What are the consequences (positive, negative, and/or neutral) of holding in a fart for an extended period of time (about 2-3 hours)?
For example, one might be in a very important meeting when one can't release anything for fear of a fart noise.
By the way, I'm not talking about small farts; I'm talking about when you've just had a large baked-bean burrito for breakfast and lunch.

Now, this is worst case scenario, and not documented due to surviving family embarrassment. Butt, you could hold in a fart so long that eventually your rectum will come exploding out of your body. Obviously, if your in a quiet place, you will hope that it kills you before the embarrassment sets in. If you don't die right away, certainly you and your friends and family will have a big laugh with small parts of your colon and sphincter stuck to all of your faces. That is, until the blood loss causes you to pass out, at which time you will stop laughing. Everyone else will probably keep laughing until they notice you are really dead, though.

It will find a way. What tends to happen is people hold it in an then the need to cough or scratch their body or hair or have their mind on something else. That will then result in it coming out uncontrollably and louder. Just leave the room or let it out slowly. Consiqueces vary by person and includ sharp stomach pains, constipation, diarri=ea. Just leave the room.

Hi Ocean, I would say,trying to hold in a fart that long,If you can,I would think you would end up crapping all over yourself.I think i would prefer,To let it out,and worry about it later.Just hope it's not 1 of those real stinky 1.LOL

There will be a very long, loud, wallpaper peeling, bowel clearing fart later on in the day.
The relief will be immense (for you).
Anyone else involved may not be so understanding. If you carpool, try to share with your friends.

you can get very serious pains. if it is a big one try 2 let it out silently but dont keep it in. if it stinks try not to laugh or it will give it away that you did it. but plz dont keep it in. it will just get worse if u hold it in.

A very severe cramp and upset stomach. Not fun. Leave the room if you absolutely have to.
