Talking about Gas (from Your Behind)

Hello ailema4ever, Farting in public is considered an embarrassing experience here in my country. I think it is the same in Indonesia too, isn't it? My husband has a funny act whenever he wants to release that special gas. If he is sitting right next to me, he will go to somewhere else and release the very nice smelly gas, far away from being heard of others *laughs* I have no funny experience about releasing the gas in public but I would like to share the story that happened between my husband and I. When we first get married, we also tried to be as polite as we could be. When we want to fart, we will tell our spouse, "Excuse me, Dear! I want to have a 'special business' right now!" with those pampered looking face and a blink *laughs* Both of us understood the statement! But when I was pregnant, I would fart easily and sometimes during sleeping time! My husband would tell me in the morning that I did that special business while I was sleeping! No more embarrassing face and feeling guilty anymore after that!

Hi ailema4ever! Oh, it is not really a taboo thing although it may be embarrassing to do such when in public. But I guess, even it may be embarrassing it is still a natural thing to do and everyone does it. haha..We will just end up giggling or laughing about it afterwards anyway. haha..Take care and have a nice day.

I'm in Canada, and farting isn't "taboo" here, but it is considered rude and gross to do it in public. I will do it in public though if I have to, but I always look around me first to make sure no one is around, lol. When I'm around friends I always let 'em rip, lmao. Mine tend to be very musical but non-smelly, so it's just entertainment for anyone within earshot, lolol.

Ive only encountered ppl my parents age complaining about farts, and ppl that either, dont like you or need to up themselves over you. Neither person is someone I socialize with for very long. Farting is a natural thing, and Im pretty proud of them when they make a sound, and sad when they do the rare smellbomb thing. There is only one kind of farting I dont like, the smelly sneaker. At least announce who to laugh and complain to. Have the decency to say who's green cloud youre sniffing :D Truely though, there is eticette attached to farting, as well as for speaking and other things. But as long as you know common curtesy, a fart is just a natural release of the body, and I can for the life of me see anything shamefull about it Are you too ashamed to poo and pee as well? One of them gals that dont go number two when visiting a boy you like?

I don't really care to fart when I am just around my family. Here in our house, it seems like a casual thing for me and hubby but every time either of us fart especially if its too loud we just make a laugh. One time, hubby and I was talking about this subject. I told him, you know what, before my cousins and my family told me that if you fart silently then better inform the people around you because it means your fart smells very stinky and when it's loud enough to be heard by everyone, it doesn't smell at all. After he heard that, he burst to laughter and all of a sudden I smell the stinky odor. I asked him, "baby, did you fart?" He said, yes. He smiled and said I guess you are right. I wish I listened to you so I was able to warned you. Then, I laughed. He asked me why. I said, "baby, it was only a conclusion made by us since it applies to us and it doesn't mean it will apply to everyone. However, if you will believe in it, well there's no harm anyway". Well, it maybe a coincidence but I guess it's always the case as I observed. When your fart is loud it doesn't smell but if you won't hear it (silent) it stinks!*wink* I tried also giving a loud fart infront of my friends and it produced much laughter. I had a stomach disorder that time.

ha ha... fart is such a topic that brings out laugh. Well there is nothing like a taboo or anything but yes farting is not considered as a decent sign. one must try and not fart loud or when with many people... i mam myself laughing at my own comments... well in our case, since childhood this has been our topic of discussion and laughter... we even use to swear each other as farter... now i know that brings a laugh out of you. hope its not bringing a fart :))

I find it to be embarrassing for me. I don't now about it being taboo or not here in America, but for me as a person, I can't do that in public. I will wait to go to the bathroom in privacy or until I get home. Sometimes even my stomach hurts from trying to keep it in. At home is different. We all fart at home in comfort hahaha! My daughter played a very mean trick on me once. She farted under the blanket on the couch and left it there, I lifted the blanket and oh, it was terrible! She was hiding behind the couch and laughed so hard, what a terrible trick I said! We both laughed though.
