Letting It All Hang Out - Farting in Front of Your Man

fart.jpgFarting.
Pooping.
Peeing.

It’s all gross, which is why we do it in the privacy of our own homes. But, when is it OK to stink up your boyfriend’s bathroom or let him in when you’re peeing? Is it ever okay to poop or fart in front of your man? Let’s discuss.

I have been in a relationship for roughly eight months now and, while my boyfriend sees no problem with shoving me in a dutch oven, I personally haven’t been able to pass wind in front of him…yet. He was always very open with his bodily fluids in front of me - and I love him for it (”it” being that he feels comfortable with me, not the smell of his farts suffocating me under the covers). However, men definitely hold a double standard with females regarding the pooping/farting business.

While we haven’t crossed into the “me farting in front of my man” part of our relationship yet, we have gotten into the, “he pops into the bathroom when he knows I’m pooping,” situation. I normally yell and shriek for him to get out and he laughs and gives me my privacy. I don’t care if he comes in while I’m peeing - I have always been comfortable doing around him - but #2 is a whole different story.

There is a part of me that thinks you can get too comfortable with a significant other; I want him to find me sexy and a foul smelling bathroom situation may prevent that.

A girlfriend of mine has been dating her boyfriend for over four years and she still has never pooped or farted in front of him. 4 years! Some say that keeps the romance alive, others say its creating boundaries for your relationship. (Editor’s Note: I think it causes serious stomach cramping, but that’s just me.)

Some guys have no problem with the farting; they simply think its funny or could care less. Some guys are always freaking out when they hear girls talk about the bodily functions. “Girls don’t poop!” they scream. But we do, so why are we forced to hold it in when our boys are around?

What do you think ladies? Have you ever stunk up his bathroom or ripped a big one in front of your boyfriend? How did he react?

    i remember the first time i farted in front of a boyfriend. and he thought it was cute. what?! ok, i mean, its great that he was ok with it, but cute? seriously?

  2. Alice says :

    I’m definitely in the “keeping the mystery alive” camp. Been going out with my boyfriend for over 2 years; never farted in front of him, and I turn the shower on in the bathroom if I need a poop. Burping’s okay though.

  3. Panda says :

    I farted on my boyfriend yesterday. It was fine. We use the bathroom while the other person’s there..they’re just not things that disgust us. They’re natural normal human functions.

  4. Mara says :

    My boyfriend of almost two years is certainly not shy about stinking up MY bathroom… generally I try to avoid the situation in general if at all possible but I wouldn’t go to too great lengths. I cant imagine actually going to the bathroom in front of him tho - ugh, no thanks. Natural body functions? Of course. Necessary relationship experience? Not if I can help it.

  5. Mandy says :

    I definitely do not poop around my boyfriend, he jokes around that it’s a bodily function and everyone does it… but I just don’t. He’s really open when he says he has to go “blow it up” in the bathroom… but something about being a girl… I’m not comfortable with that…

  6. Toni says :

    OK! THIS IS PERFECT! My man of almost 1 year and I were just discussing this last night. He constantly farts in front of me and lets me know when he has to poop and how long it will be. To me it doesn’t bother me when he does that. It did at first but it doesn’t now.

    On the other hand I am way shy about it. I have NEVER farted in front of him and I have pooped at his house before but I am a quick pooper so he never knew about it.

    He says he doesn’t feel like I am comfortable with him. Well personally I just don’t think it is very lady like to let him know my personal “business” I don’t even do tell my closet friends that kind of stuff. I will talk about anything but pooping or farting it kind of grouses me out I guess. And I don’t want him to suddenly think I am not sexy for it. It is not that I am not comfortable with him I guess I am just not that comfortable with myself… Normal body function or not.

  7. Jess says :

    not my thing.. lol. I’ve been with my boyfriend for 3 years and we keep our body functions to our selves.

