What is behind your whippet?

June 01 2016

'Behind the whippet' is picture of a painting called "Lovers" by James Needham, depicting the painting of a couple, in their bathroom. The man is on the toilet, holding a book, while the woman stands by, brushing her teeth. It has been said that the "Artist sums up marriage in one painting". There is a bare bum, if you need an extra reason to look for the painting. I'm curious... a) Do you think this is a good depiction of the intimacy of married people? Can you picture you and your partner in this photo? and, orb) What one picture could best capture a/your long-term relationship?

    ... one single painting by any artist that can capture the full scale of the intimacy between a man and a woman that are committed to each other. That said, I was reminded by this painting of a silly limerick .... The honeymoon is over And love's a dying flowerWhen he walks in and takes a dumpWhilst you are in the shower! I guess in real terms, I am a bit more of a romantic and as always would be guided by the respect for one another's space and privacy regardless. If I may suggest both an artist and several paintings, this being one... albeit for me is quite classic. Women in the Garden by Claude Monet Oh well, arts or farts? Just don't forget to take a good book with you! Damn no wonder the dog looked like it wanted to do a runner!

    Was the journalist's words for the article - it's being picked up on the web at the mo. I admit, I was totally sucked into a click bait, and had a different picture in my mind of what I was expecting. MidnightCruisin ... are you telling me that Women in the Garden by Claude Monet is a painting that encapsulates your idea of partnership? Is it your wife's fragrant bouquet you're burying your nose in?

    Quoting 'PepperRose' MidnightCruisin ... are you telling me that Women in the Garden by Claude Monet is a painting that encapsulates your idea of partnership? Is it your wife's fragrant bouquet you're burying your nose in? ...although as a French impressionist, Monet is open to a variety of interpretations. Cezane did some brilliant work as well in that period of masters yet far more difficult to transpose into thought...a bit dark and obscure for my liking. I am not married so certainly not my wife, PR.... yet the essence of a woman will linger on forever. I'll happily put my nose wherever it goes! Best.......

    SOME people have said of me..."That c^^^ thinks his shit doesn't stink"Let me tell you....I KNOW mine does.... in an overwhelming way..I didn't pick my nickname myself..I THINK a caveman.. I generally look like one, I have the habits of one and I eat like one.I don't bother washing my hands BEFORE I EAT, after I have been in the garden, under my ute, or stripping a pump or any other thing at work..If I drop something I am eating on the road or floor or footpath, I pick it up and continue to eat itI have flora and fauna in my gizzards that would SCARE a biochemist.... and I swear... when I shit --I doubt there is a person I know who could stay in the same room... LET alone clean their bloody teeth through the aroma...

    I don't know if it is a female thing or not. My last partner of 10-years would go to the toilet and leave the door open. My current partner of only 5-months now does the same thing. It is nice (I think) that she feels so relaxed or comfortable that she feels she can go to the toilet and leave the door open, but I do not really want to see my sexy woman scraping her rear end (or front) in front of me. Close the door.

    There are some lines that aren't meant to be crossed... Don't get me wrong...if due to an illness or accident I'd have to wipe my husband's ass...I would do it no worries at all... I love him without limits and would do whatever it takes to look after him.. But if it's not a necessity...😳 We are individual beings and there's no need to share EVERYTHING! Some things just meant to be private:) Luckily he feels the same way

    the Da Vinci painting "Lady with an Ermine " says something about the state of Da Vinici's patrons marriage . He was Ludovico Sforza Duke of Milan,known also as the White Ermine. The painting is of Cecilla Gallerani,the Duke's mistress,she is holding a white ermine in her arms. It's a very beautiful painting of a very beautiful woman Q

    why I always look for a separate toilet with a door in an ensuite when house hunting or building. In theory the setting of him on toilet and her brushing teeth is intimate. In practice, would it be your choice? I have lived it and that is my reason for separate ensuite and toilet. I can love my partner and share many intimate things without having my olfactory senses assaulted. Apart from hygiene implications of toilets flushing excrement particles into the air and onto the said toothbrushes. YUK! LG ps Cavey... love your work ...lol

    I enjoy Klimt and more so considering the use of gold leaf in the painting. As for Van Gough, it seems he never did ''listen'' to his critics! American Gothic by Grant Wood is a trip... wonder what that stone-faced old boy got up to when the sun went down as his wife does look a tad worried? My favourite painter is still my son... I was out cutting in the squares on a garage door with dark blue paint when he popped in from around the side of the house with a paint brush in hand and where I'd parked an old collectible Lincoln? The car was ivory and his paint a dark blue.... all I could do was look at him and laugh when he pointed to his auto artwork and said ..... ''My helped''. Water base paints are the very very best thing ever invented!

    Be that much comfortable to leave the toilet door open while I'm in one! 😛 I always feel embarrassed to be heard or seen for doing business #1, let alone the #2, in front of a partner, no way! Besides, I cannot go at all, even if I was busting to explode, if a partner was standing in front me wanted to see me pee, eeeerrrrr, no thanks! 😬 - Posted from rhpmobile

    My ex & I experienced a pivotal point in our relationship when we drove from QLD to Vic for the first time. With so many long hours on the road, the trip was dubbed the "Farts and all" trip. Up until then we had both refrained from doing such things in each others presence, but we weren't stopping for fart breaks, so it was wind down the window and let her rip. That was when we got our whippet. 😀😀

    touch ... Don''t worry, it's not about art. The image went viral and lots of people were saying it described their relationship / intimacy. I was a lil surprised, and so I was curious. Personally, I don't aspire to being so intimate with someone that I would happily hang with them as they poop. Summer, I have a little print of The Kiss at my desk. I love it. I'm currently about at Banksy's Lovesick, (sick of love) but if I was aiming for relationship I'd aspire to Jan Saudek's The Violin Lesson, 2001, (just kidding) or his The Bond of Love No. 1 (not really). I do really love the imagines of John and Yoko from the late 60s, especially one where they are sitting against a wall with cups of tea beside them, and a broken plate.

