Eproctophilia

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki




Eproctophilia (occasionally eproctolagnia[1][2] or flatulophilia[3]), colloquially a fart fetish,[4] is a paraphilia in which one is sexually aroused by flatulence.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11]

Etymology

The term eproctophilia is formed from three parts:

The terms "eproctolagniac" and "eproctophile" were introduced by Jacob Edward Schmidt in his Encyclopedia of Erotic Expressions and Naughty Bits in 1984.[12] The term eproctophilia was coined by the sexologist Brenda Love in her 1992 Encyclopedia of Unusual Sex Practices.[5]

Characteristics

For an eproctolagniac (flatulence fetishist), some points of attraction include the smell, sound, and duration of the fart. A 2013 case study by British psychologist Mark D. Griffiths of Nottingham Trent University, published in Archives of Sexual Behavior,[13][14][15] documented an eproctolagniac, under the pseudonym Brad, with a preference for acrid, sulfurous, deep-bubbling farts that emanated through fabric.[13][16] Most eproctolagniacs are more aroused by the person farting, rather than by the farts themselves.[17][18] This may include an attraction to the visual appeal of the buttocks, the anus, or both, given that flatulence is expelled from that region of the body. Some people with eproctophilia incorporate flatulence into dominance/submission play.[19] Eproctolagniacs are said to spend an abnormal amount of time thinking about flatulence and have recurring intense sexual urges and fantasies involving flatulence.[20][21][22] It is a form of olfactophilia[23] and may also be considered a subtype of acousticophilia (sound fetishism).

Some eproctolagniacs may like the taboo aspect of flatulence.[24] They may also view the act of flatulating in front of a significant other as an act of intimacy and breaking down barriers.[25][26] In general, relationship experts have described passing gas as a sign of comfort.[27] Some anecdotes suggest eproctolagniacs have a voyeuristic attraction to seeing women flatulate,[28] particularly because of the gender pigeonhole that positions women as not supposed to flatulate publicly.[29][30][31][32][33] Some report that when a woman's farts are especially repulsive, the schism between societal expectations of ladylike decorum and bodily disgust is intensified, and this juxtaposition heightens their erotic response.[13][19][34]

Cultural and social

Several fictional depictions of erotic flatulence appear in the Marquis de Sade's unfinished novel The 120 Days of Sodom, written in 1785 and published in 1904 after its manuscript was rediscovered. One episode describes a character who "knelt down before that decrepit bum and kissed it lovingly; farts were blown up his nose, he waxed ecstatic…,"[35] illustrating the use of flatulence as a sexual stimulus.

James Joyce, the renowned Irish author, exhibited eproctophilic tendencies, as evidenced by his intimate correspondence with Nora Barnacle.[36][37][34] James Joyce's erotographomaniac letters to Nora Barnacle from 1909 revealed his fascination with her flatulence, as he expressed a desire to hear her "tiny little naughty farties" and described them as "fat dirty farts".[38][39] He noted that Nora's flatulence with each thrust heightened his erotic arousal and claimed he could pick hers out in a room full of flatulating women.[40] Joyce went on to write in his letter, "I hope Nora will let off no end of her farts in my face so that I may know their smell also."[41]

Internet

On Clips4Sale, an established fetish porn site, flatulence fetishism ranked as the second most popular category on a global scale in 2024.[4][42]
