User post: Romance Killer, or Fact of Married Life?

I'm a guy and I think it is nasty when people glorify their bodily functions...we all know it happens but there are proper ways to handle it. Guys or girls...just think about it!!!

I agree about burping and farting in public areas where people are near you...these if need to do so can be done appropriately...what everyone has pride over is the embarrassment factor....Guys are ranchy to begin with...there is no escaping it, but what makes me laugh so hard is when a female has to burp or fart....and how they respond to us....I say get off your high horses you ruling hypocrites and lighten up!

Come on America.. farts are funny... ever fart as you leave an elevator? I myself do not do it, but would laugh if someone else did. I also leave the area if I have to "toot". My scottish hubby lets it rip anywhere, he finds joy in crop dusting others in grocery isles. I do agree that it would be a turn off for them to do it while you are seeking cuddle time.

I mostly agree....it's nasty to let everything rip all the time in front everyone. My boyfriend says it wouldn't bother him for me to fart in front of him, but I just cannot do that purposely. I've had a few "sneaky" ones that weren't so sneaky and I felt a little embarrassed!! I don't think the occasional burp hurts anything, as long as it's just occasional!! No matter what anyone says, our culture has deemed the passing of air, either out the mouth or hindquarters, as being offensive. I certainly don't think it's sexy or romantic to be letting it all out!! Yes, he knows we women have bodily functions just like he does, but in my opinion, the less he sees and hears the better!!

In the privacy of our own home, I can't help it, but I'm naturally gassy that's both farts and burps. My hubby thinks it's funny and cute. While I don't share his enthusiasm about his farts/burps, I don't get upset either. It is a part of life and to me, there would a lot more things to be upset about than something we can't always help.

My boyfriend thinks its cute when i fart in front of him. It doesn't bother either one of us. It also isn't a big deal in my family either. However, I do not, or try extremely hard not to let any bodily functions occur in front of his family or in public. It really depends on how comfortable you are with that person, and how comfortable you are with those situations.

I personally don't mind my fiance making whatever noise he chooses from whichever part of his body. Sometimes I give him a look of "Was that really needed?" But he's cute about it, somehow.

I'm also the same though...I keep the bathroom door shut, and no one sees me shave. He makes fun of me for it, but hey...that's me. I like to keep some things to myself.

You don't have children, do you?

It's both, and while I admire your self control, I'm sorry you don't have a partner who feels the same way as you do about it!
I think when you really love someone none of those things matter.

My mom's a nurse... I grew up knowing that people are....dare I say....HUMAN. With...dare I say....human bodily functions. Even......WOMEN!! Young lady....you need a reality check. So what's gonna happen during those later years if you come down with certain ailments that we ALL will come down with eventually....?? Like...say you get breast cancer?? or ovarian problems?? or whatever comes down the pike?? Ya gonna hide all that from your husband? Are YOU going to think it's GROSS when your husband has some issues?? If you can't handle burps and farts now..... lord help ya....AND/OR your husband..... when the SERIOUS stuff happens......and it WILL happen.... I think you should let your husband shave ya myself....might spruce up the sex life.....

lol i understand you, but once in awhile u might want to show him your as comfortable w/him as he is w/you. i went 6yr. without him knowing i waxed my upperlip when he seem me do it it he was grossed out so pick out your plan of attack lol he love u more for it cuase he'll know it just for him to "know" the real you.

Meh, if that's the kind of relationship you WANT, then you're entitled to that preference. Marriage is what you make it.

I think a little mystery is a good thing. You still have to maintain some manners or else it kills the romance. There's a difference between being comfortable and being offensive. An occassional slip is no big deal, but just being gross and letting everything hang out all the time is not sexy.

its really all about respect or the lack of it!

i dont mind it...i mean i dont do it myself but my hubby may occasionally (not in front of other people of course) ..i dont see it as a big deal...there are other more important issues to tackle when it comes to marriage and living with your significant other than those u r referring about here,

I have no problem cutting the cheese in front of hubby. Granted, i am 8 months pregnant, so i cant always help it, but he doesnt care. We have reached a level of comfort that we can just let loose with each other...

Who the hell is that chick in the picture? DAMN!!!

Been married for over 30 years and my wife has never farted in front of me. I've tried to be good....but I'm not that good. Usually in bed asleep when I do it.

Every one should be able to do what makes them comfortable and just accept the other person be it your mate/lover/husband for them (unconditional love) .... These are the things that make us are own unique individuals if you feel its not lady like thats ok but please take into consideration you husband is not a lady....

farting,u shit in the open n shout!!
