Taboo or not?

How were you people raised to feel about burping? Was it heavily frowned upon in your household/culture, or casually accepted?

Just wanted to get a feel for how our upbringing affected our sexuality!

Always has been a rude behaviour that one shouldn’t do. For your interest, yes, I think it may has some connection to my fetish to it

I was taught how to burp on command by my dad, who was taught by my mom. My family was always very gassy, so in the house it’s fine. In public I was obviously taught to use manners, but as I got older I stopped caring as much since it’s not a fart and won’t linger lol

Was it hard or uncomfortable to grow up with family members who were unknowingly partaking in your fetish?

Well it’s not a fetish for me, at least not the act of burping. I’ve always enjoyed it and I loved doing burping contests, but it was never in any way other than fun. The part that I enjoy about the fetish side of burping though is attention. That might sound vain, but after being told so many times that “no man will want someone who belches all the time”, finding a community of people who actually love and appreciate it is nice.

I’ve probably said it a thousand times by now but anyway… for some stupid reason (surely because my dad is a slob, so I don’t want to associate him with sex because it’d be fucked up) burping is taboo for me, like it totally changes the way I perceive anyone if I hear them burp/fart, I always avoid doing noises while burping , I just exhale air, and I wouldn’t befriend people that burped loudly and nonchalantly, although it would turn me on like crazy.

Interesting! I guess I shouldn’t assume everyone on these forums has it as a fetish! It’s cool that you’re cool about it :slight_smile:

So you’re saying you wouldn’t befriend someone that burps out loud, even though it’s stimulating for you… why is that? Does that stem from a place of shame about having the fetish? Let me know if my misreading what you wrote!

Oh because I don’t actually like rude/slob people in general, dudes that behave like slobs or dumb cavemen turn me on so much, but that’s it. I’m really like kinda uptight sometimes, once I was with a group of friends and friends of my friends and we were having dinner at a restaurant (not a super fancy one, but the mood was like “familiar style fancy” not a bar or just some cafeteria at the highway) and some of the guys just let out some loud belches and I swore I got so fucking angry and embarrassed at the same time, mainly because some of the other customers started looking at our table with disgust. And the worst part was that some of the people I was eating with started laughing like dumb monkeys. Anyway… they ruined my fucking dinner. I think my despise for burping/farting is just repression idk, like how many extremely vocal anti gay guys are just repressed men. Oh and btw burping/farting is just one of my many kinks , luckily I don’t have any fetish.

I feel you. And I have it somehow similarly. Although I enjoy Yohanna Nogueiras video where she burps in public, I wouldn’t want to be in that situation in real life. I’m a very peaceful individual and I believe our feitshes and desires should not and can not participate with people that don’t have anything to do with it. Burps are enjoyable and desired for me in the bedroom, on the PC screen and in my mind. Nowhere else. People shouldn’t act like morons and annoy with it innocent people that just want to eat in peace.

I agree, even if I didn’t have a burping kink, I would still condemn people being gross in public, those “Burping in public spaces” pranks are the worst, I also can’t stand toilet humor, I feel that when some person burps in command for fun, or just let out loud ones nonchalantly in front of other people, they lose their dignity and part of my respect. Again, not judging and I probably would find it extremely arousing, I’m just sharing how taboo burping is, for ME, but in South America ,in general, it’s the most normal thing ever, and provided you don’t let out some loud belch in church during a funeral service, people won’t mind. I’ve seen classmates of mine while I was in high school , burping in their mother’s faces just for fun during dinner, it shocked me, but I guess some people have different boundaries stablished within their families…

Yup, we are in consensus on that one. And I did not know that it’s that common in South America, that’s a new fact for me. I also don’t like dumb toilet humour stuff like South Park, Scary Movie and this types of movies…In my place (Central/Eastern Europe) it’s considered as rude behaviour and generally it’s quite uncommon to hear a burp in real life. But that could be just my point of view because I don’t really go to bars and places where people drink alcohol in general.

Well, I don’t mean that you are going to hear people constantly farting and burping on the street if you come to Argentina for example lol, just that compared to other parts of the world, being gross is more normalized I think… (which sucks)

Interesting! So you don’t like slobs, but they turn you on!

How do you personally differentiate between a fetish and a kink?

I’m also from South America and I must say I disagree with you about how normalized burping is… in my family and among everyone else I know it was extremely taboo. But perhaps it’s very different for different countries!

I don’t differentiate between kink and fetish, psychology does haha, where are you from? Yeah burping in Argentina is not taboo at all during informal affairs, either between friends, coworkers, academic environments, I just happen to have encountered lots of people doing it with no social slash.
