I eat a pretty high protein diet which has the side-effect of giving me really big ones. Sometime my farties exit my anus with such turbulence that it feels like they could do damage. After multiple decade of farties and lots of other wear and tear, could ripping huge ones give me fissures?

      Eh, it could’ve been funnier if the OP had a communist/socialist/soviet-themed username

      +1 anyways for the attempt, as they say, A for EA(?)ffort, or something

    Once you hit 40 stop doing that otherwise there’s a very high risk you shit yourself. Especially after alcohol and/or coffee

    Seriously speaking, sometimes its fun to let it rip forcefully but you should probably allow to escape naturally to avoid aforementioned torn bungholes.

    Having acknowledged that, 10/10 thread - your prose is rythmically pleasing and we coupd all always do with a poop chuckle

      The problem as I see it, is that I seem to have a volumetric flow rate akin to a whoopie cushion. If I try to let it out slowly, it’s the difference between a foghorn and firecrackers. It’s as if I need a muffler.

    If you’ve had a fissure in the past then enough violent farts could reopen it. Also if you’re taking anything that makes you more prone to tearing (certain medications usually) there’s a risk.

    If neither of those apply to you then you should be fine.

      Is there a tactic I can use to minimize the damage? I’ve tried spreading cheek, but that seems to just pull everything taught and results in more explosiveness.

    I imagine if you have enough fiber, you’re fine. I could definitely see issues if you already have low fiber issues and then go to rip a huge one, it could feel unpleasant. I’ve spent approximately zero minutes in medical school, but I imagine it’s like stomach ulcers and spicy food. It won’t give you the problem, but it can aggravate an already existing problem.

    You make them sound adorable when you call them “farties”

    In my house we call em flappers

    (But also im pretty sure the answer is no?)

      You don’t have farties every now and then?
