    Like??!!

    Of course not!!

    there are several chemicals that contribute to the smell of farts:

    skatole (by-product of meat digestion)

    indole (by-product of meat digestion)

    methanethiol (a sulfur compound)

    dimethyl sulfide (a sulfur compound)

    hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg odor, flammable)

    volatile amines

    short chain fatty acids

    feces (if present in the rectum)

    bacteria

    So anybody who likes the smell of the combination of those, likely suffers from a chronic mental disorder.
