Once you become comfortable with one another there is no turning back. At first, you try to look your best and be on good behavior, but after a while, you find yourself doing and noticing some "gross" things that you probably wish you had kept hidden.
Gross Things Only Serious Couples Can Do Together
#1 It's Hard To Be With Someone New, At First
You pretend you don't have bodily functions like every other human being on the planet, and everything is sweet loving and wonderful. You always put on make-up and wear sexy underwear, just in case. There are always topics you simply just do not talk about. But, before long, you both become pretty comfortable around on another, and things begin to change. You no longer feel like you have to walk on eggshells or pretend you don't use the toilet. Within no time at all you are doing some of these things in front of your significant other that you never dreamed you would. If you can't do some of these "gross" things with your partner then maybe it's not going to work out.
#2 Kissing With Bad Breath
If you've been together long enough, or maybe even not that long at all, chances are that you've spent the entire night together already. This means two things: one, you guys get to experience what you each look like before makeup, hair brushing, and waking up. Two, you kiss when you have bad breath. Of course, you could spend useless time stressing out and waking up a little early to run to the bathroom to brush your teeth, potty, and freshen up, pretending that you just wake up all refreshed. Morning breath happens, and hopefully, you can get over it. At some point, you'll even be in a place where you can be like, "Ew, go brush your teeth" without them getting insulted.
#3 Farting and Burping
Everybody passes gas or burps, actually more than you realize. Most humans pass gas 2-30 times every day. Even though there's a stereotype that every guy does nothing but fart and burp and laugh about those two things all day long, this doesn't always transfer to relationships. A lot of women are grossed out by a man doing this natural act in her presence, and women are always pretending they don't do it at all. The point is, farting and burping are normal, and you should do it in front of bae, because it is liberating and will allow you to feel more human around your partner.
#4 Wearing Old Underwear
In the beginning, you run out and get new underwear or lingerie every time you go out on a date, just in case. You spare no expense and go for the silky, smooth, sexy expensive stuff. But that gets old pretty fast. It becomes impossible and tiring to put on your "good" underwear every single time you two are together, especially if you're together every day. You start wearing the same underwear more than once, and then you get to the point where you stop caring completely. You're even comfortable having sexy times while wearing the granny panties you have that, admittedly, have holes in them. And you still feel sexy, and they're still a huge turn on.
#5 Pooping and Talking About Poop
Talking about poop, in general, is gross, but yes, sometimes it does have to be discussed. It's not going to ruin your relationship or turn your partner off. In fact, it can be liberating. Avoiding the topic, finding excuses to go home when you REALLY need to poop, and having a panic attack if you do it in his/her bathroom is exhausting. Admitting that you're doing it is freeing. And also, logical, because bae KNOWS you poop already, I promise.
#6 Discussing/Dealing With Body Hair
At the beginning of many relationships the girl shaves/waxes every piece of body hair possible before hanging with her significant other, making her seem hairless, silky smooth, and youthful. After a few months or so, things get more real because honestly, shaving sucks and takes a shitload of time. Every couple has that moment where they're hooking up, they realize they haven't shaved in quite some time, and then they shrug and forget about it because they don't care. It is so nice.
#7 Being Sick Around Each Other
Being sick is gross, and you know you're at your total worst physically and emotionally. You're really not that interested in much, including your partner. And the same goes for your SO, they do not want to see you at your worst and certainly, don't want to catch that virus or whatever you are carrying around in your body. But the truth is, if you can make it through the bad times like when the other person is violently ill, then you're doing pretty good in your relationship. If you're really in love you'll just try to be there for the other person when they need that warm chicken soup or their hair held while they throw up in the toilet. The best part is, you'll be adored once they get better.
#8 Being Super Sweaty During Sex
Sex, when you think about it, is quite gross. When you take away the fact that it feels good, you remember all of the exchanging of bodily fluids and rubbing of random body parts together. One of the grossest things about sex has to be when both or one of you get really sweaty, and the sweat gets everywhere. There isn't much you can do to fix this if you are a sweaty person, but the day you stop feeling completely grossed out by his/her sweaty body on top of yours is the day you are feeling significantly more comfortable around each other.
#9 Popping Each Other's Pimples
This is really gross, but sometimes you've just got to do things you don't like. A lot of people get into popping pimples on other people, but that's nasty. However, if your SO has a pimple on their back or in a place they can't reach, it's okay to pop it for them if it bothers you. It's still gross, but also oddly satisfying that you feel that at ease with your partner.
#10 Talking About Periods
Despite happening to every woman out there, periods can still be a taboo subject when it comes to relationships. There are girls who have avoided hanging out with a guy if she has her period just so she doesn't need to explain it to him. "It's that time of the month" is easier to say than "I have my period." Some women won't even let their boyfriends see that they carry tampons with them. This it seems, is one of the hardest things for couples to discuss than anything else combined. Get over it. Everyone knows females have their periods.
#11 Having Period Sex
Sometimes you really want to have sex, but you have your period. So... why not have period sex? Once you get to a point where you can talk about menstruation, the period sex point isn't too far after. It might sound gross, but it's not at all, and most long-term couples have done it, even if they say they haven't.
