Well I know loads of people like this, so I know it’s pretty common. If someone does one in front of me I wouldn’t even acknowledge it

#42

Really? Are you completely honest with your partner even if it might hurt them?

#43

Why wouldn’t I be?!

Sounds very unhealthy

only just realised how funny smelly farts are

#45

It’s not unhealthy actually, it’s fine :slight_smile:

I personally wouldn’t want that at all, and would rather have a real relationship and connection with someone, rather than some sort of avatar/version of someone. Being honest =/= being a dick, you can still say things in the right way and in the right context and I would argue that it’s far far healthier.

I just don’t think you have to share absolutely everything about yourself to have a good relationship

#50

You don’t have to. But I also think keeping things deliberately hidden to put across the perfect version of yourself isn’t great.

Farting in front of other people is not someone’s ‘true self’

#53

remember reading this story about a little deaf girl that got hearing implants for the first time at 8 years old. not long after she got them the family were sitting in the kitchen eating when the wee girl farts. she stops with a look of surprise and asks “it makes a noise?!?”

Also, If you have a fear or problem with gas and you ask me not to as your partner, of course I’ll try and respect that as much as possible, the same way if you were terrified of spiders I wouldn’t catch one and throw it in your face, but it goes both ways and we are talking about a bodily function that pretty much everyone does.

Are you not human? because truly in it’s basic terms, it kind of is.

You were also talking about lying to your partner which is probably what is more being focused on as well.

Theres a difference between not letting someone feel comfortable in revealing their identity and saying please don’t purposely let farts out in front of me

Yeah unless it’s going to be one that’s particularly pungent. They do them far more than me though the ratio is probably something like 9 to 1.

no but it’s a silly thing to hide in my opinion.

I totally respect finding the idea of doing it in a childish way or needlessly unappealing and unattractive but if it’s a natural thing?

Of course there is! :smiley: this isn’t what you were saying before though!
