Farting and relationships[views:22854][posts:88]__________________________________ [Apr 15,2008 11:47am - Milton ""] In your current or most recent relationship, who broke the farting barrier first and how soon? |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 15,2008 12:03pm - ouchdrummer ""] I did. And not because i was real comfortable with her or anything, it was because we had to run to catch a train and on the last step onto the train it just came out. Long, loud, and smelly. Unfortunately it was about 5 minutes before we could get off the train and just about everyone on the train heard me do it, and did not enjoy it. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 15,2008 12:07pm - dreadkill ""] hahahaa, i was just talking about this the other day. i broke the farting barrier after a long time. i used ot wait until she had to leave the room, then i would fart. or i would wait until i had ot use the bathroom and then i would fart. one day i was so sick of it and the gas really needed an exit, so i farted. now i fart in front of her all the time. lucky for her, most of my farts don't really smell. unfortunately for her, the gas i had on saturday night smelled pretty bad. my room smelled like roasted farts. |
| __________________________________________ [Apr 15,2008 12:16pm - SacreligionNLI ""] what is this gas you speak of? i know not what you are talking about. |
| _______________________________ [Apr 15,2008 12:42pm - Yeti ""] in my previous relationship, she broke the barrier. it was one of the hottest things i've ever seen. she was sitting there completely naked saying "i'm gonna do it". |

| _________________________________________ [Apr 15,2008 1:06pm - metal_church101 ""] I can remember one girl I was seeing who would fart during her sleep. To me, that broke the barrier, so I would let them rip when she was awake. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 15,2008 1:18pm - Grizloch ""] I was 69ing with my girl a few months ago under the covers as it was cold, she let one go on my face, due to the angle and spread-ed-ness of her legs it wasnt particularly loud or long, more of a fffffff, I dont know if she realized that I had noticed, as Im a trooper and continued giving her oral pleasure, but as soon as it had processed in my mind I moved the covers off of my head which was probably a pretty good indication ever since then I feel that my farting is fair game under any circumstances |

| ______________________________ [Apr 15,2008 10:28pm - ZJD ""] There was never a barrier. The first time I really needed to fart when we were together I did and from that point on I had no case for her not farting, plus farts are funny and we like to laugh. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 15,2008 10:31pm - the_reverend ""] there is nothing worse than dog farts. nothing funny about them AT ALL |
| __________________________________ [Apr 15,2008 10:37pm - Martins ""] My exbitch used to fart all the time and was proud of it. While I'm a man who revels in his farts, she was ridiculous. Let's not get started on queefs (sp?) either. the_reverend said:there is nothing worse than dog farts. nothing funny about them AT ALL Truthiest truth every told. My dog has dropped some motherfucking BOMBSSSSSSS. |

I knew a really hot little mexican girl that would lie on the ground, put her legs behind her head, pull air in thru her vadge (it sounded like slurping on a straw) then shoot it out at like 50 miles an hour. It was loud, lewd, and really sexy. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 16,2008 3:22pm - Bobby Bacala ""] female posters chime in on this subject |
| ______________________________ [Apr 16,2008 3:24pm - Yeti ""] hahahaha that is exactly how she would do it. she could do it standing up, sitting down, didn't matter. she had really strong vagina muscles. |

| _____________________________________ [Apr 16,2008 3:32pm - ouchdrummer ""] well unless your ex is little, cute, mexican, and lives in needham, then obviously there are more girls that can do that than previously believed. |

| ______________________________________ [Apr 23,2008 4:08pm - the_reverend ""] I just farted in my cube. |

| _________________________________________ [Aug 21,2008 3:27pm - metal_church101 ""] I can never hold a straight face when I fart. Especially in the office. I am too proud of my own work. |

| ___________________________________ [Aug 21,2008 6:11pm - Lamp nli ""] I don't remember who broke the barrier in my current relationship, all I know is the number of times we fart in each others presence now must be a dougle digit number. There was one time we were driving back from Rhode Island and had pretty much been up all night. After stopping to let her take the wheel somewhere in Virginia, I went to fall asleep in the passenger seat of the car. At some point I let out a huge, swampy fart that stunk up the car like rotting dead animals. I desire to reach that level of heinousness again. |
| _________________________________________ [Aug 21,2008 9:15pm - Conservationist ""] I have spent most of my adult life hiding my flatulence from significant others. All I can say is that having candles and Carcass on the stereo can obscure some intensely intestinal events. |

