Why Is It That Farting …
… is (usually) so satisfying?
I suspect that this mainly applies to men, but not exclusively so – a young lady who was interviewed on the Carlos Mencia show specifically said that she wished she could fart in public.
Is it the noise it makes?
Is it the vibration it creates?
Is it (for some people) the smell?
Is it the feeling of warmth that often accompanies them (but not the searing heat of the Vindaloo after-burner, which is a different thing all together)?
I realise this is a gross subject for many people, but it is, after all, a natural bodily function, and no matter how careful you are with your diet (e.g. you don’t eat beans or cabbage), you can still have the occasional attack of flatulence.
Clearly, if you’re in the middle of eating dinner, then a smelly fart is at best off-putting, and at worst stomach-churning.
But there are those farts that are mainly just noise, with little after-shock, as it were.
Why are those deemed impolite?
If you have a theory about why farting is so satisfying, then please post a comment below.

I”m actually trying to find the answer to your last question and my theory is that farting is only satisfying for men because of the prostate massage they provide on their way out.
I would also submit that the biggest and the more vibrations the fart generates the more satisfying for the vibrations might propagate back to the prostate again.
I”m not a doc and I”m myself trying to figure that one out so if you do end up figuring it out, let me know.
That”s an interesting theory, and I would tend to agree that the more vibrations, the more satisfying it is.
I think it might also be to do with duration too – longer ones are more satisfying than short ones, but that too might be to do with the prostate massage.
I guess we need a doctor to provide their input to this one.
