(NSFW or even weak tummies) Is coprophagia really done?

(NSFW or even weak tummies) Is coprophagia really done?

Some of you may recall a video called Two Girls One Cup that went viral not so long ago. This link just goes to a Wikipedia article telling more about the Brazilian movie, not the movie itself. But seeing a mention of it got me thinking about the movie, and what is so graphically displayed in it. Coprophagia obviously interests a lot of people. A Google image or video search for the term, or the more commonly used “scat” (short fo scatology) will turn up thousands of hits assuming you hae your X-rated filter turned off) will deliver a $hitload of sites.

So I wondered, is this just the stuff of fantasy or is it something a significant number of people really do? If it’s real, how safe is it? There are a long list of diseases and parasites one could acquire in this way. But aside from halitosis, this is a manageable risk. A good checkup would rule out the presence of serious diseases or parasites. But a healthy intestinal tract also has an assortment of friendly flora and fauna. While we actually need these bugs in our intestines, the story may be quite different if we stuff a megadose of them into our tummy.

What’s the truth of this perihelia? Do people really do it? If done with all the safety switches turned on, how safe is it?

Is there anyone here who has ever played scat games?

Yes, it really is done. For some reason, many people like defecate on each other. It’s just another one of those miserable fetishes out there. There are actually some in the EXTREME BDSM world that use this filth as a form of humiliation. If you hang around some sites like 4chan, you’re bound to see many pictures and videos of people actually doing it.

Fun Fact—It’s actually rumoured that Adolf Hitler had a scat fetish!

Oh, and the people who usually do it don’t really care about their health. It’s pretty gross.

Why, oh why, is this in my Questions for You?

@KatetheGreat Thanks. Hitler liking it would spoli the whole thing for me.

@Vunessuh Ha! Sorry about that, but at least I did warn that it was not for those with a gag reflex linked to mental images..

Oh I’m willing to bet that there are people who do this. However coprophagia revolves around the consumption of fecal matter, while ’‘scat’’ involves doing a lot of different stuff with feces, besides eating it. (smearing it on yourself or someone else, shitting yourself, stuff like that)
You probably shouldn’t be fooled by pornography, I doubt that most of it realistically illustrates what people with real poop fetishes do, or at the very least, present what it’s actually like. There is real stuff you can find out there on the net, but it isn’t anything like Two Girls One Cup. I’ve seen some and it’s really different.
Your Wiki article does indeed say that while humans may approach coprophagia with a sexual angle, many times it’s mainly attributed to animals, and they do it out of natural function, like rabbits for example, and when it is with humans, it’s something else besides sexual release. I don’t have many details, but I think it’s often attributed to mental disorders. Eating poop because you believe it will achieve something and what have you. But it CAN be a sexual thing, although in most cases that are sexual with that, it doesn’t involve eating, or at least not much. Most people don’t actually swallow it. I’m sure you can build a tolerance to it though, like you can with human blood, which the body will totally reject the first times you drink it trust me XD
Now I’ve never eaten poop before, but I’m pretty sure you can get sick from it if you ate it. This is stuff that your body is releasing, so obviously, if you eat it, the body will fight back and make you puke. It’s not doing that for nothing. But don’t quote me…you can drink urine and be fine, I read this whole article on that. A lot of stuff in piss can actually be healthy, especially the first morning piss. Well, apparently.
As for bacteria in poop, I’m thinking that if you kept it down without throwing up, your digestive system would probbaly be able to destroy it, but I don’t really know what kind of diseases you can get from it, so don’t quote me. I think unprotected anal sex is probably a lot more dangerous when it comes to poop. Anyways, eating poop…not something someone should be doing without knowing the facts, if this is something that they were really interested in trying.
Yes people do this, (have fetishes with poop, and sometimes eat it) but don’t stick to porn as a main source of info, not a very good idea.
I have this thing where I occasionally run around online and try to find as many different fetishes as I can, but I usually don’t retain much actual important information, but hopefully this helps a bit.

@Symbeline Thanks for the info. And not to worry. I put porno sites just slightly above Republican campaign sites in the level of truth they offer.

Okay,I just emphasized on that since you mentioned 2 girls 1 cup lol. XD

Slightly off topic, but there is now a medical procedure that revolves around introducing poop to your intestinal tract.

ETpro's avatar

@augustlan They need an introcuation? I thought they already knew one another. :-)

I always said some people are full of shit!

As with everything insanely weird, there are of course people who do it but this is kind of like the question about the mothers that drown their children and what goes through their minds…I cannot fathom what train of thought you would have to have before deciding that you’d like to be shit on.

I’ve heard that eating one’s poop often goes hand in hand with mental illness.

Also, I’ve even heard of one case… (super gross out warning)…..

This woman would poop and then shape it into a dildo, pop it in the freezer, and a few hours later masturbate with it.

KateTheGreat's avatar

@YoKoolAid Well she sounds like a fine modern lady.~

@Vunessuh – probably because you follow me :-p

Don’t ever see The Human Centipede.

Berserker's avatar

Still haven’t managed to get a copy of that…

HungryGuy's avatar

It’s available from Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/Human-Centipede-Ashley-C-Williams/dp/B003L20IEC for $13 if you’re in the States…

Hey—could one hundred billion flies be wrong?

ETpro's avatar

@ucme I think most all of us are. It just seems some people need regular refills. :-)

@deni I can understand it. From a masochistic viewpoint, nothing could be a stronger statement of servitude and acceptance of the dominant love object. Same goes for the dom. What greater testament could they expect and leave their submissive alive to play another day?

@YoKoolAid Seems like it would be tought to get hot with something that cold.

@HungryGuy Having a movie like The Human Centipede out there suggests there are more than a handful of people that at least think about this.

@ratboy Ha! Perhaps you have a point.They’ve got more votes than we humans do.
