Humans eating shit!
Sexual aspects :
Coprophagia is extremely uncommon in humans. It is
generally thought to be the result of the paraphilia
known as coprophilia, although it is only diagnosable in
extreme cases where it disturbs one's functioning.
Similar risk can apply to related sexual fetishes, such
as anilingus or inserting an object into the mouth that
recently has been in the anus (see ass to mouth).
Coprophagia is also sometimes depicted in pornography,
usually under the terms "scat" or "shitplay".
Medical aspects :
From the medical literature, coprophagia has been
observed in a small number of patients with dementia
and/or schizophrenia and depression.
Consuming other people's faeces carries the risk of
contracting diseases spread through faecal matter, such
as Hepatitis A, Hepatitis E, pneumonia, and influenza.
Vaccinations are generally recommended for those who
engage in this practice. Consuming one's own faeces
could have potentially harmful consequences as the bowel
bacteria are not necessarily safe to ingest, though it
is not as risky as eating a partner's faeces |
