“I love seeing what her poop is actually like, the color, the consistency, imagining what it smells like and what it tastes like. I like watching women and couples using shit as part of sex, masturbating with it, shitting on each other, smearing it on each other, shitting in each other’s mouths, eating it.”

This is how a Reddit user explains the sexual pleasure he gets from his scat fetish. While it sounds gross to many folks, scat play is actually a popular BDSM kink among those into extreme sex and bondage.

In this fetish guide, we explore feces fetish and give you a crash course in its development as a kink.


What Is A Scat Fetish?

Coprophilia or scat fetish is arousal around the process of pooping [1]. Some enjoy watching people go to the toilet, while others want to smell feces, watch it come out of the anus, touch it, or in extreme cases, taste it. In addition:

  • Some feces aficionados are aroused by defecting on others.
  • Others are excited by the embarrassment of watching people defecate in their pants or on another person.
  • Some want to have feces rubbed all over their body.
  • Others want to put on diapers and walk around feeling the poop squish around.
  • Many are not interested in any real-life contact with fecal matter but enjoy the occasional scat porn.

 


Why Do People Like Scat?

Scat fetishists can usually be divided into the following categories [2]:

1. BDSM Dynamics

For some, it’s a powerful way to explore a BDSM dynamic. There’s not much more dominant than making someone feel, smell or somehow interact with your shit – and not much more submissive than going for it.

2. Evolutionary Adaption

In our evolutionary past, not minding some poop may have helped propagate the species. Back in the day, we did not have soap, and we did not have toilet paper, and many of us could only bathe rarely. As a result, engaging with some level of poop may have been a regular part of sexually interacting with someone. For the continuation of our species, it may be necessary for folks not to mind, or even enjoy, some scat eating.

Perhaps as another evolutionary adaption, your disgust reflex significantly decreases when aroused [4]. As a result, behaviors that would have grossed you out normally may not sound too bad when you’re excited. Similarly to when you’re watching some weird porn, and the second you orgasm, you are like, WTF, many that enjoy scat fetish only enjoy it when they are already turned on.

3. Childhood Experiences

Scat play can also develop through early childhood experiences. Our parents may teach us pooping is a gross activity not meant to be discussed or explored around others. Eventually, we learn how to wipe our bums and take control of our poop. However, we may get sanctioned for talking or jokes about poo in public.

Being taught that feces are naughty may lead some folks to eroticize them, especially if parents shut down conversations around pooping. It’s complex because the sensation of relieving ourselves is generally positive, and it also takes place very close to our genitals. Still, it’s also considered naughty and, in some families, a forbidden topic to discuss.

Therefore, it’s logical that with the mixed messages, children may eroticize the experience.

@Coprophilia from Reddit explains:

“I find scat to be unique in a sense that I can relate to from childhood experiences. After much introspection, I can look back to many points of my young to adolescent life where I was humiliated in some way involving scat (shitting my pants in front of people, fascinated with diapers, enduring the repercussions of untreated celiac disease for about 12 years, etc.). Some people forget and move on, while others can become obsessed and mutate that obsession into a sexual fetish. That seems to be what I have done (in my own sort of diagnosis).”

4. Classical Conditioning

Scat fetish could also develop through classical conditioning [5]. In classical conditioning, the smell, taste, or sight of an object triggers a behavioral response. With fetishes, it can often be the sight or smell of an object that can trigger a sexual response.

For example, with scat fetishes, an association may grow between the scent or sight of poop and a sexual response. It can stem from early childhood experiences or adult experiences (after my partner poops, she wanted anal sex).

Say your partner is in the shower, and they accidentally urinate or poo on you during a sexual encounter. This one erotic experience may begin to pair arousal with a scat fetish. Therefore, exposure to shit during a sexual encounter can lead to the development of a fetish in some cases.

5. It’s Taboo

For some people, the arousal of exploring a scat fetish comes from the taboo of sharing such a private act. A user from Quora shared:

“Yes, I love watching a woman poop; actually seeing the poop coming out of her is incredibly erotic. I love seeing her butthole open up and the shit sliding out. It’s such an intimate act, one that we usually share with no one. We hide so much of ourselves from the world, and when someone exposes themselves like that, I think it’s beautiful and an incredible turn-on.”

Similarly, we are often raised to think of women as non-poopy creatures. Justliketowatch explained:

“A long-standing cliché is the typical male opinion of “girls don’t shit.” It’s just so hard to imagine, right? Everything we’re fed about women (outside of porn) from an early age is how pretty and perfect they are. Can you even imagine someone like, say, Angelina Jolie taking a dump? It barely computes, right?