    Was like that. It still ended. When you've been through a lot together that small stuff doesn't have any meaning anymore. By small stuff I mean toileting with them in the room and creating children and having him watching child birth changes things completely. You share all of you. Would I do it like that again, would I want that again? I don't really know.

    I wee in front of partners and some close friends - girls or guys. But nothing else. No no.2 or replacing tampons. In the first week or so of sleeping with my BF he woke up one morning and he wanted to fart. He said if you were my wife I wouldn't hesitate, I would fart on your leg right now. I said you can fart out the window thank you. He didn't do it, and now he is no longer married. Lmao! 😝

    I had a fb just recently on his first sleep over which was our third time together go to the toilet with the door wide open chatting away happily to me as I put my hair up and brushed my teeth for bed. Yes it's a seperate room (toilet and bathroom each have doors) they are side by side and I didn't think anything of it. I don't actually know what he was dojmg as I didn't ask but he was sitting down. He did comment when I closed the door to pee he thought that was silly after he had just been studying my pussy intently and had it squirting everywhere. Each to their own I guess, we are all comfortable with different things. I am looking forward to holding a friends cock while he pees though as he promised I could ☺️

    I'm with Ms B, no biggie for me! Ive seen friends push out babies, I've nursed sick siblings/parents, as far as I'm concerned, our bodies need to do whatever they need to do, and if you're comfortable, so am I :) I won't 'share deliberately' but I do remember when I had my hysterectomy! I couldn't go to the toilet, felt like I was giving birth to something and I couldn't sit down either! Bathroom visits were fraught with tears and tripidation and I never thought I'd need help but I did! The only way to use the bathroom was to go standing up! Pretty hard to do when you're trying to not keel over in pain, so hubby held me! I'm sure he didn't sign up for that but hey, it is what it is! And when you have kids, everything you do is shared lol! I try to get ready in the mornings for work and guaranteed on any given morning, I have one of my kids sitting on the lid of the toilet seat talking to me as I put make up on, brush my teeth etc! Lastly, my hubby sits in the ensuite watching me shower as often as he can? 😜 That's not normally a problem is it? I think not :) Mary xx

    I was going to reply with quote but it was too long. You know I don't ACTUALLY want to get married ffs I'm not even divorced yet now will you stop calling me Willis, and who are you calling hairy? I actually get off shaving. Who else shaves their nether 3 times a day ? Now how can I drag this back on topic. So what if I was in the shower shaving.............again..........and my imaginary partner was on the toilet reading a book.........it would still stink, even though he's imaginary the mind is a powerful thing and why? Why do men read a book on the toilet? One theory is they hang out in there long enough to avoid family demands. While he sits and thinks or sits and stinks lol his wife has made the kids breakfast, packed their lunches, chased them off to brush their teeth, helped them do their hair, finish homework or hit the roof because they haven't done said homework, very stressful affair usually. And what is he doing? Having a nice quiet sit and think, enjoying a nice article, well the book probably doesn't have very many articles, and he can't get in trouble for being lazy, he's just going to the toilet right? So my take on this or my view on that couple would be that I'm glad he's not my husband, first reason is obvious, but add to that lazy for reading a book and taking his time over a 'job' that should take all of, oh let's see, 5 seconds at best, if not I'd be going an enema I would think he's gotten a little bit tooooo comfortable in the marriage, time for her to look for a new model

    I have in the past played hey darling can you come here for a minute but my idea of a good marriage has boundaries and that said a woman should always keep secrets esp toilet habits. I believe in a woman who makes you crave to know her secrets but never allows you in this case to see or smell them. My ultimate woman would make me crave to know her but never lay cable in front of me that's a hell no from me or fart in front of me!!! - Posted from rhpmobile

    I have no issue with the sort of 'intimacy' that comes from holding your lovers hair while they vomit, or even when they need help and you put your fingers all the way down their throat n have vomit all down your arm... I'll very happily hunt out blocked pores or pimples... Those are all just about helping out a loved one. But I personally find nothing special or desirable in going to the toilet in front of a partner, or them doing same in front of me.

    Quoting 'I_shave_myself3' I was going to reply with quote but it was too long. You know I don't ACTUALLY want to get married ffs I'm not even divorced yet Oh grasshopper you have many many things yet to learn. 👲who are you calling hairy? I actually get off shaving. Who else shaves their nether 3 times a day? Yeti? Chewbacca? Caveman? How many guesses do I get?I was once with a girl that was pretty fuckin hairy, I didnt really notice it until we went camping in the mountains and she was away from mirrors and 3 phase power for over a week. Oh my fucking god she had fanny hairs longer than my dick fur fuck sakes! I tried to lighten things up for her with a few jokes but these seemed to only inflame the situation further. Crikey all I said was "nice mohair stockings they perfectly match your set of coconuts" and one morning I jokingly told her not to leave the tent lest she frighten the wildlife, that didnt go down well, but the last straw came on the last night as we were sitting by the campfire when I picked up the guitar and started strumming "Click go the shears boy click click click" The situation got a little bit hairy hahahaWoooops, solly, off topic again :S🙉🙈🙊

    Water sports can be fun... and I welcome a helping hand to take over the aiming... It is erotic and educational... "See, it's not that easy to aim it." 💦😕 But No 2s calls for discretion. And what is it with guys that HAVE TO share their farts? No...it is not a male bonding thing whereby your mates appreciate it. You are a disgusting, thoughtless pig. Go elsewhere. There are guys here onsite that seem to save them up for the office, the bus, the plane. WTF.
