Arse
This is (I think) strictly a man thing.

Something arcane happens to a man's bowels in his mid-late 30s. Something deeply mysterious and not at all nice. As children, my brother and I marvelled at the sheer toxicity of our father's rectal output - he had his own lavatory into which only the foolhardy or mad would dare to go. It stank of decomposing vegetation ALL THE TIME. The stench of his anus had actually permeated the porcelain, rendering the room a 'no-fly zone' for all but himself.

My brother is now nearly 40, and has remarked on more than one occasion that he is heading the same way. He, though, seems to derive some kind of twisted pleasure from his emissions.

I am terrified that I must be next...to be the keeper of that most poisoned of chalices....

Just like the older generation
I can and do talk at length about my bowel habits, but bizarrely in the last few months my arse has cleaned up its act a bit.

My farts used to be stuff of legend, but recently, I've hardly dropped a ripe one at all. My girlfriend is most appreciative of this state of affairs, and so am I for the most part, but I do miss it on occasion.

Perhaps you are
some kind of flatulent Benjamin Button character.

I've started to plan my farts
If I want to be truly evil, meatball marinaras tend to make me produce the most vile farts I've ever smelled. I only discovered this fact when I was on a packed commuter train. I didn't realise that people would actually be willing to attempt escape from a moving train.

Sweaty ring
Vaguely related; as I get older I seem to be developing an increasingly sweaty ring. Is this common, or should I be concerned?

I know what you mean
It's increasingly common for me to have leave the room for a bit, because of one of my own emissions.

Especially first thing in the morning.
