The ubiquitous political polls tell us that President Bush’s reign is far from popular. Similarly, his cohort in Britain is suffering from equally dismal figures. Yet whilst important, such findings are almost inconsequential when compared to the recent discoveries of television programme ‘Trivia no Izumi’.
Dutifully translated and kindly published by What Japan Thinks, the in-depth current affairs show found that a whopping 43% of Japanese husbands had to suffer the indescribable discomfort of hearing their wife break wind in only the first year of marriage.
As the pie chart above graphically demonstrates, Japanese ladies appear to simply fart for fun; with nearly half of them practically pumping their way through the first year of marriage. Equally unsettling is that a staggering 29% couldn’t even manage two years without reeling off the odd rasper.
That’s not to say the poll – which interviewed 1000 Japanese husbands – doesn’t offer a slight glimmer of hope though, as a disappointing but still significant 12% of wives never upset their partner by emitting an audible bottom burp.
However rather sadly, the poll didn’t include data on the infamous ‘silent but deadly’ variety of discharge.

sounds like a load of hot air to me
I dare say that 12% are not telling the truth with the answer of “never.”
Thanks for picking up my post! I see it’s got as far as Boing Boing now. I enjoyed your write-up of it and I’ve added your blog to my BlogLine sub.
Funnily enough, I was just thinking last weekend I ought to stamp my logo onto my pie charts, but never got round to it, so now I missed my chance of getting my graphics onto B-B. おしいぃ…
I do it all the time!
My mom always told me that “Girls don’t fart” so the first time I heard one it threw my like into a frantic tailspin.
Actually it is 72% which couldn’t wait two years before letting one loose. You have to add the 29% to the 43% who already did it the first year.
This doesn’t include the statistic on how many foreign boyfriends had to suffer through their Japanese girlfriend’s flatulence while standing atop a love hotel bed.
I have a worn and used panty sales site, a very frequent request from customers looking to buy my panties is ‘Can I fart in them first’..
Donna
Wait, so what’s wrong with farting?
How long do they wait before shitting on their husbands faces?
Mine wanted to be in the 12% group for sure, but farts in her sleep.
I’m grateful that they took the time to investigate this. The unanswered questions concerning Japanese wife farting has been like a monkey on my back for years.
FYI
This is funny and quite suprising with how long it took.
My (Japanese) fiance, for her part, seems to find it liberating to fart in front of her husband-to-be. Oh, that and she laughs her ASS off every time she does it.
At the same time, my (White American) mom did the same thing ever since I could remember. They got separated after about 25 years of marriage.
This is incredible…I’ll have to look to see if there’s anything about French women here!
OMG!…the Ad for Google above, when I began this comment, is a link to “Dog Fart”, “Proven Natural Remedy For Cats And Dogs With Intestinal Gas”. ha x5!
Well, I’m, um, “relieved” to know that Japanese wives break wind. I thought only us American wives were helpless, hopeless windbags.
Farting is awesome!
I dare say 57% lied and only the 43% of the first year spoke the truth.
Man, woman or child everybody farts!
I can only see two possibilities:
57% of the Japanese husbands is lying
or
57% of the Japanese husbands is deaf
That’s a good one Johnnie!
Hey, even the Korean government is interested in the Japanese Farting Issue, it seems:
