Some humour, and much more dramatic reactions than I'd expected. Never did I presume that it was not okay to fart during a session, and I think that got lost in translation. I was more interested if people would feign something to let it go, or if they'd just loudly/proudly let it rip. Obviously there are no wrong answers, the interest was just seeing what other people would do, like grizzly and PierreCoeur provided.
Plenty of conversation about this with significant others too, but I can't imagine that being of any significance. I don't know a single person who holds farts in front of their SO.
What can I say? Some people's answers just stink when they start taking their shit so seriously ?
I had an Uncle in Chicago who had this strange sense of humour and gave new meaning to the Windy City. My brother and I were about 10 and 9 when we went to visit him.
We were in downtown Chicago and my uncle had his very Conservative and Religious Brother In Law with us. My Uncle pointed up to the top of a building and said to us to look up there. He do you see that guy on the ledge up there. Oh my god what is he doing? Soon there were about twenty or so people around us as he pointed skyward.
At the moment a crowd assembled my Uncle let one rip really loud and immediately started scolding his Brother In Law asking how he could do such an embarrassing thing. People gave his brother in law a real dirty look as they cleared the scene. I have never seen anyone as beet red as that his brother in law was on that day.
My brother and I were hooked on crass humour from that day forward and pulled a similar stunt during a university exam. Only in that instance my brother let one rip and I vocally blamed the star defense end from the University Varsity football team.
So the answer is, it is always okay to fart as long as you blame the other person including who you are in bed with.