  8. leebee says :

    I live with my bf, and we have been through everything together and experienced everything…. except entering into the bathroom when we’re each going. I think that’s just a privacy thing. Each of us deserve our own separate time alone and privacy… especially since I have a G.I. disorder. Definitely something that requires a level of comfortability between a couple to deal with. lol

  9. Rachel says :

    In my experience, it makes guys feel at ease when they know that their girl isn’t afraid or ashamed of letting one rip. A lot of my guy friends actually complain about how their girls aren’t on that level, even after being with them for years. I myself have done all but #2 in front of the bf, at his house, and him knowing, yes; but with him right there, no. Its just… bad. LOL, no one wants to smell that right next to them.

  10. kaTie says :

    This is hilarious! Becca, my boyfriend also said it was cute when I pooted it in front of him the first time, and now I’m married to him, so it’s definitely not bad for a relationship. In fact he still says it adorable! I just think that’s so weird, but as long as he says my gas adorable and no one elses, it can stay adorable, cute, and fabulous too! lol

  11. Lauren, University of Michigan says :

    I dont know if the simple fact of pooping in front of a boy is the problem, or them knowing that i sometimes bring my laptop with me.

  12. heather says :

    ive been going out with my boyfriend for almost 4 years now, and if i fart in front of him he doesnt say anything. silence is golden. but hey, shit happens (poor attempt at pun intended).

  13. ela says :

    i held em for a while which made my stomach do crazy noises. he thought i had major digestion issues and told me i should really see a doc. lol. i’m a veg. that means mucho fiber and double the amount of farting.i let em fly now and if we both eat mexican we see who can do the most damage. fart-wise (length, decibels or smell). when he rips thru a bag of beef jerky i vacate the premises. i may have said too much.

  14. Casey says :

    Ha Lauren, I take mine with me too :)

    I have never farted in front of a bf (to their knowledge) not my ex of 2 1/2 years and not my current of 8 months. If I know it will be a silent non smelly one (and yes I know my farts) then I’ll let it rip. But they have never known and never will. I also don’t poop in front of them. I will poop at their house or with them at mine after I have reached that ultimate comfort level. But I have pooped at my current bf’s house only before i get in the shower while the water is running. And we tell each other poop and fart stories (yeah, weird)

    But my sister is engaged, lives with her fiance and will be married in 2 months and she waits until he is gone or comes home to poop if he is at the apartment. THAT I think is just bad.

  15. Manda says :

    I’ve been with my boyfriend for 3 years. At first, I was really insecure about farting/burping in front of him. I was like that for atleast 2 years. I moved in with him right after out 2nd year anniversary and I accidentally burped really loud. From that day forward, I fart/burp whenever and he doesn’t mind at all. He usually laughs and tries to compete.

    I don’t mind if he comes in the bathroom when I’m peeing, but if I’m pooping and he walks in I make him leave. He doesn’t let me in the bathroom with him…ever. Lol

  16. Laur says :

    A few weeks ago, I was having serious digestive problems and could not poo for the life of me. I was in pain and told my bf of 9 months, because it was obvious that I didn’t feel well. That was the first time we talked about me, er, pooping. I’m pretty sure he loved it. Not that I couldn’t poop, but that suddenly we were talking about my poo issue on a daily basis, until I felt better and could go to the bathroom again. Looks like my constipation broke the ice. Go figure.

  17. chellie says :

    I don’t really see what the big deal is, lol..if your man is looking for a girl who does not fart or poop, he should just move on! xD

  18. nikki says :

    i let rip all of the time in front of my b/f but i do suffer from ibs he thinks its funny especially when ive eaten cabbage the couple down stairs must wander wots coming though the ceiling

  19. CoChee says :

    While farting, pooping, & peeing are normal bodily functions, I’m not comfortable doing any of these in front of ANYONE.

