    Comedy in general has to be one of my greatest pleasures but I must be about he only guy alive then who doesn't find farts all that funny? Yeah sure the odd one once in a blue moon might make me chuckle if it was done at an inappropriate time for example but on it's own? Nah not really.

    Is it time to post the Blazing Saddles scene where they've all eaten beans?

    My boyfriend is a mammoth trumpeter. A flatulence fanatic if you will. What is worse if that every time he lets out one of his massive f bombs he finds it hilarious. He gets this grin on him as if he has done something brilliant. Like a five year old child. I hate him because of it. I want to sew up him bum and make him stop. Would I get away with murder?

    I need help, I can't stand to be around him any more. :(

    Nuke him from outer space. It's the only way to be sure.

    Add me to it. Maybe the odd smile at an inappropriate one, but laugh out funny, every time? Pass, thanks.

    OP. Just tell him, and walk out for longer & longer periods till you never actually come back. If he can't see that actions have effects he's beyond help anyway, which he is if air biscuits have him rofling. Sounds like a bit of a juvenile to me tbh...

    Ummm OP I think you're dating my ex! :eek::blush: 8 years ago I briefly dated a guy just like him (he was 37). He found constantly farting hilariously funny - especially in public. He didn't care who he did it in front of or where he was, restaurant, cinema, shops, he would let rip and found it hilarious. I found it mortifying but no amount of pleading or threats worked. He once took a picture of his poo on his phone and sent me it.

    I got rid of him and to be honest OP I think you should do the same.

    You got that right. Murder him, OP. With malice. Of forethought.

    tell him no sex until he changes his ways

    using sex as a weapon (or reward) isnt a good idea

    I liked the R.E.M references earlier...

    Did anyone mention track 2 on Automatic For The People?...

    Best advice I can offer really...

    I find farts funny and I'm truly surprised that there are so many people that don't. Luckily, Mr Lakie shares my sense of humour and is also an awesome farter.

    I think OP's boyf should find himself a girlfriend who isn't so uptight about a perfectly normal bodily function, and jolly amusing, especially when in a lift or other confined space.

    If a women can use sex as a weapon against a man, it's little wonder the police prosecute so few men who use sex as a weapon against a woman...

    As for the OP. Ask yourself seriously if this is a problem you can deal with or not. Everyone farts, but not everyone has good manners or respect for others, and people differ in their tolerance of such things, just like going to the toilet with the door open or your partner shitting whilst you're in the bath.

    If you like him but can't live with this, perhaps you need to take a gamble and split up with him, explaining like a mature adult to a teenager why he's just not what you need from a man. This will hopefully sober him up for a second chance after a reasonable gap when you've both reflected on things, but you need to be prepared if he or you find someone else in the meantime. Otherwise, he'll hopefully enter into his next relationship with someone else not behaving like that woman's child rather than a partner.

    In my opinion, his problem isn't the farting, it's the laughing afterwards.

    Kick him to the curb. If he has no respect for you now (and he hasn't) he won't have any in the future.

    Normal bodily function eh? Sneezing, coughing, spitting, urinating, defacating, ejaculation... All completely normal. Laugh a minute though? Toddlers & small children laugh at farts. The rest of the world moves on at about the age of 8 and finds better things to laugh at.

    I don't know why but I always thought Vosne was a woman (maybe it's the feminine-sounding screen-name), so when the posts seemed to indicate that she had shacked up with Never Nude (who I always thought was a lesbian), it all made sense.

    I stand corrected :)
