A fart fetish, or eproctophilia is a paraphilia or attraction to the sound, smell, or act of passing gas (flatuence). People with this fetish find excitement or arousal from hearing a fart, from the idea of farting themselves, or from the specific sounds or smells associated with it. They often incorporate farts into their sexual experiences.
The fetish can vary greatly from eproctophile to eproctophile. Some eproctophiles may be attracted to the art of farting in private or public settings, while others may enjoy the interaction between partners who fart or talk about farts in a sexual context.
Although it is not widely discussed, like other fetishes, it exists as part of the diversity of human sexual preferences. Some experts believe it is caused by traumatic childhood experiences. The tabooness and social stigma may contribute to the development of the fetish for some individuals. It is important to note that having a fart fetish, or any other fetish, is not recognized to be a disorder. If one with eproctophilia wants to get rid of it, they can get professional help. One of the most common ways to treat eproctophilia is cognitive behavioral therapy or negative reinforcement.
There are no major studies specifically focused on fart fetishism, but it is considered one of the many forms of sexual interests that can be classified as a paraphilia, which refers to unusual sexual preferences. Like many fetishes, a fart fetish typically becomes more noticeable in adulthood, though the specific causes or origins of this interest are not well understood.
As with all sexual preferences, the key to a healthy experience is mutual consent, respect, and communication between individuals involved.
