the Bear SG

no partner now..

but in the past when i had one.. uhh.. yes to all.. Razz

ShrodingersCat SG

Oh yes.. hehehe also share.. how long before you had ur first fart together...

Just wondering you know.. cos I have friends who put on makeup before they meet their partner (before marriage) even though they've been together for years... as in the 'He has never seen me without makeup before."

breytonhartge SG

yes to all the above and then some... hehe Very Happy

Rhonda SG

Hmm... there are certain things on the list that I'd never do in front of my partner. Razz Stuff like poo-ing and pee-ing in front of him! Razz Just can't imagine doing that! Laughing

But, with everything else, I've seen my patients do it. Twisted Evil

Kan_i SG

Hahahah i am game.... i am very comfortable with my partner and vice versa.
I do draw the line at certain things though, even if she is comfortable with it
Which i can not list lol.

Apart from the "wiping mucas with hand" i can say yes to pretty much all of the above.

Well as they say love is blind Mr. Green

Hahah u guys think that list is bad.... try 1 for a baby!!!!

Rhonda SG

Laughing

Surprise! There are already folks admitting to doing ALL those things here! Wink

For me, I can never do some of the things in the list... I mean, it's not necessary to do that ... whatever for? It doesn't make me feel more intimate if I do that! Razz Some stuff should remain 'mysterious'. Laughing

Some stuff should be done during one's alone time. Stuff like shaving your armpits and etc. Razz Shoo! Shoo!! Papparazzi out da door... it shall be done only in my presence alone! Twisted Evil

Kan_i SG

Laughing

Crying or Very sad thats what i say all the time.... "some things should remain a mystery"

Anfield Rocks SG

Yes to everything, so I guess we're pretty comfortable with one another. Very Happy

Rhonda SG

Laughing

Yeah, like what they say in the US after the influx of talk-shows prompt people to become more open and divulge more personal details readily, ''Too much details!!''

If my spouse poos in front of me, I'll start to see him like one of those patients I care for at work!

ShrodingersCat SG

well...heheheh I'm pretty comfortable with my partner cos.. hmm having met each other first in a trekking environment where we got to be pretty open about body functions anyway, you don't have much to be embarassed and squeamish about.

Even with other girls, going to poo is a communal event where we chit chat while doing the necessary purging. There is nothing that bonds people more than toilet humour *ahem*

I think it is not so much proving a point to purposely DO things like this with your partner but rather, having to live together with someone, it gets rather inconvenient if you value your privacy a lot or are squeamish about such things.

I honestly will go mad if I live with a squeamish guy who can't stand looking at me shaving my armpits or farting or don't dare to buy sanitary pads for me or whatever. More than that, I guess I will also find it difficult to imagine him looking after me if I fall badly ill or old - what if I become incontinent (used in the Lacking normal voluntary control of excretory functions meaning of this word)? Of course it and when such a time comes, I won't ever want to be a burden to him.

Heheh and as for preserving my mystery - I suppose my eccentricity does the job for me. Anyway women doesn't need to put effort to be mysterious, men will always complain " i don't UNDERSTAND them!' anyway!

ShrodingersCat SG

eh repeat post. why har

Kan_i SG

Women farts? Realy? Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked

Hahaha i believe "Men not undertandinf women and women not uderstanding men" is a whole different topic.

Rhonda SG

No, leh! What's wrong with living together but each cherishing their privacy? Afterall, everyone needs some amount of private time, the amt of time required varies with individuals. I'd go crazy if I don't have my alone time. I'm just wired that way.

Just cause I won't do some of the stuff that's listed also doesn't mean that I'll be any less intimate with my special guy than someone who does. It's just different strokes for different folks.

choco B SG

I admit, I'm squeamish about a few things. There are boundaries to what I can tahan. We're 6 months old and we can do most of the listed items in front of each other.

All except pooping and farting. Pooping is strictly behind closed doors, and the room becomes a no-entry zone e.g. if the business is done in kitchen toilet, the other person auto-avoid the kitchen too Laughing

This has to do with the mentality of "your poop is smellier than mine!"

Same goes with farting - "your fart is smellier than mine!" We avoid farting in the same room But I've sneaked a fart or two under the covers with him none the wiser. Embarassed Razz Which proves that mine is not that smelly, right??? Laughing

But all others, we're ok heheheh. Admittedly, he is probably more tolerant than I am hahaha (But as above, that's cos his is smellier Mad )

I've pondered about ShrodingersCat's point about looking after each other's bodily functions before. Would we have problems cleaning up after each other? I think this is one of those bo bian things, activities that you will adapt and carry out with good grace because there is really no other choice under the circumstance. One does it out of love and duty. Just like how a person gets grossed out by baby's puke, yet when he/she is a parent, cares for the baby without complaint, and wears the sour milk scent around him/her nonchalantly like perfume.
