How Comfortable Are You With Your SO?
Ever since I moved in with my SO, it's been an adjustment and relearning period for the both of us. He's never lived with any person of the opposite sex before (besides his Mom) so there's this whole "oh no, girl-in-apartment-now, what do I do?" wide-eyed feeling for him. Not to mention the learning of each other's personal little quirks, schedules, and daily behaviors.
It can be a lot to take in at the beginning. Especially when you have to go. And I don't mean #1. Early on, I'd just hold it in and wait til he left the apartment and do my deed in a hurry. He'd go at work or the gym or anyplace that I wasn't at. Slowly but surely, however, we've gotten comfortable enough with each other and with ourselves that we can "go" in our tiny NYC apartment (with extremely thin walls) even when the other person's present.
There's no way, however, that I'd ever be comfortable with me taking my porcelain cruise and him walking in to brush his teeth or take a shower. If I'm in there, keep out! It's my space for those precious minutes! I don't know how some of my girl friends are okay with that. I even have a girl friend who had her SO sit there and hold her hand while she was having diarrhea. Ummm... gross?!?! Or does that mean that that guy is a total keeper?
Recently, I had another girl friend proclaim on Facebook that she was going to have a farting contest with her SO. The rules? They both get to eat their personal worst gas-inducing foods (dairy for him, garlic for her), lock themselves in their bedroom and release ridiculously unpleasant odors at each other. The first one who can't stand it and has to leave the room loses. I may be comfortable enough doing #2 or accidentally passing gas in front of my SO now, but there's no way I'd be able to participate in something like THAT.... haha.
How comfortable are you with your SO? Would you be OK with them walking in on you while you're taking a dump or vice versa? How about participating in a farting competition?

We're cool being stinky, smelly, and natural with each other. We keep it decent, though. I prefer bathroom time to myself, except a few shared showers here and there and the occasional I-need-to-pee-real-quick.
ummm...i can fart in front of mike, but i'd never have a farting contest with him. nor would i let him in the bathroom while i was doing my business. as i've always said, bathroom time is privacy time.
i know of one couple who were so comfortable with each other that they played "battle shits" together... for those of you who don't know, that's when you both take a dump and see whose is bigger. definitely not hot.
there's comfortable, and then there's just plain disgusting.
I don't even like it when my mom walks in the bathroom when I'm in the bathroom at my parents' house, so I definitely wouldn't be comfortable with my boyfriend walking in on me.
My boyfriend and I do have burping contests though, and one of my exes and I used to have burping/farting contests. My ex once let one rip so bad that I actually had to run out of the room to throw up haha. Horrifying at the time, hilarious now.
oh god, no. there's a certain place where we draw the line. he's now comfortable enough to fart without abandon when i'm around. i'm not fond of this relatively recent development. we poo when the other one's in the apt (although i try to avoid it...) we'll pee in the same room if the other one's in the shower, but that's the worst we've done.
we shower together all the time, but i don't really see that as gross. we do it to save time/spend more time together etc.
idk. there's comfortable and there's gross... i guess everyone's limitations are different.
I wouldn't let anyone be in the room while I was doing #2. not even if I was married to them. Thats gross and off limits.
I'd never have a farting contest either.
uh....not comfortable to have FARTING CONTESTS but comfortable that if he had to take a piss, i wouldn't really care. Taking a deuce...well, never. I'm not even that relaxed in front of my own brother!
I can only hope i end up with a girl like your friend... (the gassy one, not the one with diarrhea...)
We do all of those things. It's just never really bothered us.
In fact, when I'm "mad" at him, I sit on his lap and fart on him...
He says he loves me for it, lol.
Yeah, my husband and I keep the bathroom door open all the time no matter what is going on. We don't care. It is completely natural for a person to have to go #2 or have diarrhea or constipation or to throw up. And after my husband watched me give birth (which, if you think walking in on someone with diarrhea is disgusting, you have another thing coming with childbirth!) then going poop with the door open is nothing. But it's all about personal preferences and privacy. What is good for one couple isn't good for another couple.
