Not hiding normal bodily functions from your spouse

I have hot boxed dh in bed before and that was super funny too. But I don't do it often. He still thinks I'm super hot. I close the door when I poop, but not pee.

If you can't hold in a fart though, there's something medically wrong with you. It's not an involuntary function.

You are reallly crude and gross, you know that?

Do you really want your boys to remember their mother doing this?

I seriously dont understand how this is even an issue? Unless you're incontinent, why cant you regulate your bowels? Do you openly pass gas in work and other public settings? Why are people obsessed with this topic on here?

Here’s my problem: how can you stop it? It’s not bowels; it’s gas. Can you control when you pass gas?

Yes, unless there's extraordinary circumstances and then you can excuse yourself to go to a different room or bathroom. Do you pass gas openly in front of your coworkers or in a meeting?

I do my best to conceal it, but frankly, if I got up, it would probably come out. You have exceptional control over your flatulence.

Have you ever pooped your pants?

Yes, when I was a kid.

Don't you understand the situation in which you really need to pass gas and if you get up to do it elsewhere, it'll release itself? That's really not abnormal ...

NP that's super abnormal. I don't think I've ever had a fart come out that I didn't push on purpose.

My aunt used to be like you. She farted EVERYWHERE. It drove us crazy and she farted in dinners, in cars etc for decades. Turns out she had a colony of weird bacteria living in her stomach and they fixed it somehow.

I think this is the definition of a tightass.
Anal retentive?
😂

I'm sorry, but this isn't normal. You need to see a doctor.

Are we just talking about passing gas? I don’t understand the big deal with period sex.

God, I feel bad for some of the kids of the parents on this board. Honestly the PP is seriously disgusting and just gross. Now we know why there are so many damaged kids running around

I think you can be respectful and considerate and balance that against biological reality. So I'm not gonna pretend I don't poop but I'll close the bathroom door and turn on the fan.

"But but but it's NATURAL!" Okay I guess I should just poop on the bed then. I have always found people who fart in a classroom, a meeting, etc. to be extremely inconsiderate people. It should not be hard to hold a fart for an hour at least, and if it is then you need to stop eating a 24/7 diet of fast food and/or see your nearest health practitioner.

There are lots of stuff about people that are natural - getting oily hair, morning breath smell, clogged nostrils, gas. I'm not going to wake up in the morning and sit on my wife's lap while huffing and puffing bad breath into her face, simultaneously rubbing her hand over my greasy head while I blow my nose onto her shirt and fart everywhere. Apparently for some people that's just how they live their life.

Exactly and well said. I'm glad that I have never dated a man that this has come up with, and I have never felt the urge to force him to deal with my unsavory bodily functions. Keep it to yourselves people. Or just go live in a barnyard, which would probably suit you better anyway

im with this mom, read her post, she knows her audience, her boys found it hilarious - and i am pretty sure she knows her toddler son's humor more than you - random stranger trolling on the internet.

Yes being farted on is why so many children in the world are “damaged.”

Indeed I’ve read many horror stories about parents who fart on their kids for so many hours straight they neglect to feed and bathe them, theyre truant from school and miss medical checkups, etc. I doubt they even get to see the outside with all the face farting going on in these families.

this PP must have some REALLY STINKY FARTS to equate being farting on with trauma causing "damaged" children

I think the topic is more concerned with urinating and defecating in front of your spouse without regard for sparing them the experience and whether this is an issue.

Speaking for myself, I try to spare my spouse and fellow family members by closing the door, turning on the fan and taking care of business in private. Passing gas? I try not to fart out loud in front of my spouse and try to be somewhat sly about it. Not always successful though. Around the kids? Whatever... let 'em rip.

I also try not to fart in front of my husband and I'm pretty sure he does the same. Does one slip out once in a while. LOL. Of course. But I'm not lettin her rip all the time!

a lot of you grew up in a household with more bathrooms than ppl and it shows

haha but seriously - we had five members of the family sharing ONE bathroom. DH had ten people sharing two bathroomns. You learn to pee in front of ppl, you gotta pee but someone's showering, you share the bathroom (but wait to poop with the door closed). But def learn to pee in front of ppl. I'll pee in front of DH, my gfs, mom, sister, anyone I am close with. I have no shame in a natural bodily function.

I grew up in a 2 bedroom farmhouse with 1 bathroom and 7 of us living in it (2 parents and 5 kids). In my own house, we have 5 people with 2 bathrooms. I have no problem with someone peeing while another is in the shower nor does anyone else in my family. Yet, it is common courtesy not to fart in front of others. It has nothing to do with shame or prudishness. It's courtesy.

Yup, i agree, I have no shame in my bodily functions. I don't fart openly around colleagues. I try not to subject my spouse to farts overtly, but I will let silent non smelly farts out around him without a thought. And I let him know if I am feeling particularly gassy or if some some reason they are smelly i apologize for the smell. But we live together, we have a small house, we have one bathroom, we overlap, he has seen a human come out of my vagina. he knows i fart. It's silly to stress over trying to hide a normal bodily function. The above response equating being comfortable with my own bodily functions to me not having boundaries, or the other PPs talking about how farting around your children will leave them damaged.... are clearly highly judgmental of very natural bodily functions.

I just think there is a strong correlation between those that are so judgmental about this natural bodily function and people who have always had the privilege of lots of privacy around bodily functions. We didn't all have the privilege of our own bathroom growing up. We had to pee in front of others, and normally if I am comfortable enough to pee in front of my sister, i am also fine farting in front of her if i have to. I dont make a show of it, but I also don't think its rude.
