I dont know, I realize that women are only human, but when a women wants to look sexy and turn a man on, farting just dosnt seem proper and it dosnt fit into the equation, my equation anyway.

What is your take on this
I'm with Terrance and Philip on this issue!

You know, Im glad you bring this up because this is another problem I have noticed. Perhaps it should be discussed on another thread but while we are on gthe subject, may as well do it right here. Why is it that some women think that just because they have been with somone for so long that it is just all of a sudden "ok" to quit putting an effort into "looking sexy" Dont you want to look sexy for your man??? This reminds me of buying a pack of hamburgh in a supermarket. When its sitting there on the shelf, it looks really pink and nice because of the dye they inject on the outsides, but once you buy it, take it home and start digging into it further, it begins to look less and less appealing. Bad metaphor?? Maybe, but it works. Personaly I think that this is why there is such a high divorce rate. The people in the relationship for some unknown reason think its ok to quit trying to please there partner. The same goes for men.
Because being a good partner is about WAAAAAAAAAY more than "looking sexy."

Be clean. Be groomed. Care for your appearance. But I honestly say I've never PUT EFFORT into "looking sexy." I look how I do. My SO finds it attractive. Good enough for me. If I'm sexy, I don't have to put a bunch of products to work to "make myself" sexy. I either am, or I'm not. I don't WANT to be with somebody who doesn't find me attractive in my natural state. If anything, slapping on a fake package (full face of makeup, push up bra, etc.) is far more the figurative fresh, red hamburger wrapped around grey meat. I don't have any reason to throw a bunch of fake stuff on top to conceal what's inside. A guy who doesn't find me sexy as I am needs to be with somebody else. Fortunately, that's not a problem, in my life. And I guarantee that no amount of gas passing by either party is or has ever been a hindrance in my relationship.

That's rude whoever does it. It's not more rude or less rude dependent upon gender. It's EVERY BIT AS RUDE if a guy does it.

As a male (I'm a Caucasian male of Jewish background), I don't care at all if a female (woman or girl) farts, whether audibly or silently or whether odorous or non-odorous. It is a simple biological function that you and all other humans and other species possess as well . . . which tells us that our physiology is working the way it is supposed to work. One doesn't go out of their way to do so when in the company of the opposite sex or friends or relatives (unless it is a willful source of humor between all of you), but if it happens, it happens and I move on to the next preoccupation. I wouldn't care if it even happened during sex. I can't hold a woman to a standard that I myself cannot guarantee to live up to.

To the OP: You say "When a woman farts in front of me, it's a TOTAL turn-off." You mean to say that if the absolutely-gorgeous Kim Kardashian (for instance) was willing to be with you and make out with you and make love with you and she farted (either accidentally, inadvertently, or even willfully), you'd think she was any less of a sex and love goddess than she is? Really? I'd be thanking her and showering her with kisses for just being with me at all! Heck, I would just about eat her doody to be with her (not literally, but you know what I mean). If she is appealing to me personality-wise and sensuality-wise, how is her passing gas going to make her any less appealing (or her having her period, or her having a stuffy or runny nose, etc. etc. etc.)? And for ANY woman that I appreciate and admire and find attractive or acceptable enough to want to be in her company in the first place, if she happened to pass gas, I would totally blow it off and move on from it as a passing event (no more impactful to me than her sneezing). Just as YOUR OWN audible or inaudible sounds and your YOUR OWN resultant odor dissipates, so will hers and then she is as clean as a whistle (just as you would be when it passes).

AND
, my friend, if you hope to be involved with a woman as a significant other (either boyfriend/girlfriend, or intimate and affectionate partners, or a cohabitating or married couple for that matter), you've got to learn to accept her IN TOTALITY (if you found her acceptable enough in the first place to choose to be with her in the first place) and continue to find her appealing IN SPITE OF her body performing its natural functions (and likewise for her attitude towards you as well). IF I'm going to be turned off to a woman, it will be because of her developing a maladjusted or inappropriate or wrongful personality or character or attitude . . . or if I become turned off to her physically, it would be if she doesn't maintain good hygiene and overall acceptable-enough aesthetic appearance otherwise (and I expect her to hold me to the same standards). As to her looks, if I'm with her in the first place (instead of not choosing to be with her in the first place), then she must have already met my minimum standard of acceptable sensuality for me to be with her in the first place. Her passing gas, under ANY circumstance, is not going to turn me off to her outer beauty or sensuality at all. If I want you, babe, I WANT YOU! So bring on the farts, the periods, the stuffy or runny noses, and everything else and please, please stay with me!

