Russian coprophiliac erotica depicting defecation on a sleeping victim, one definition of the term “Hot Karl”

Coprophilia (from Greek κόπρος, kópros 'excrement' and φιλία, philía 'liking, fondness'), also called scatophilia or scat (Greek: σκατά, skatá 'feces'),[1] is the paraphilia involving sexual arousal and pleasure from feces.[2][3]

The 120 Days of Sodom, a 1785 novel by Marquis de Sade, is full of detailed descriptions of erotic sadomasochistic feces-eating.[4] The 1975 film The 120 Days of Sodom based on the novel also depicts coprophilia.[5]

A table in Larry Townsend's The Leatherman's Handbook II (the 1983 second edition; the 1972 first edition did not include this list) which is generally considered authoritative states that a brown handkerchief is a symbol for coprophilia in the handkerchief code, which is employed usually among gay male casual-sex seekers or BDSM practitioners in the United States, Canada, Australia and Europe. Wearing the handkerchief on the left indicates the top, dominant, or active partner; right the bottom, submissive, or passive partner. However, negotiation with a prospective partner remains important because, as Townsend noted, people may wear hankies of any color "only because the idea of the hankie turns them on" or "may not even know what it means".[6]

Originally the Mineshaft (1976–1985) had a room for coprophilia, but it was soon abandoned as too extreme.[7][8]

One of the best-known shock videos, in itself and for the reactions its graphic content elicited from viewers who had not seen it before,[9][10] was 2 Girls 1 Cup, the unofficial nickname of the trailer for Hungry Bitches, a 2007 Brazilian coprophilia pornographic film produced by MFX Media. The trailer features two women defecating into a cup, taking turns in what appears to be consuming the excrement, and vomiting into each other's mouths.[11] "Lovers Theme" by Hervé Roy plays throughout the video.[12] Around mid-October 2007, video-sharing sites including YouTube were flooded with videos of the reactions of first-time viewers.[13]

Sex scenes depicted by Bill Schmeling routinely involve BDSM with an emphasis on bodily fluids, including coprophilia.[14][15] [14]

American musician Chuck Berry recorded videos of himself urinating on and engaging in coprophilia with women. In one video, a woman defecates on him after he says "Now it's time for my breakfast."[16] He was also sued for videotaping dozens of women in the restroom of a restaurant he owned, which has been identified as being motivated by his coprophilia fetish.[17][18]

The Cleveland steamer is a colloquial term for a form of coprophilia, where someone defecates on their partner's chest. The term received news attention through its use in a U.S. Congress staff hoax email and being addressed by the United States Federal Communications Commission.[19]

Hot Karl (also Hot Sasser) is sexual slang referring to one of several purported acts involving feces. It variously means an act of defecating on one's sexual partner, defecating on someone who is asleep, or defecating on someone's face while covered in plastic wrap.[20] According to psychologist Anil Aggrawal, it is a synonym for a Cleveland steamer and is part of a coprophilia vocabulary that also includes the Dirty Sanchez.[21] The term was adopted as a name by rapper Hot Karl.[22]

Dirty Sanchez is a purported sex act which consists of feces purposely being smeared onto a partner's upper lip. The New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English says, "This appears to have been contrived with the intention to provoke shock rather than actually as a practice, although, no doubt, some have or will experiment."[23] Columnist Gustavo Arellano of ¡Ask a Mexican! contends the term evokes the stereotypical mustache of a Mexican.[24][dubious – discuss] The term for the sex act entered British gay cant Polari in the 1960s.[25]

Psychiatry and research

The DSM-III-R (1987) version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) renamed atypical paraphilia to paraphilia NOS (not otherwise specified), and provided seven nonexhaustive examples of NOS paraphilias, which included coprophilia.[26] Other specified paraphilic disorder is the term currently used by the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) to refer to any of the many other paraphilic disorders that are not explicitly named in the manual, including coprophilia.[27] In order to be diagnosable, the interest must be recurrent and intense, present for at least six months, and cause marked distress or impairment in important areas of functioning.[27] When a specific paraphilic disorder cannot be identified or the clinician chooses not to specify it for some other reason, the unspecified paraphilic disorder diagnosis may be used instead.[28]

Although there may be no connection between coprophilia and sadomasochism (SM), much of the limited data on the former comes from studies of the latter. A 1999 study of 164 males in Finland from two SM clubs found that 18.2% had engaged in coprophilia; 3% as a sadist only, 6.1% as a masochist only, and 9.1% as both.[29] In the study pool 18% of heterosexuals and 17% of homosexuals had tried coprophilia, showing no statistically significant difference between heterosexuals and homosexuals. In a separate article analyzing 12 men who engaged in bestiality, an additional analysis of an 11-man subgroup revealed that six had engaged in coprophilic behavior, compared with only one in the matched control group consisting of 12 SM-oriented males who did not engage in bestiality.[30]

Paraphilias such as coprophilia have been described as fetishes.[31] A 2007 study counted members of Internet discussion groups with the word fetish in their name. Of the groups about body parts or features, 9% belonged to groups about body fluids (including but not limited to coprophilia.)[32]

On 18 June 2018, the WHO (World Health Organization) published ICD-11, in which Fetishism is now removed as a psychiatric diagnosis. Moreover, discrimination against fetish-having and BDSM individuals is considered inconsistent with human rights principles endorsed by the United Nations and The World Health Organization.[33]
