but would you impose them on others?

and people are allowed to have private things, of course.

As one of millions of people with a serious bowel disease, this subject and weird ‘lets not talk about it’ attitude is part of the problem with society from a sufferers standpoint.

fair point, I wouldn’t impose it on others but would avoid it myself

Can we all agree that a noise and a smell coming out of your bum is definitely, definitely funny. I don’t want people to lose sight of this important point

Now this where I know I’m weird because I don’t mind talking about poo at all, so I’ll admit the fart think might be a bit of a ‘thing’ I have. Also, I’d actually prefer it if people just said for example ‘oh are you unwell, are you feeling ok’ or ‘I’m sorry I’m not well today’ nicely if someone accidentally did a smelly one rather than the hahaha I just farted how funny am I!

I like to think of myself as the female epimer.

Also notice the high posters in here are those with bowel problems :frowning:
WE HAVE AN EXCUSE!

@elthamsmateowen how can you not think this attitude is worse than mine!

#87

why does it have to be those two extremes though? Doesn’t have to be ‘omg are you ok’ or ‘hahaha’ but more of just a non event. (Or whatever works for the couples involved, it’s not like there’s a right or wrong way here)

I also obviously am not necessarily saying everyone should just run around farting here, but just that making it taboo (especially in the context of a comfortable relationship) seems odd.

semi unrelated but i was thinking a similar thing the other day about sex, it’s obv great that sex positivity has made people realise they’re allowed to talk about it more but now it seems like some people use it as a license to tell everyone they meet about their boring personal kinks

Sure it’s puerile but he’s also trolling you I think. And a lot of people do find it funny, so I don’t really know, it doesn’t feel like an oppressive opinion.

It’s funny, but also gross.

In the home, sure, laugh it up. But if some stranger sprays a bodacious stank in a train carriage or something - I find that pretty grim.

prude shaming

Ok maybe it is a bit uptight

#93

I kind of get where you’re coming from but I feel like sexual repression is a far great issue in society than sexual positivity.

Dance like nobody is watching.
Love like you’ve never been hurt.
Sing like nobody is listening.
Work like you don’t need the money.
Fart like you’re alone on the shitter.

^this, spot on

I mean yeah, be respectful, and I know the kind of ‘we met 20 minutes ago and I’m now talking about how much I like pegging’ people you’re talking about and even to me that’s pretty jarring, but I’d say it’s pretty few and far between (or people who are unsatisfied/doing a schoolyard bravado thing most likely)