Then again, I am from Flushing, Queens, NY (where we live for the toilet), so perhaps I am predisposed to accommodate our lower bodily functions. I suppose it goes with the territory.

So there we were, sitting on the porch after an evening of BBQ and beer. I was polite - I sat on the metal chair and let our guests sit on 'the comfy chairs'. Well, we are talking and laughing and having a great noisy time, when I casually let one rip. It echoes off of the metal like a hammer off of a bell. Our friend Tom stops in the middle of his sentence, looked at me, and said, "I didn't know women could fart! MY mother and sister have NEVER farted!"

I looked at him owlishly and deadpanned, "So, what? You think we get to 50 and blow up?"

Sadly, thanks to my lupus, I have had over 1/3 of my colon die and have to be removed. So now I fart frequently and with great enthusiasm and relief.

I was always taught that the proper thing to do, for both ladies and gentlemen, was to pretend that another individual's fart never happened, was not heard, was not odiferous. If you haven't been raised to behave properly and politely, uproarious laughter and smartazz comments are far preferable than turning up your nose. You don't know what problems other people have, so judging them on a mere involuntary gastric disturbance is rude and immature.

Oh, and my DH and I have been married for 29 years, and we still think the other one is 'sexy'. Of course, 'sexy' to us is honesty, sharing a sense of humor, cuddling, respecting each other, and caring about and for the other spouse. Go ahead and base 'sexy' on physical attributes - and prepare to end up alone. At 80, few men OR women are physically 'sexy' no matter how much perfume, makeup, toiletries, or even surgeries they have.

YO! Newsflash buddy! Some men are way beyond the mentality of needing constant "superficial" glamour in a woman. It doesn't matter WHAT I'm wearing or whether I'm dripping sweat from every pore of my body, because I'm splitting and stacking wood...I turn my man on! He thinks I'm sexy....PERIOD. He still thinks I'm absolutely beautiful and hotter than hell. When I decide to get cleaned up, meticulously put on the makeup and style my hair...well, then I"m over the top.

Truthfully, he's a little smug about it. Many people don't get to see what HE knows I look like when I'm going for "sexy". He knows it's there. I used to get dolled up all the time, early in our relationship and frankly, he was jealous as hell, because guys were constantly hitting on me. He's a lot happier and more content with the down-to-earth, plain-clothes me.

There's a saying: "In middle school, everyone thinks they're 10 years older than they actually are"

I think there's some truth to that. I remember me (and my classmates) thinking we were so grown up in middle school.

In my experience, 8th grade was when people stopped finding farts funny
Yeah, judging from the tone of your many posts...you're a fantastic judge of what's funny and/or fun and what's real.

OH hell, if I'm all by mySELF and let one that would rattle the neighbor's windows (across the street), I giggle...some people simply have a sense of humor. Some....most certainly do not.

Yada yada ad nasaum. Guys... If an attractive lady smiles at you, she is not flirting. She wants you to pull her finger.

Gas happens. Get over it. There are settings where decorum and propriety is necessary.

I dont even care about it being "funny" or 'lighthearted' or anything. I dont think its funny really.... Just kind of corny and silly in my mind, but to each his own -- Im sure someone who thinks its a riot to sit around sharting and ripping ass all over the place wouldnt last long in a relationship with someone like me anyway, so to that end we could each thank our lucky stars we discovered the incompatibility and move on. We simply wouldnt have the same sense of lowbrow humor if she was that easily amused. She could go find someone who digs it or finds it cute or whatever, but there wouldnt be any kind of mutual interest from me.

People who don't find farts funny are really inhibited. Farts are funny. Maybe not in a movie theatre or while you're at a job interview (your son is on line toot), but at home, with your family....come on...

Um I don't think it's cute when a dude farts, it freaken stanks. But I'm not so uptight and a prude to scoff at one who accidentally does it. Not only that I agree there is a time and place for it. If I was going on a date and he cuts one, I would then think, "Oh my god what a pig!" But if it's been 3 months and he shoots a bunny and then he is like omg I just did that in front of her, I would yes laugh. Shat happens. More important things to worry about then passing gas here and there.
