Would you hold you gas for a while

In most cultures it is rude to fart in public and you should attempt to not do it in front of others. If you MUST, then it is always good to try and go somewhere that people are not at. It seems everyone has that time that you can not hold it in and you end up embarrassing your self in public! It happens to all of us!

Hi syoti, My god, you were holding back for more than an hour? Generally when you do not allow it, it goes back and creates another problem. accumulates more gas. It feels like you have a bulging stomach. In such situation if possible I beg excuse and go to the toilet and let the gas out. Or if are sure that your fart is smell free you could do that there itself but in installments.

lol =D Can one really hold their gas? I thought it's uncontrollable and that's how it's the most feared thing when trapped in a lift.. lol =D Actually it's all right to let off those 'natural gas', for it's normal. Besides, there are the silent(but stinks), and noisy (non-stink).. haha =D Nobody will get a bad impression of u, just because of gas gas gas.. haha

I teach dance. I have learned to back into a corner and let it out slowly, if needed. I would not hold it that long, though, everyone farts!!!

I think it is best not to hold it, but to walk away from others and then let it out. This gas needs to be released in order to keep the body healthy and keeping it in for too long way not be good for us. It is not polite to let others have a smell of it, but it is not too hard to get away from others to do it. If you cannot get away, then at least go into a crowd of people to let it out so that no one knows it was you!

Maybe the office is not the best place to fart in front of everyone. Can't you leave it for a moment? I guess the best would be to go to the bathroom, look yourself for some minutes and release your stress (and remember to have some deodorant handy thereafter). Particularly women feel ashamed to see/hear/smell a fart and will get angry. But if working only with men, all in confidence, it's not so bad. Maybe I can hold it a minute or two, but a whole hour is too much for me.

LOL. I have had to hold mine for a very long time, many hours. It is embarrassing to do it if someone can hear or smell it so I hold mine in also.

What a topic! But in answer to your question, I already have done that, as well as holding it longer. One simply does not break wind in Church!!! Our Russian Orthodox Catholic masses can last for several hours, & one must control oneself as far as possible--so as not to disturb & distract one's fellow churchgoers. There have been other occasions where one has been required to do this, but in my case, Church is the most frequent one. I've reached the point of self-control, that I make certain that the day before I go to Church, I eat things that won't give me gas. That includes beans, potatoes, or such vegetables as broccoli or cabbage. In my church, the acquisition of this control was begun with prayer, which gave me the ability to control my desire for food & drink for at least 6 hours before mass. Other desires are also controlled in the same way, through much prayer. And, as with all things, "practice makes perfect." Now, please excuse me; I'm going to hunt for some air-spray to clear the room of the very thought of letting "green fog" loose!

Why didnt you just go to the restroom and let it out??? Its reallt not good to hold it in. All the little one bunch up together into a really big one. Let me tell you about when i met my sons gf. We all deside to travel 4hrs away to my fathers home. On the way there and on the way back we ate at very many fast food place and i had been holding it in all the 4 hr trip back home. i felt i had to got o the bathroom. When i got up i felt the gas. On the way to the restroom i farted with each step. Uncontrollablly. I was so embarrised. i only had to pee but i was so full of gas that it went out of control.

I wouldn't hold for so long, because my face would turn green after doing that, it's just like enduring nature's call, feels really unpleasant.

I think it is a natural activities. So we should not do any thing against the nature. Holding gas in body for long time is not good for health.

I would have excused myself and went to the bathroom and then farted. I don't like holding it in because I get real bad stomach pains if I do. So, like I said, just excuse yourself and either go to the bathroom or go outside and let loose.

Why didn't you just excuse yourself and go the the restroom? I'm sure people would've been a lot happier with you. After holding it in for an hour, you must've been in pain. Nothing worse then lingering gas. Best Wishes!

I tend to do that too, I don't why but always around the same time I get this urge to fart but I don't want to do because I'm a lady and that may not be proper. I use to hold my gas for at least 2 hours, but then I had to release it in the bathroom because my stomach started hurting really bad.

hi syoti my doctor said that to hold that in is unhealthy so excuse y ourself and get rid of the gas in the privacy of a womens rest room/ We Americans are so afraid we will fart in public we will go around half ill form not emptying our bladders ahd having a b.M.Being ill from holding all that in will not win sypathy from co workers who have to do their own worekers and yours too.a

I love to fart, make fart jokes, even posted a video on my facebook about me lighting my farts, it's fun! But there are limitations, and some things are taken too far...and for what's fine with us people will get all up in arms even if you let out a tiny little squeaker. So most of the time I behave myself and hold in my farts or if it's painful, let it out silently. It's just common courtesy, too. So my answer is yes, hold it in, or go to the bathroom to let it out, or do it discreetly, you really can't do anything wrong by taking those precautions.

If I were in your shoes, I would find a rest room immediately so I can fart. That way, I wouldn't embarrass myself in front of anybody. I'll have to make sure though that if I have to fart, there would be no one around.

No way!Haha.. How could you hold it for an hour~ You are really funny. You should just excuse yourself and go to the washroom or let it go while you on your way there~ It is not good to hold your gas. You can get some really bad stomach pains. So don't hold for it no mere next time~

You might get sick, why dont you go the toilet or outside and fart it. Some people they do it and they do not care whether they do it infront of their people or not. In cultures it is rude to do that. Man how did you feel, I think you could have been sick if you really waited an hour.

Hi syoti20, I have heard in the past that there could be some form of problems with holding your gas in. To fart is and always will be something that happens, so when ready why not let it happen instead of having to try and hold it in for ages? For me i have held it in before and i have had stomach ache through doing this. If i wanted to fart and others were around then i would just excuse myself and call to the nearest toilets so that i could get it out of the way.