We try to giggle over farts, because you can't stop nature. I get annoyed sometimes, but I know it's not his fault. (We're both lactose intolerant, and we both love cheese too much to give it up; with the occasional vegetarian meal, it's unavoidable.) As for pooping, well, I feel like goofy faces and bad odors are best expressed in private. I wouldn't yell at him to get out, but I wouldn't be thrilled.
Well I'm single now.. but I'd like a relationship where we could be comfortable with each other enough to *poot*poot* and go #2 in the same apt and laugh about it :)
hahaha... i still am not even comfortable farting in front of him. that goes for taking a dump while he's anywhere in the house (okay, maybe i'm exaggerating. a little bit). also, it's not cool for anyone, not even my mom to come into the bathroom when i'm on the pot. the day i can't be alone even to take a shit will be a sad day indeed.
My fiance are so comfortable with each other that we fart to make the other person laugh or jokingly cry out "gross!".
I can't stand when people walk in on me in the bathroom. I don't care who it is. Privacy is very important to me and I don't like when it's violated. =\
No no no. Bathroom time is personal time. If you got to pee or poo you can do it without an audience. I think those things are natural and nothing to be ashamed of, but it definetly ruins a kind of mystique with the other person in my personal opinion. Maybe a pee isnt so bad if the other person is in the shower...but yeah. No pooping. That's just way too much.
We can pee in front of each other, but not poo. We both prefer taking showers separately for other reasons (amount of space we have in the shower/tub, temperature differences, etc.), but it's nice to do it together once in a while. We're comfortable belching and farting in front of each other.
Participating in a farting contest is me just begging to lose. And I don't like to lose.
#2 is totally and completely off-limits.I once dug a contact out of my (now-ex) boyfriend's eye for him at a baseball game. One of the most nerve-wracking things I have ever had to do.
my SO and i are pretty comfortable with each other, i mean we take showers together and sometimes walk around completely naked or while he's taking a shower, i use the mirror, though when it's time to use the bathroom for number 2, i'm not going to barge in on his time or vice versa.
Farting is okay, but I still feel bad doing it. I used to have convos with my ex (through the door!) while one of us pooped, but I don't think my boyfriend and I have reached that stage yet...
My husband and I have no problems with sharing the bathroom unless one of us has to go, then you get the bathroom to yourself. Personally I think that when you're sitting on the toilet that you're at your most vulnerable and I completely understand why we don't venture in there while the other is doing their business.
We both fart in front of each other in consideration - meaning if we were in a tight space or small room we'd leave the area to save the other person from suffocation. We like to shower together but rarely do because of difference in schedules and because we have kids that one of us always has to pay attention to. He would never poop in front of me though. Funny, because you'd think a guy would be more comfortable than a girl to poop in front of his SO.
I fart and pee with my boyfriend present but he can't pee or admit to needing to poop. I'm not sure why. I even tell him when I've got the liquid shits and the like, and so does he, but only after the fact for him.
well im very comfortable with my bf .....
we shower together sleep naked together peeing,,,,ahhh yeaa he was in the washroom when i was peeing lol..but ..not poo.........kekekeI don't think I'd want my boyfriend walking in while I'm doing my business but if he did, I wouldn't be flip. But I'd also be like, Ummm . . you couldn't wait till I was done? and Ask him to leave or something.
I don't really fart in front of him, but he finds it comical to fart, ON me. Or waft his silent but deadlies in my direction. I'd say I'm most comfortable with him than I am with anyone really. He's even talked to me about my 'girl' stuff. Which I would have never felt comfortable discussing with any of my ex's .I don't know, we get each other and have been around each other for so long, especially in the beginning that we basically are each other in some ways. It just takes time to progress with the comfortability levels !
@AHS2JK@xanga - same here girl..
i call my bf..the wandering puppy =))
