Thats a good question, but I would always know I was mine since I would be the one rippin it. The same goes when you bomb a bathroom, the smell does not bother you but if you walk in after someone else has you cant help but pinch your nose. I think its more psycological. Our animal terratorial instinct to recognize another animals oder, be it a stinky or a dump that still lingers, and feel violated.

Mine are no store-bought "own brand" cheap label farts. They`re top quality, bespoke, cordon bleu beauties - all individually flavoured to suit my demanding olfactory nerves.

Other peoples farts are foul, cheap and disgusting.

I don't like my own, so I sure as hell wouldn't like anybody else's.

I mentioned this on another post so this is a repeat but it certainly has bearing on the question asked. I once let a silent but deadly in a room that was occupied by me and one other person. It had an extremely pungent aroma and I waited and waited for the other occupant to say something. Finally I could stand it no longer and said, "Johnny, can't you smell that fart?"

Johnny smiled and said, "I was wondering when you would notice it!"

I had thought it smelled slightly unusual but bearable as long as I perceived it as my own creation. When I realized it was a combined effort of two puckered assholes it rapidly became unbearable.

There`s a book to be written about that, Chief....The Unbearable Likeness of Bung.

Mark mentioned in his article about smelling your neighbors fart. With me, it would depend who my neighbor is. If it's Angelina Jolie, then that's okay. If it's Ernest Borgnine, then that's not okay.

Good question indeed!- This brings to mind some of the scenes I once saw in a movie called Bio-Dome (starring Pauly Shore), where it was a contest for 2 buddies to blast long,stinky farts and the challenge for the other was to behold the odor and deduce what the menu consisted of to achieve such an aroma. Very funny stuff indeed; I too have let loose with some ripe wind which had innocent bystanders wondering just what I had eaten to produce them

Interesting... I also enjoy my very own brand. But other people's farts are just disgusting. My roommate has egg farts every day and it is just vile. I think if I tricked myself into thinking another person's brand is my own, I would probably enjoy it much more than if I knew it was someone else's Poop Ghosts.

I DO NOT like my farts...I am proud to clear a room, wrinkle a nose, or just get a nasty look, but I am more often than not, laughingly disgusted by my expellants.

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.

I always hope that I am in enough control of my asshole that I realize when I've farted, especially in a crowded room. if I am no longer in control of my asshole, the smell of the fart would be the least of my problems.

Well, this question makes me think. I don't mind my farts because they are comming from my own arse. On the other hand, other people's farts are not top of the line, like mine.

If I wasn't absolutely 100% sure it was mine, I could not tolerate it. I have to leave the presence of a an other's fart. Depending on my mood sometimes my own farts really make me "yeck!"

Once I farted right before I walked into a cafeteria and I couldn't tell if I was smelling chicken fried steak or fart and it kind of made me sick. I had to leave and come back later so...

I say its mostly intellectual acrobatics that make it ok to huff your own gas.

Most times it depends alot on what you consumed for dinner the night before, I used to work with some folks who hated the fact that Thursday night was "pork chop night" at my house, as they swore up and down that they could smell/taste pork chops whenever I was around them on fridays. I found it worked best to have the chops smothered in tons of gravy, served with mounds of mashed potatoes and kernel corn, not to mention eating about 3 times as much as one should.
Other particular menu combinations that required warnings to others are a big ol' tub of kfc, or beer and pizza.

I'd put money on it being in the mind. Similarly, most guys will recognize the "gold" that they think issues from their own mouths as the drivel it is when it spews from some other guy's cake hole.

Or from some other guys, fingers there, LJ. Now, what is it that you are rambling on about?

It took me about 3 minutes to parse your first, um, sentence, Deja, but I think I finally got it. That you understood my point (even if you then turned it on me) gives me hope.

I used to fart in the palm of my hand and bring it up to my nose to enjoy. Now I enjoy doing it to others =)

The vegetable that makes my farts the most aromatic is the noble onion. Sometimes we cook a chuck roast and save the meat juices, sans fat, to cook potatoes, carrots and onions in.
I love onions cooked in this manner and always eat several. A few hours later my farts are sweet and rich, but my wife is not as appreciative as she should be.

