Following on from (a typically odd) conversation in DPC Chat I was just wondering what the opinions are on farting infront of others, particularly infront of one's partner.
Do you feel one should keep a cork in it and retire to a private place to let rip or do you believe in sharing and farting freely infront of the family?
My chohti behn, Frisca, is much more ladylike than I and does not fart infront of others, not even her gorgeous lover. My dear friends, Sher and Lecia bunny, are also of that ladylike persuasion.
I, on the other hand, am an unsexy, old hag and poison gas my husband regularly with odours of biological weapon potency.
There went my monitor again, spewed with coffee.
Dang, THAT ONE caught me off guard!
As a guy, I find great pride in a good fart, but only in the company of other guys.
I do believe there is a level of couth that is unwritten, and certain politeness should be
displayed in mixed company and around the opposite sex (or blame it on the dog).
On the trivia program last night, there was a topic on why 17th Century French ladies kept small dogs ... to pass the blame on. "You be quiet now, you silly little puppy!"
I hate it when you are in a store and someone does the surprise attack on you and you walk right into it.
Within the group of our uni friends there are two of us birds who have a bit of a reputation for our farts - so thick and evil people fancy they can see a green smog in the air.
Well she still likes to remind me of one I dropped in a store a few years back. A bunch of us girls were shopping together and were all in the queue together inside Marks and Spencers. It was a crowded payment desk and they had those queue control barriers that ensure everyone queues in ordered zigzags back and forth. I dropped one of my worst ones ever and we had to put up with it for several minutes until we finally paid and left.
Only then did I admit it was mine.
They'd all been glaring at the poor old dears around us trying to work out who had dropped it!
Well My partner says he does it to protect his family.
He must be kidding it us who needs the protection!
I usually try to be very ladylike and do my utmost not to do it in front of others. Our daughter howerer aged 14 just lets them rip to order, much to the horror of her Dad (double standards here)
What a topic!
My opinion on the subject is...it is a natural body function, nothing to be ashamed of, sometimes you just can't help it. However, as with coughing, or sneezing, which you generally cover your mouth and don't do it "on" someone, it is polite not to subject others to the smell, although it remains amusing to let a silent deadly one go on your way out of a elevator crowded with strangers. hehehe
Now within our household, my wife, 6 yr. old daughter and I, are pretty open and usually find it albeit obnoxious, quite entertaining when someone cut's loose. In fact little Tucker Rose will pop one, grin and chirp "I tooted!" followed by giggling and squeels of delight.
Oh and of course, the wife just loves it if I rip one in bed and pull the covers over her head! hehehe (just kidding, I would NEVER, EVER do such a thing ;-) )
I long ago learned the art of "ahem"ing and scuffing my shoes across pavement in such a way as to deflect notice of the sound. The odor, OTOH, I've found is best deflected by a quizical look around one, ...i.e., a silent "what's that I smell, and where's it coming from" question.

Aaaahemmmm!!!!
The quizzical look doesn't cut it with me bud!
He who smelt it dealt it! ;)
The worst thing is when you aboslutley MUST set one free, and try to do it on the sly, but it makes a really loud report, and in a quiet setting to boot. No escaping that. Or the olfactory aftershock.
