WHY DO HUSBANDS FART AND BREAK WIND?

Men and Their Farting Ways – Why Do Men Fart and Break Wind Incessantly?

Ha! Now this is one topic that will make all the women sit up, take notice and scream in unison! For only we women know how it feels to live with the myriad sounds and smells that husbands start ejecting from their assholes once we start living together. And only women can understand the pain and agony their fellow comrades have to go through in life, once they are burdened with husbands and their annoying farting habits!

I am 234% sure that the article I am going to come up with will not go down very well with the masculine sex, especially with the species called ‘husbands’, but my fellow comrades will be hooting and screaming with laughter right from point one!

Farting and Breaking Wind

I chose this as the number one annoying habit of husbands as we have to live with the sound and the stench 24x7 and it drives women crazy! In fact, so pissed off I am with this disgusting habit of men that I have decided to urge Ivy League colleges to introduce a subject called FARTOLOGY to investigate into the origins and preventive cures of breaking wind, in the most appropriate and inappropriate of places.

Instances of Farting That Drive Women Crazy

Just imagine how it feels when you are accompanying your husband to a top notch 5 star restaurant or to an elite social gathering at a plush venue……and suddenly your husband looks this way and that……and farts!

Or may be you are asleep at night and suddenly there is that familiar ‘bombardment’ accompanied by a stench so foul that you toss around at lightning speed, bury your head and nose under the pillow and hold your breath till you are gasping for fresh air! And all this while you are still moderately asleep and depending on your automatic reflexes for reaction.

Or may be you have cozied up to your hubby on the sofa on a frosty Sunday evening with a cuppa cappuccino and together you are deeply engrossed in watching your favorite movie on your plasma screen TV. Suddenly the seat of the sofa vibrates a bit and before you can blink, an overpowering nasty smell makes you jump out of the sofa and scurry out of the room, as fast as your legs can carry you. It’s a mercy that you didn’t puke on the carpet!

How do Men React After Farting?

These are only a few conspicuous instances of the relationship between men/husbands and farting. I have also found men/husbands farting while having their breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper; while sitting on the toilet; while passing urine (which means ejecting various forms of excreta from both ends simultaneously) and farting while having sex! The last one takes the crown I guess!

And the most wonderful part – for which all husbands deserve nothing less than an Oscar – is when, after dropping the bombshells with lots of sound and fury and stench, husbands pretend as if nothing has happened and look very innocently at you with wide eyed surprise!

The whole building may have heard your husband breaking wind, but he will insist he has not farted. And if you – the exasperated wife can argue fruitfully enough to the point that your husband finally confesses to his crime, chances are that he will verbally try to prove that farting is a natural bodily process – a natural part of life!

And that everyone farts! He will even prove that you fart as much as he does, just to save his face! At other times, he will just refuse to accept that he has farted and driven everybody out of the room.

The War and Its Aftermath

I have tried various remedies to make my husband stop farting, such as stuffing my husband up to his neck with green, leafy veggies and fruits to regulate his bowel movement; I also make him consume probiotic fiber capsules and psyllium husk which add roughage to the stool and clean out his system; sometimes I even force him to take laxatives.

And whenever it seems that the methods are working and the end to my agony is in sight, my husband drops another bomb through his asshole, so loudly, that all my sweetly cherished dreams are shattered, making me wake up to the rude reality that I would perhaps have to live with this menace, forever!

Why do Husbands Fart?

This is an extremely pertinent question and GI experts will extract $700 from your pocket as co pay to inform you about the causes of farting (after a super expensive gastroscopy that will cost you an arm and a leg) –

  • “Your husband does not pass his stool clearly”.
  • “Your husband needs to clean out his system”.
  • “Your husband has gastritis and accumulated gas in his rectals. That’s why he farts so much.”
  • “Your husband has xxxx number of @#%*&!# bacteria build up in his tummy, hence the farting!”

I am not a doctor and I don’t require the help of fancy tests to figure out why husbands fart so much! They do it, not because it is in their genes, not because it is an illness, not because they haven’t gone to potty. But because they love to annoy us – clear and simple!

I thought farting was breaking wind. Everybody does it... it's a natural process. When you meet the person that doesn't you can write a hub on that and everyone will want to read it.

Delightful to read and I especially loved the reaction of men. If you have noticed, they are reacting just the way you have described in your hub.

I hate it when gas accumulates in my rectals.

I fart and am not ashamed of it 16 months ago

yes, I fart, my whole family farts and it is our natural right. There should be an amendment to the constituion to include freedom for right to fart, whenever and wherever we please.

Come on, don't you fart?

Time to invest in a fartometer to check men's fart quotient

It is bad manners to fart in public or while people are around.Just as it is bad manners to scratch your jock publicly or pick your nose in front of people. There is a place for doing these things - washroom - when you feel the urge to fart - use the toilet.

Farter's exasperated Wife! 15 months ago

I tried feeding my partner lots of veggies and laxative capsules - the herbal types. I thought I would get rid of the problem. Instead my partner's wind-breaking regimen has become more frequent, he farts louder than ever and runs to the toilet 4 times a day! The farting has not stopped and I have to hold my nose every time he farts - such is the shitty smell!!!! Who will save me?

veggies that grow underground and cauliflowers, cabbages can increase gas problems and bloating. proper chewing and digestion of food are very important to stop gas and bloating.

My wife says I am a stinker, a fart king and she hates my passing gas! I guess she is a comrade of your breed

Try to feed a stinker some gas relief/bloating relief/constipation relief capsules. There are plenty of over the counter drugs which claim to offer relief from gas, bloating and farting. What's the problem in checking them out once?

I consider farting in public as a punishable nuisance!

Farting in the presence of others was in my books a synonym of shamelessly loosing one’s dignity and rudely showing disrespect to others. But eventually I conquer my own ego and realized in a non-snobbish way that most men and many women are just more animal than others. My own ‘accidents’ also keeps me too humble to wink an eye in the presence of a farter/belcher. This is a BRILLIANT, well-written hub! I’m still laughing :))))

I think it's a matter of education. Mummies, daddies, teachers, etc. should tell boys they are not the only owners on air, so it's a matter of respect to the others. You can do it outdoors or in the bathroom....but nobody has the right to smell our stinky gases. Besides, take into acocunt that farts are aerosolized poop, so when you are eating and your cute hubby farts...your food is poluted with that crap. Is this fair? Would somebody who really love you want that for you? I've heard husbands who fart carelessly take away libido and romantic aspects of a relationship. Come on, it's time to be adult and take care of the ones around us, the ones who really love us.
