Ok as you wrote "farting in front of your partner" (or anyone) as in just ripping one is just not polite. Excuse yourself and go into another room. But if it's too late, light some incense, open a window and spray some air freshner. Don’t keep discussing it…it’s human, but it’s gross. Always take good manners into account when dating, when you live together or if you are married, continue that path. Wash your hands, put the toilet seat down, brush & floss your teeth, make yourself smell pleasant, shave, shower, and shine instead of going the "poop and fart" route show the person you are with that you respect yourself enough to project a positive, clean image.

This is a question I never thought to tackle on my blog, but I do think it's legit. I can honestly say that my husband of 24 years has never farted in front of me. But when he goes into the bathroom and closes the door, all bets are off. It may sound like the shelling of Baghdad, but my job is to pretend I'm totally unaware of any intestinal distress. I think this problem plagues guys much more than women for some reason....could be diet, but I doubt that explains it. In any case, you are to be commended for considering the sensibilities of your overnight guests. I wouldn't worry too much though--it's never a deal killer unless the guy lets them rip with pride. P.S. Thanks for the plug to Hooking Up Smart. You are a sweet, sweet boy. Yay, what a pleasure to wake up and read funny Jon Ray!
