Blowing in the wind

Following on from much earlier posts about male hygiene decreasing when living with a partner and in a marriage, the above diagram shows the typical male's farting behaviour from the earliest stages of a relationship.

In the very early days of a new romance, he is on his best behaviour and farting in the woman's company is completely out of the question. As time passes, he may risk easing one out in a noisy, busy and/or outdoor location. Occasionally he will be caught out, but if he is judicious, he can always blame someone/something else for the unseemly waft.

Unfortunately for the woman, the man will eventually arrive at a point in the relationship where he feels he can fart with abandon. This point is marked by "C" on the graph above and marks his entry into the relationship comfort zone. Although tricky to negotiate, this point can not come quick enough as far as a man is concerned. The rear floodgates open and soon he ramps up to maximum performance which, unlike other functions, he can impressively maintain for many decades!