    I think what’s most important is being courteous and clean. When you poop, afterwards spray some air freshner or burn a match. When you pee, turn on the water faucet or flush while you’re peeing to drown out the sound of your pee hitting the water. After either acts- WASH YOUR HANDS!!!!

    If you fart (unexpectantly) APOLOGIZE. If it slips out while you’re sleeping, then you’re not liable.

  20. Dom says :

    I’ve been dating my current boyfriend for about 8 months now. We burp and fart around each other and have since the very beginning–stuff happens. Usually we just mutter an excuse me and move on–no big deal.

    When I stay at his apartment, I definately use his bathroom to pee and poop whenever I need to. No use feeling uncomfortable, right?

    I just have an issue when he tries to talk to me through the bathroom door while I’m going (1 or 2). I just… can’t. Anything that was going on… stops. And it’s not my boyfriend. I also have that same issue with public restrooms (I just CAN’T go in crowded ones), or even when I’m home with mom and dad and they’re trying to tell me to do something when I get out…

    So, there you have it. I’m good to go as far as any of those issues are concerned… just… not directly in front of or in conversation with anyone…

    haha, this article and the comments are hilarious~!!!!!@

  22. Tots says :

    omgosh i remember when this happened, he begged me to fart in front of him bc he said everyone farts and to just get it out in the open … i couldnt do it on demand but when i did omgosh he laughed so hard i was so embaressed, but he wanted me to do it so i did haha and now im married to my hubby and everything is normal it happens and its ok, even though we still laugh about it.

  23. Erica says :

    I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost 2 years. We basically live together at college. He pees in front of me all the time, at least once a week (he pees outside a lot, generally on the way home from parties). I find it kinda funny. He has no problem farting in front of me (but was definitely embarrassed the first time he did, but I can’t fart in front of him. I get “stage freight” when it comes to peeing, pooping or farting in front of people, haha. So it’s not just him, it’s anyone, really. He also tends to be a little shy about having to “drop timber.” We don’t hold it in, we just don’t announce it, haha. We can definitely talk about it, it’s just the act of pooping it in the other’s presence. I guess we just spare each other, haha.

  24. Veronica says :

    LOL My boyfriend and I were dating for about 2 months when I accidently farted in front of him. We were watching movies and I fell asleep, only to be awakened by my own fart. It was a hilarious situation. I wasn’t sure if he heard or did I really just do that and he didn’t know whether to act like he heard LOL Than all of a sudden we both bursted in laughter and he says “WOW, mark this day and time that you farted in front of me, that was SO cute” Now pooping in front of him, thats just wrong. There is a certain concentration and privacy that people need when pooping….LOL ewww, thats just…BAD, REALLY BAD. Btw, we have been dating for a year and a half now and he is definitely the love of my life.

  25. carolina says :

    How long does it take for somebody to poop, seriously? laptop to the bathroom? letting know how long it would be? Some people should get check about that. As far as i know the bathroom is not a hang out place you go in do what you have to do, wash up and get out. Ive been with my boyfriend for 3 years now. I have never even thought about peing or pooping in front of him. Yes, its normal and everybody does it but that doesnt mean you have to share it. It just kills privacy and respect in a relationship. Guys that think is ok to poop in front of your girl? have some respect!! so not atractive. Farting could be a little diferent since that is something you cant help SOMETIMES.Its doesnt mean he is gonna come and start farting all over me. I dont know what girls are thinking. This shouldnt even be discuss.

  26. Mickey says :

    I’ve farted twice in front of my boyfriend.
    One time we were eating after getting out of the pool and I was sitting with my legs up on the chair. I didn’t even expect it to come out but it did. He and his friend laughed for about ten minutes then forgot about it.
    The other time I was laying down and laughing and when I sat up I farted. He laughed his head off for about twenty minutes and reminded me the next day about it.

    I usually try to keep my bodily functions to myself, but they’ll slip out at times. I’ve let out a few silent ones and they’ve smelled bad but he’s never said anything. I don’t think he noticed.
