk to me through the door. "do you mind? I'm taking a sh! T" works for a few weeks. Any man who pulls that dutch oven thing or purposely farts on my face ( a friend's ex did) is getting kicked to the curb. Thankfully I'm not a gaseous person unless the food is really bad. Funny, when my husband or I are super gaseous, I sleep on the comfortable couch. Sorry, not my thing to be gassed in bed0 -

Hold on, pooping is impolite? Nope, I missed that lesson. Listen, I don't think anyone is advocating firing crap nuggets at each other like we are monkeys (that is a My Fecal Pal, totally different website). But, there is no reason to go completely out of your way hiding it. No one is asking you to fart so much you are scooting around your house like you are on a hoverboard, but they are natural body functions and teaching they are wrong or impolite is a lttle extreme. Again, perhaps my tolerance is skewed by the fact that I have cleaned more poop out of tiny vaginas in the last 3 years then I care to remember.......0 -
My son's girlfriend sits outside the door and talks to him while he's pooping. I think it's true love.

oh my...i live with 4 men...3 boys, hubby, and if you count the dog that would make 5.....poop and fart happen all the time...i will admit i am very immature when it comes to someone farting...i cant help it...i laugh.....really stinks when it happens in church(no pun intended) and someone does it out loud...i usually have to walk out because i cant control my laughter.....(i say this to my shame because i wish i didnt find it sooo funny and the poor person that did it is soooo embarrassed)0

Yup the planet of Denial or is it uptight?. My parents always passed gas around the house. Mom just blamed it on the dog and we would all crack up laughing.0 -

OMG this got me cracking up. I saw a show called 1000 ways to die and this guy put a cig in the toilet after he had just passed a big one and it blew up killing him. Sorry but I find that too funny. My kids always joke about it since seeing that episode.0 -
Pooping and farting was a way too common thing in my (now ended) marriage. I felt like less of a female and more like one of the guys on the ship. I don't want to hear about poops coming out sideways, I don't want to hear about it swirling around the bowl, I don't want to hear about it being so long it came out of the water, I don't want to hear about "peeing out of your butt". I really really really don't. I don't want my kids to be farted on, I don't think farting is funny, I don't want it waved at me.
To me, all of that stuff is rude. To subject me to that WITHOUT MY CONSENT, and AGAINST MY REQUEST, tells me I am not respected. To each their own, and that's not me.
In my current (awesome) relationship, we say we have to use the bathroom. I'll say I'm bloated, he'll say he's uncomfortable. That's that. We limit our flatulence to the bathroom to the best of our ability, and don't say anything otherwise.
It's a pleasant, respectful give and take.
As for that TOM? I let him know when it's about my time so it's not a surprise. He'll ask if I have enough protection if we're going on a long trip, but in a caring way so I don't feel weird.0 -

Meh. I've never really been in a situation where I couldn't excuse myself to somewhere more private.0 -
Funniest / most embarrassing thing ever happened to my husband was when we were moving x country.
We have two boys (there's a LOT of poop/fart talk in our house).
We were at a hotel and they were having a fart war. Luckily for me they held it off from happening in the car.
My husband was all..... OH YEAH, take THIS. Stuck his *kitten* out and sharted at them. Without meaning too. Still cracks me up, six years later.
Now he says it was payback cause the oldest shat all over him a week after being born. That was pretty funny too.
Farts make me laugh. Even when the dog does it. Can't help it -- must have been a guy in a past life. ;-)0
