Could it be the American diet? Or the fact that many Americans do not shit first thing in the morning? Diet, regularity and emptying bowels first thing in the morning eliminates loud and stinky farts.

You wiil still pass gas but it will be usually silent and non-stinky.


Im from Europe. It could be the food I'm eating here, but I doubt it. I come from a long line of proud Dutch farters!

I bet lower income earners fart in front of their spouse more.


+1. But probably the causal variable for both is education level.


We both have advanced degrees and let it rip.


Us too. We also have HHI over $300k, and happily fart away (at home).



Us here as well. Maybe because we are so rich we just don't care

Absolutely, I was going to post the same thing.


We each have graduate degrees and pulled in more than $600K last year and $800K this year, and have no problem farting in front of each other every once in a while. We also (gasp!) wear shoes in our house. But keep thinking that if it makes you feel better.


+1. Both Drs and both unrepentant farters. But mine don't stink, so it's ok. Hers, on the other hand, smell like a rotting zombie.

Ok...my wife is up now...I heard the fart from the bedroom while in the living room. The dog went upstairs to be with her (she -- the dog -- knows the fart means DW is up).

As long as the far does not occur during anal sex (which I do not like), it is not a big deal.

Sharts...that is a different story.

If DH or I ever fart, it is no big deal, though it is not pleasant. I find it interesting that so many people fart so much.

Could it be the American diet? Or the fact that many Americans do not shit first thing in the morning? Diet, regularity and emptying bowels first thing in the morning eliminates loud and stinky farts.

Blame yourself for marrying that slovenly man.
You chose him.


Sensitive, much?


Why would I be sensitive?
I don't live with him.
My DH is classy.


So why did he marry you?

Here is my answer and it is sure to evoke some anger.

I am first generation American man. Because of the macho culture, I believe I can fart anywhere, anytime. DW must hold it in. (But sometimes she slips, so I beat her)

All true, except the last part. I give her a playful dirty look though.


You wife must have low self esteem.
Obviously,
