I mean, I don't think you can control it when you are sleeping. In fact, I didn't even know you COULD fart in your sleep until I started sleeping like sh!t as I got older ... and there DH was, comfortably farting away in his sleep.

This is crazy. I am sure there are some unhygienic habits that women do and men ignores them so it is all on people who think it is big deal but actually not really.

Do you all really fart audibly, pick your nose, hock up phlegm, pop zits, and shit in front of your partners? Ugh.

Statins make you release gas as part of cholesterol blocking.

Me too. Cept we are both wives. I’m the gassy one. Pretty sure it’s dairy… I love dairy though so it is what it is.


Same. I never used to fart much but the body gets less efficient as you age, so people become more fart-prone.

I'm a woman and my DH farts all the time. It's perfectly normal to fart and there is no way I'm any less attracted to him because of it or ever would be. So, yes, you are indeed a prude.

I have autoimmune SIBO but am in remission (it can be triggered and can come back). The smelly gas is often due to dysbiosis of the gut and a probiotic might be able to help with that - although if they have active SIBO you want to treat that first and then think about a probiotic.

We’ve been married a long time, but it seems like this issue is getting worse and since this is not something I want to discuss with girlfriends, I’m posting here.


Yes to all of the above. Raises his cheek, farts during dinner, we can be in the middle of a serious, important conversation and he will lift his butt and fart right while I’m talking. It drives me absolutely insane.

I literally had to make him promise not to fart in the middle of saying our vows, I was that terrified he would.

It’s literally the only red flag he has so I tolerate it. But I hate it. And saying anything is worse, because then he makes a show of “look! I’m opening the door to go stand in the yard for no reason! Nope I’m not doing anything out here! Definitely not farting!”

I did have one other boyfriend 20 years ago who would fart during sex. At least he’s not that bad. But I really don’t understand what goes through their heads and why they think that’s acceptable.


He’s on the spectrum.


He’s definitely not. He just grew up around a lot of guys. And I suspect has some sphincter control issues he’s embarrassed to talk about.

This assumes it’s something they can control. See my SIBO post above.

He needs to poop at night before bed. I get that he can’t control his body while sleeping but he does need to make sure his colon is empty before hot boxing you all night. Or he can sleep in the guest room.


This.i very regular and poop 5x a day. So My farts are mostly in private on the toilet because I don’t really trust that it’s not a shart. They usually don’t smell *that* bad, like if if it’s just a gas/air release after chugging a carbonated drink. Because my colon is empty.

My husband’s farts are downright lethal and smell like he did shart! We don’t fart on purpose around each other, but sometimes they slip or we are on walk or I go into the bathroom after he comes out. I love him so much but it’s def an ick.