I've been with the same girl for 5 years, so I fart whenever I need to (abnormally frequent, if you ask me). She just laughs. That's how I know she's a keeper. |

| _____________________________________ [Jan 21,2009 11:15pm - under-tec ""] [img] http://www.under-tec.com Testimonials I am a 60 year old, married professional woman having raised 3 sons. For the past 32 years of my life, I've suffered with Crohns Disease, and Inflamatory Bowel Syndrome which causes symptoms of diarrhea and excesssive foul smelling gas. The embarrassment and consequent social anxiety would many times actually increase these symptoms. I am a clinical psychologist in private practice and it has been tremendously embarrassing when I pass gas while working; often with little or no control. The most embarrassing moment of my working career was when a client said,"It smells like sewage in here!" My professionalism melted when I admitted to the client that my gas was the cause of the smell. My devoted husband of 30 years had also struggled with sleeping in the same bed with me, and it would sometimes interfere with our intimacy. My children could laugh at it, but would leave the room. I noticed an increase in my symptoms when I was embarrassed about the foul smelling gas. On one Thanksgiving night, as my husband and I were lying in bed after a wonderful dinner, the foul smell became unbearable for both of us. My husband ruminated, thinking,"I can't divorce my wife over this, but I have to do something." At that moment, he began to develop the idea of a pair of air-tight underwear with a filter that would eliminate the foul smell. For the next few months he researched filter materials and made a prototype of the underwear. For the past 5 years, I have worn these underwear when I've had an acute Crohns attack with complete security. There has been no trace of bad gas odors. My social anxiety and embarrassment has been eliminated. In fact, I noticed I pass less gas when I wear the underwear, because I am calm, secure, and comfortable. "I have told everyone about your product and while this is a guarantee of a few hilarious minutes at first, most everyone is pretty interested in knowing more. I can only reiterate that your ingenuity has made me and my family's lives so much pleasanter! Best wishes and keep up the production." Lynn M. "This product needs to be known. I have had 80% of my colon removed and the doctors have not been helpful in taking care of my embarrassing problem. I hope you make it since I want to be able to continue to order them. My wife has been very patient all these years." J.C.E. "My plane ride to and from Kansas, my dinner with the Doctor and co-workers in Kansas, and the clinics went over smooth and without odor. I did have gas but was relieved that no one else knew but me." Anna Marie S. "Thank you for this wonderful product. It has given me the freedom and confidence to participate in activities that would have caused anxiety and concern in the past." Lawrence W. "I caught a few minutes of you on the radio talk show in Los Angeles. What a great idea! I don't currently have this type of problem, but had to say "BRAVO" to you! Will save a link to your website for future reference. You are providing an excellent product." Beverly H. "This message is to tell you that I am very happy with the underwear purchase. They fit perfectly, and do the job." Mary B. "I recently purchased a pair of your creation. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical at first. After wearing them for the first time, I was amazed at their efficiency. Truly a remarkable invention. Thank you." Salvatore C. "I am very please to tell you that the UNDER-EASE have arrived today (in China). It's very classy. The size fit me well. It's very helpful and brings joy and happiness! Thanks again. Allow me to offer my heartiest wishes." Imavis "They really are working for me.an answer to my prayers, because I like to wear them when I go out." Betty C. "My 12 year old son has been using his UNDER-EASE for about a week now, and we are quite pleased. They look like regular boxers and do not draw obvious attention when changing for gym. He is currently being tested for Crohn's . His UNDER-EASE has given him a 100% confidence to return to school after weeks of absence. You have quite a task ahead getting your message out." Bruce E. "You're a star. I think you may be on to something here in London. I have a feeling this may be the start of something great!" Mutuma M. "I've become one of your good customers. I also tell friends in Florida about you. Keep up the good work! My life is so much better. I can go out without being shamed." Juanita B. "Thank you. You've changed my life! I've had Irritable Bowel Syndrome for 40 years. I love them." Nora N. "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You saved my life! I can now go to school without worry. I' so happy you did this!" Dusky T. "UNDER-EASE is just like wearing regular panties. They work great, and I am recommending them to friends." Carol B., July 24, 2002. "I am 71 years old with Crohn's Disease and have received radiation therapy for cervical cancer. I am so please with your underwear because they give me the social confidence I need. (My Gastroenterologist said I should be a spokeswoman for your company.) Janet W., July 22, 2002. "I am very please that your UNDER-EASE had made the trick. You really made my life more pleasant and easy to live (with). Thank you." July 25, 2002. "I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome and UNDER-EASE is an answer to my prayers. Nothing else helped - no pills, medication, nothing." Betty C., September 27, 2002 "I am over 65 years old and take medication (Lipetur) for my cholesterol, and the medication causes offensive gas. UNDER-EASE helps when I go on an airplane and makes me more comfortable in social situations." Dolores B., September 30, 2002. "I am a circus performer and for years I have been embarrassed to pass gas on stage. People in the audience sometime thinks its part of the act but it isn't. Because of your wonderful product today my audience laughs at my gags and not my gas." P. Maher, October 7, 2002 "I tried the cushion and others products, but it didn't help. These panties REALLY work!", Sharyn F., October 2002 "Please rush that product out hear! Thanks to your husband for his ingenuity. Blessings & bright skies." Kevin, November, 2002 "I bought them for my husband, and he wouldn't wear them at first. Eventually he did, and now he loves them! Thank you so much for inventing them." Carolyn C., December 2002 |

