Ste is a straight fetishist with a strong sexual curiosity but he’s in a relationship with a woman who does not share or practice his fetish. This is in spite of having discussed his desire for his partner to be more open and carefree about her human taboo aspects like farting. We discuss this dilemma and I talk about remedying possibilities such as opening up the vanilla relationship through ethical non-monogamy, also known as polyamory.  Together we also dive into Ste’s presumed family origins of the fetish for himself and the solidification of the fetish during his time searching for ass-focused pornography while in a sexless past relationship. I also spend some time lamenting Ste’s situation because a lack of open communication and an intimacy mismatch can slowly build into resentment. Ste is not shy about his fetish as he talks about sharing it with past partners and friends.  We also talk about the struggles of overcoming our own or a partner’s programmed and conditioned social norms against taboo aspects of our humanity. Are women generally more inclined to consider these aspects taboo by their nature or is it possible there are many closeted women out there hoping to finally be a little more flatulently comfortable around their partner? A few other topics we touch on include scat, golden showers, the importance of sexual exploration and exposure, foot fetish, relationships in a post-honeymoon period, the fleeting nature of farts, and the classism of taboo. Ste also gives praise to Amy Farts for her continued efforts in being a role model for normalizing female farting.  I hope that positive solutions can be found for both Ste and his partner or for anyone listening who may be struggling in a similar situation with their partner(s).