I think it might be both, physiological and psychological. Physiological because we have memory for odors. Psychological because as soon as one is hit by a foreign fart, one is repulsed. I think its to be compared to an organ transplant. The body rejects organs it doesnt identify as its own. People reject farts that aren't their own. There is no drug to take to accept a foriegn fart. My farts smell sweet like honey when i haven't eaten garlic onions or smoked herring. Chief, LOL, the unbearable melded fart is funny!

sittingpretty.....Your theory of fart rejection could be expanded into a dissertation for a doctoral candidate. I had never given it much thought but I feel that you are right. If science would work from that angle and solve the simpler problem of fart rejection they could later work up to more serious problems like organ rejection.

Gosh, I think we have opened up a whole new area of science and possibilities...

I agree. Expand upon it and submit it for 'Intellectual Crap'. It warrants serious debate!

The day will soon be at hand that the science of fartology will be an honorable profession.

May the stench be with you!

I will have to put it on the TO_DO list. To me, writing is like a fart. I am able to feel or see a picture or thought in my brain that I need to let out(much like one feels a fart building up). Like a fart, it has to be ready and waiting for the release. The thought on fartology as a dissertation will take much time as it is not ready and waiting to come out. br>_______

I for one do not like the smell of my farts--particularly during "that time of the month." My gas has a bouquet of asparagus, carcass and oftentimes, yogurt. It's an odd, unrefreshing blend.

Fartography interests me much more than fartology. I would like to see what the gassiest state in the union would be...

ChocolateRain.....Perhaps you should leave that prognosis up to a true professional. Send a pair of your panties to the Doggin/Thunderbutt Institute and Dr. Doggin will give you an expert opinion.

The gassiest state in the union would depend entirely on what type of gas you are talking about. Tennessee would win easily if judged only on flatulence. If you are referring to gas produced by decaying garbage you would have to look a little further north. We have no garbage in Tennessee, we eat most of it.

If you wish to save a fart for future enjoyment I suggest using a thermos. I know for a fact that the stench will be preserved for at least 12 hours.

If you find an old fashioned glass thermos, you can save the smell until the thermos breaks.

Bilge....The mason jar is handy for drinking tea or moonshine but is second rate for fart storage. The thermos helps retain the heat of the fart thereby retaining a fresher aroma. A cold fart from a mason jar just doesn't quite cut it.

Dildo.....The fart in the thermos was a true story and I think a pretty funny one at that. Two of my Air Force buddies were room-mates and I was in the room with one of them playing cards one day while the other was at work. The one who was working owned a thermos which was sitting on the table as he only used it occasionally.

My card playing buddy, strictly on a lark, screwed the top off the thermos, farted in it, closed it and placed it back on the table. The next day he told me that hours later when the thermos owner returned from work he told him, "Hey Gary, I think something spoiled in your thermos!" Gary of course unscrewed the top and took a big whiff. His reaction indicated that the fart had lost none of its potency.

Haha well Mark, this is gonna sound weird but I can tell the difference between some of my closer friends' farts. If I'm driving and my car if full of people, I can usually pinpoint the origin of a fart. So I think maybe we all have slightly different stinks, and we tolerat our own because its our body and not some strangers arse producing it. But why do we like our own farts? Who knows. But aren't they amazing!

Have you found your humour gland yet Dildo? It is right behind your poostrate gland a little to the left.

Back in the day when my brother and I lived in the same house, I could tell when he was about to drop off the kids at the pool by his farts. It didn't matter where he was in the house as I could smell it through the a/c vents. He would dny farting too.
_______
...And their flesh like dung. Zeph. 1:17

I think it is psychological. Reasoning:
When I was younger, my little sister and I really enjoyed farting and would do it at every chance we got, especially when we were in enclosed areas with our long-suffering parents. We would often try to outdo each other, the goal being for one of us to succeed in really disgusting the other. However, this became harder and harder as we got completely used to each others' farts. Eventually, we actually appreciated and enjoyed each others' gas as much as we did our own. Incidentally, we determined that mine smelled distinctly of horrible rotten eggs, while hers were milder and smelled of wet cardboard. It's been over 20 years, and they haven't changed. To this day, we still recognize each others' farts!