| _______________________________________ [May 7,2012 3:44pm - ancient_master ""] Original sin explained. The first fart. Before Noah entered The Ark. Noah and his family were a bit cramped in The Ark. The worst thing about being on Noah's Ark was the prohibition on farting. And the penalty for farting on Noah's Ark is??? Hear the author reading the story on You Tube. Elephants are good. The perils of flatulence. Adam and Eve. He started the problems. Noah's Ark. Hell if you dont like your companions. There are times and places for every activity. An action, that might be considered natural and appropriate in the middle of a field, is totally unacceptable when engaged in under the bedclothes, when one is in company with a totally demure wife. It is considered to be inexplicable when the totally demure wife is engaging in the socially tabooed activity herself. But that is all bye the way, and not related to the story I am about to tell. The activity that this spellbinding tale is spun round is the expulsion of gas from the rear end exit from the body. This exhalation of methane is known as farting. It has been a constant biological provocation to the frictions that bedevil all marriages ever since Adam farted under the marital bed of leaves, thus sending Eve off on a sulky walk round the garden, where she met the serpent, and engaged in a conversation, the results of which we have all being paying for ever since. However since there is little doubt about who the culprit was when one fart precipitated the fall of man, ( there were only two of them, and it definitely wasn’t her), We have to move on a bit in history to find the incident that prompted the line immortalised in the title of this, not overly erudite, story. Most of you have probably heard of The Dead Sea Scrolls. These documents were found in a cave in Palestine around sixty years ago. They are currently housed in a museum in Jerusalem. The study of these documents has given historians, and theologians, some very valuable insights into how life was conducted in Palestine around the time of Christ, and in some centuries earlier. I am not going to write about these scrolls here. No, in this tale I want to reveal to the world some information that came to me in my capacity of President of The Ancient Society of Secret Historians. And this revelation, which only I am privy to, comes from a document known as the even deader than The Dead sea Scrolls scroll, and it was found in a toilet that was excavated underneath The Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem in 1907. The ancient parchment, that has the alternative name of The Solomon's Temple Toilet Toilet Roll, gives an account of a court martial that occurred on Noah’s Ark. It is written in Hebrew that predates the Jewish Babylonian exile, and may be considered to be the oldest extant evidence for the flood, and also only the second reference to farting in history. The first one is that unfortunate incident in Eden which I referred to earlier. Rather than bore the reader with a direct translation of the ancient "toilet roll", I am going to summarise the story in modern language. I hope in this way to convey the sense of the heinousness of the offence, and the justifiable wrath of the victims, in a manner more suitable to the perception of the modern reader. The incident took place around three months into the enforced voyage that Noah and his family had to take, when God decided to flood the entire globe, and destroy all his creation with the exception of the Noah family, and two of every kind of animal. All of these were cooped up together in a gigantic ship called The Ark. It took Noah 120 years to build his ship. The human accommodation on this vessel was not exactly conducive to the promotion of domestic harmony. Ninety nine per cent of the ship was taken up by the various animals. In a tiny cabin at the very top of The Ark Noah, his wife, their three sons,(Ham, Shem, and Japheth) and their three wives, had to exist with nothing to amuse themselves, and with only a tiny little window to glance out of occasionally at a very watery world. The worst thing about being on Noah's Ark was the prohibition on farting. Bickering became the order of the day. Half the time Noah wasn’t talking to his wife, and neither of them were on terms with the sons' wives. As is often the case, when people become institutionalised by confinement, small things become inordinately important. For instance Ham's wife fell asleep in a corner that Mrs Noah considered to be her space. The row over that lasted at least two weeks. The constant racket from all the animals did not exactly help to soothe frayed nerves either. The trumpeting of elephants, the roaring of lions, the laughing of hyenas, and the constant squawking of the various birds, meant that sleep could only be taken in snatches. To top their misery, the absolute prohibition on any type of farting, meant that their confinement together became a kind of nightmare. This ban on flatulence had been in force since the time of Adam and Eve. Since farting had led to the expulsion from The Garden of Eden, it was considered to be the most dammnable of all sins. It wasn’t such a problem prior to The Flood. If someone really needed to let rip, they could always go out into the fields to do so. God