 

Well, it turns out girls DO shit, and there’s evidence of it all over the web. There is definitely a child-like curiosity that I can’t deny, to see that which is so completely unspoken of in polite society. Even now, I can’t sometimes believe my eyes when you see it.”

 


How Common Is Scat Fetish?

Justin Lehmiller did a study exploring how common it was for someone to have ever had a scat fantasy compared to fantasies involving other bodily fluids.

The results show that 6 % of folks had a fantasy involving scat. Hence, it’s a less common fetish than the number of folks who have had fantasies involving blood (9.5%), breast milk (31%), urine (32%), spit (54%), squirting (76%), and semen (79%), but more than those who have had a vomit fantasy (3%).

Despite its relative infrequency, scat fetish does have a vast online community. For example, there is a dating site called scatsingles.com (Warning NSFW!) and a site to find a play partner called scat.com. In addition, there are tons of discussion groups on Reddit and FetLife that are dedicated to exploring scat fetish.

 


Is Scat Play Safe?

Scat fetish, of course, has some hygiene concerns [3]. The safest way to play with scat involves proper protection, such as latex gloves and dental dams, so the fecal matter does not directly contact anybody’s mouth or genitals.

In addition, when playing with poop, it’s essential to be particularly careful not to have feces come in contact with the vagina because this type of bacteria is the prime cause of UTIs and vaginal infections.

Eating feces has some health risks, although eating yours is safer than eating others. Eating someone else’s scat can increase the likelihood of developing parasitic, bacterial, or viral infections, including viral hepatitis, among others.

However, sex is risky, and for some folks, the enjoyment is worth the potential risk. If direct contact with feces is important to you, I recommend first having your partner get tested for STIs and only engage if you have a solid immune system that could fight off potential infections.

 


How Can You Explore A Scat Fetish?

Shit fetish can take many forms, but this response from Quora explores how folks can stumble into scat play.

I had her bent over my bed, eating her asshole from the back. It tasted amazing. However, this time, I noticed it tasted a little better than normal and a bit tangy. I quickly discovered as I continued to tongue her asshole deeply that my girlfriend needed to take a shit. But I kept her eating her asshole, and she kept moaning louder and louder as I plunged my tongue deeper and deeper until I actually could feel her shit against my tongue!

 

I didn’t know what was going on and why I was enjoying this so much and not grossed out!!! I continued to tongue her fat booty and relish in the deeper and stronger taste I was receiving than normal. She was very much into what was happening, and I’m pretty sure she knew her asshole was full and that my tongue was literally licking her big log while it was inside of her asshole.

 

She was moaning uncontrollably, and her pussy was literally dripping wet. As I continued licking her asshole, I found myself actually sucking her butthole. Harder and harder, almost as if I was trying to coax something out of her.

 

As I continued my sucking campaign, something came over me, and I whispered to her these words, “push, baby.” Without saying a word, she reached back with two hands, pulled open her beautiful curvy ass cheeks, and began pushing on my tongue.

 

I moaned. She moaned. We both knew what was happening. It was fucking amazing. Fireworks were literally going off. She continued pushing and I was sucking. When suddenly, I felt this enormous turd push between my lips and into my mouth!!!

 

It slid in effortlessly, and my cock was throbbing, and I was actually near an orgasm. I thought it would smell bad and be awful, but it wasn’t. It was absolutely amazing!!!

We can learn what we desire and where our boundaries are through exploration. Take your time when exploring a new fetish. Remember, you can explore some fetishes through fantasy and porn – not all of them need to take place in the real world.

A couple having a discussion.

If you choose to explore, talk to your partner about what they are comfortable exploring and anything off-limits. Perhaps show your partner the porn you enjoy and what component of the exploration excites you.

Is it the intimacy of the act? Is it the power exchange?

Depending on your desire, the first step of real-life play can take many forms. For some folks, engaging in rimming can be an excellent first step. Perhaps your partner can not shower before, so it’s not clean. For others, anal is a good first step, as some scat can play a role. You can even try going to the bathroom without wiping and then playing around.

Scat is one of those fetishes that may be difficult for some folks to understand, and finding an interested partner may not be easy. Many folks have to use the Internet to find others who share their desire or hire a sex worker to explore this part of them.

Remember, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with you for having this desire. As explained above, many logical reasons can lead to its development, and if you’re safe about it – there’s not too much risk in exploring this fetish.
