Why don't you just change your tampon in front of him, too?

I farted on accident in front of my SO once, and I was mortified.
Do you tell your kids its okay to fart in front of people or to let one rip?

Oh, I do that too. In addition to farting, I had a terribly painful recovery from my c-section. I could not even bend to change my disgusting bloody diaper/pad, my wonderful husband changed that and cleaned me up. My DH is also a volenteer EMT, so he has seen and done it all, he is not grossed out by the human condition. We also have a very experimental and open sex life and I think that has a lot to do with the fact that we are not hung up on our bodies.

And YES of COURSE I tell my kids to let out their farts!!! Good grief, who would want such a stomach ache??? It is extremely uncomfortable to hold a fart in all day.

Being mortified with farting is a cultural hang up. There are pleanty of cultures where farting is as normal and natural as breathing.

so is dogfighting, and we send people to jail over that here. this is the culture we have. don't fart in front of me, thanks.

yes, i would change a tampon in front of my DH. i mean, he's seen a baby come out of my vagina for godsake (and god knows what else come out of all orifices during the labor)!

My DH farts very freely and often in front of me and even his best friend. His best friend will actually send him to the bathroom if it gets out of control. I generally don't care unless is smells really bad and we're in bed. But even if I send him to the bathroom I know anther one is coming soon so I can't expect him to be running back and forth all night long. He pees and poops with the door open and I don't mind seeing him but the smell really gets to me sometimes. I close the door mostly because it's the 5-7 minutes I have to myself with no one bothering me . I do burp in front of him and even if he cared I wouldn't stop since he is doing it as well. No double standard in my house!

DH told me he finds my farting in front of him to be unladylike. He has no problem with him farting around me. I told him if that's the case, I find giving blowjobs to be unladylike.

We always poop in private, but as one PP said, if we need to go in the bathroom when the other is doing #2, we go in and out quickly. Pee we're whatever about, and farting I prefer that DH goes in another room because his are just THAT smelly. I do the same when I know mine are going to be smelly.

Mine do not stink. In fact, they are of the utmost fragrance. I'm thinking of bottling them and send them to France for sale in a fine perfumerie. Of course, I am in fact the only one who can say this. Claim what you will.

After baby number two, I don't have enough control to not fart in front of him, or anyone else for that matter.

was this when you took the stick out of your ass?

I don't teach my kids that it's okay to fart in front of people on pupose but c'mon--I don't want them to be mortified if they fart by accident.
My DH and I usually close the bathroom door, but we occasionally pee in front of each other and could care less. I don't want to see him poop and I shoo him out of the bathroom when I'm doing it--I want that to remain private. Farting...well, we're pretty open about it (more so now than when we first dated, obviously). I grew up with two older brothers so it doesn't phase me...though I like to be warned if I'm right next to him. We're probably more relaxed about this stuff than most, though.

Why keep the "romance alive" by hiding who you are from your life parter? If you want a long lasting marriage, you have to wake up and smell the roses. Or your partner's fart. You should be one and be able to act as such. You don't get embarrassed if you fart by yourself, it should be the same with your spouse there. If you are gonna live long lives together, chances are, you are gonna have stomach bug, food poisoning... And what do you do then? Hide from your best friend and the person who is supposed to be there for you through good and bad times? When you are 80 and one of you loses the ability to control bodily functions, is the other one gonna be there to help? Or you are just going to hire someone to do it because it's ok for a stranger to see it? Some people have a very idealistic and fragile view of what a marriage should be. You are not only in it to be each other's sex partners and housemates. You are in it to be each other's everything. And everything includes pee, poop, farts and bad breath in the morning.

People, there is a biological reason we're put off by the smell of feces. It contains potentially harmful bacteria. Not wanting to "share the shit" does not lessen your marriage. Unless you're interested in abandoning all cultural norms of privacy, it is by no means a symptom of a bad marriage if you keep a few things, like your waste products, to yourself.

LOL. No shit (pun intended)

And yet we have a concurrent thread on the sex forum on the joys of licking your spouse's asshole.

this describe's us EXACTLY.

Same here. What's the big deal? Everyone does it. Although I always tell my husband that my farts smell like roses and I poop pink unicorns. )