would know, and it would still be a sin. But at least no other human would be offended by the abomination. In the tiny cabin on The Ark it was a different story. No wide open spaces here to dissipate the offending gasses. And everyone would hear. So what we had here was a situation where eight people, who didn’t really get on, were confined together in a tiny cabin at the top of a ship packed with representatives of every animal on the planet; and there was little immediate prospect of them getting to enjoy the wide open spaces, or let rip in the middle of a field, like they had been accustomed to do all their lives. You see the problem was that though they had been farting all their lives, it was always only when they were unobserved. If asked, none of them would ever admit to the heinous solecism. Now privacy was unobtainable. Noah, his wife, their sons, and their wives, were reduced to standing sullenly in the corners of their tiny prison, afraid almost to move, lest the movement might force an evacuation of the gasses that were churning uncomfortably around in their respective intestines. It was a potentially explosive situation. The cleverest among the sons of Noah was Japheth. He was the kind of boy that would fall down crying, when his mother was in sight, and then pretend that Shem or Ham had pushed him. Of course Mrs Noah would give him a sweet, and clout the other two puzzled siblings around the head for "Bullying their poor little brother". He was a sneaky little brat, and he got away with that one for years. The result was that the two other kids resented him, and they held the grudge for decades, and were only longing for the opportunity to exact revenge. So while the rest of the family were clenching their cheeks resolutely, lest a sudden judder in The Ark might drive them into sin, while praying that God might send His angel to advise them that the prohibition was temporarily lifted, Japheth was devising a cunning plan. He had noted the trumpeting of the elephants, which was the loudest sound to be heard on the ship. The sneaky sod only decided to wait until the pachyderms bellowed again, and then to loosen his cheeks at the same time. He guessed that the sounds of the trumpeting would more than mask any sound that his rear end might produce. And the penalty for farting on Noah's Ark is??? He got away with it a few times. Ham and Shem suspected that he was up to something, when a relieved grin started to spread across their brother's face, instead of the clenched grimaces that adorned the visages of the rest of The Ark's crew. But they weren’t absolutely sure. They did note that the smile seemed to coincide with the trumpeting of the elephants. But that was not absolutely conclusive. What ruined it for the malefactor was the smell. Anyone who has studied the nature of flatulence can tell you that you can't predict which one you release into the atmosphere will be the smelly one. People have frequently stood in the presence of royalty, while slipping silent ones into the atmosphere unobserved, because they were without odour. But then, without warning, a real stinker can worm it's way out, and social disgrace can dog the rest of the unfortunate farter’s earthly existence. This is exactly what happened to the cocky son of the great patriarch. The elephants trumpeted. Japheth farted. Noah was the first to notice the awful smell. As the head of the family, and a bone fide prophet of God, to boot, he uttered the immortal words. "Who Farted? I Really Want to Know". "He did"! Ham and Shem simultaneously shouted, while pointing their accusing fingers at their red faced brother. "We must now have a court martial trial", Noah said. "Can we stone him afterwards"? the two righteous brothers asked eagerly. (They really had it in for Japheth). "No I have a much better idea", the wise old patriarch replied. "O.K let's make the trial a quick one then". So that is what they did. All the resentment that had built up over the years was vented on the head of, the once cocky, now shamefaced, Japheth. With Ham and Shem as the jurors, (women didn’t count in those days), the verdict was a foregone conclusion. "Guilty as charged". The punishment that Noah handed down to his wayward offspring was to be confined with his friends, the elephants, for the rest of his sojourn on The Ark. He considered that the proximity to these beasts, and their enormous intestinal eruptions, would cure him of the tendency to sin for the rest of his life. But, if anyone had cared to observe closely the expression of the criminal as he was dumped with the elephants, they would have noticed a most curious thing. Instead of the penitent expression that one would expect to see on the visage of a sentenced malefactor, there was a delighted grin spread all over the face of the younger son of the prophet. For Japheth knew, that while the "Righteous Ones “were screwing their faces into a rictus of pain, and clenching their buttocks, in their efforts to avoid offending God, with a sin that The Creator wasn’t bothered about anyway,("Righteous Ones") all over the world are still jumping through the same hoops), he would be down in the hold with the elephants having a fartfest. This true account never made it into the official bible. I sometimes think it is a pity that it did no |
