Fetishes and kinks are often stigmatized as perversions. This is mostly due to society’s pathologizing of everything that deviates from norms. They are seen as signs of trauma or mental illness. This isn’t always the case, though.
Scat play can be extremely sensual and sexually exciting. It is also very taboo and controversial. It is categorized as a paraphilia in the American Psychiatric Association’s DSM-IV.
It’s a fetish
Fecal matter is a taboo subject that most people find disgusting, but there are also those who are sexually aroused by it. This fetish is called Coprophilia, and it involves the smell, taste, and sight of fecal matter. The fetish can be done on yourself or with another person. For example, you can use a frozen poopcicle as a dildo and perform sexual acts on yourself or your partner. You can even eat the poop if you like.
Psychologists have a few theories about how scat fetishes develop. One theory is that people who have fetishes or kinks develop them in response to trauma or neglect in childhood. Another theory is that people who have fetishes are deviant and psychiatrically diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or depression.
Behaviourists argue that fetishes and kinks are the result of classical or operant conditioning. For example, Pavlov’s experiments with dogs demonstrated that certain triggers (i.e., a bell) caused them to salivate involuntarily. The same can be said for scat fetishes. When scat fetishes are learned in childhood, they can cause sexual arousal and pleasure in adulthood. However, some people have fetishes that are not sexual and do not cause any distress.
It’s a taboo
Scat fetishes challenge one of society’s most tightly held taboos about faeces and can be a very intimate and sexual experience. They generate an overwhelmingly negative reaction in others and are generally reviled as much as non-consensual sex and pedophilia. Some fetishes include playing with, eating or being shitted on. Others involve poop toys or igloo making. These activities may be performed alone or with partners. Those who have this interest are known as coprophiliacs or scatophiles. It is a form of sexual paraphilia and can be extremely transgressive and even dangerous. Playing with shit or consuming it can cause serious infections, including parasitic and bacterial ones. For this reason, it is important to use protection such as latex gloves, plastic wrap or dental dams. It is also advisable to wash with soap before and after play. This is especially true if you are planning on consuming the shit of another person, which is called coprophagia or coprophagy.
There is not much research available on this topic, but there are some theories about why people develop scat fetishes. These theories are based on behavioural, cognitive and evolutionary perspectives. Some of them suggest that a fascination with dirty objects and/or defecation stems from a desire for autonomy. Alternatively, it could be related to obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is also possible that a scat fetish stems from the olfactory system and is associated with sexual pleasure.
It’s a kink
A fetish is a sexual interest in an object or body part that is outside of conventional sexual norms. Kinks, on the other hand, can be an action or sex act, and even a dynamic between partners that is outside of normal sexual behaviors. These are referred to as ‘non-conventional’ practices and can be found in many subcultures.
For example, some people have a foot fetish and get turned on by touching, licking, and smelling feet in intimate situations. They may also feel arousal from interacting with their feet during sex. There are a number of different fetishes that revolve around feet, including hebephilia or attraction to adults; pedophilia, which is a more severe form of hebephilia; and infantophilia, which refers to a sexual preference for toddlers.
Another kink is the desire for power play or a sense of humiliation and degradation. This can include a variety of actions, including shit play, and is usually consensual and non-coercive. It is important to have a conversation with your partner about the types of kinks that you both enjoy and the boundaries you want to set.
Another kink is roleplay, which involves playing a character during sex. Some people like to take on a role such as a librarian or student and experience intensified pleasure from stepping out of themselves. This kink can also involve playing characters in groups, such as threesomes or group sex.
It’s a fantasy
Fecal fetishes tend to be met with disgust and suspicion, but they can also inspire sexual arousal. They can be a normal part of a person’s kink, or they may be a sign of underlying mental health issues. However, scat play can be safe and healthy when it is done properly. It is important to know your boundaries, and make sure that you have the support of a trusted friend or therapist before you engage in this activity.
People who have never experienced scat play have the impression that it is messy and gross, and that these people are psychologically disturbed. They also worry about the risks of STDs and parasitic infections. They do not realize that scat porn is not the only way for people to experience this pleasure.
Many people with scat fetishes try to hide their interest because it is viewed as perverse or criminal. They may even be afraid to tell their friends about their obsession, fearing that they will react negatively. This can lead to a vicious cycle of self-hatred and shame, which makes the fetish more compelling.
Scat fetishes are so common that experts have even coined a term for them, coprophilia. It is classified in the Psychiatric Manual of Mental Disorders under Paraphilia Not Otherwise Specified (PNOS). Other fetishes include feet, statues, and feces.
