Specialty Definition: Coprophilia

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Coprophilia is a paraphilia consisting of the condition of feeling sexual excitement focused on feces, often in conjunction with BDSM or infantilism.

An alternative term is scat fetishism, which shares a root with the scientific and literary term scatology. See also scat.

Some coprophiliacs engage in coprophagia, the eating of feces, which is a highly hazardous activity due to the risks of infection. Note that even consuming one's own feces involves risk, as the bowel bacteria are not safe to ingest.

"Scat fetishism" is featured prominently in some Japanese pornography.

Coprophile activities are sometimes referred to by the euphemism hardsports, presumably by analogy with the use of the euphemism "watersports" for urolagnia.
