Emetophilia – Vomit fetish
Plenty of people have shame about their sexual desires because they think their needs are weird or unhealthy. However, at Know Your Sins, we’re here to celebrate all kinds of kinks and all kinds of kinksters. And today, we’re here to help out those who experience emetophilia.
What the heck is this fetish, and why are so many people weirded out by it? In short, this a fetish for vomit. Culturally, we associate vomiting with cleansing the body…a way of getting something (ranging from sickness to bad food) out of ourselves in order to heal. However, more people than you might think associate vomiting with sex and sexuality because it’s an immense turn-on to them.
Are you someone with a vomit fetish? Don’t worry…we’re not here to judge you. In fact, we wrote the definitive guide to help you make the most of this fetish and enjoy it without getting hurt. We can’t guarantee you won’t get messy, though…that’s usually a guarantee you’re doing emetophilia correctly!
What is the Meaning of Emetophilia?
Want to know what all of the most unconventional sexual desires have in common? Here you go: pretty much everyone with these kinks wonders how they came to eroticize something that turns off most people. That’s doubly true for those with a vomit fetish, but numerous things may explain why someone is into emetophilia.
Just like any other fetish, the desire to fetishize natural vomit may have deep psychological origins. These feelings often emerge as a result of a complex interaction between a person’s particular history, emotions, and intrinsic wants. For example, some discover early on that vomiting scenes in movies and TV shows excite them. As adults, that may blossom into sexual desire based on a need for intimacy…basically, sharing this taboo kink with a partner involves extreme vulnerability and trust, which is always hot.
Additionally, there are physiological motivations for a vomit fetish. The arousal associated with the body’s natural responses may be exciting for some because of the production of adrenaline and endorphins, either during or before the deed. Between the stimulating sensations and possible events in their formative years, far more people than you may suspect are now sexually stimulated by vomit.
There is an interesting case study on emetophilia that provides insights into how these desires manifest and impact people, in case you would want to dig further.
How Can Vomit Bring Sexual Arousal?
So, we’ve covered a bit of the psychological and physiological reasons behind a vomit fetish. But whether you have emetophilia yourself or are just wondering how all of this works, you may need to know more about how a person can find something that disgusts most of society (vomit) sexually arousing.
One basic explanation is that this is very taboo, even among other kinksters. Society teaches us that vomiting is supposed to be something shameful that we do in private…a gross, messy act that needs to stay hidden behind closed doors. For those with emetophilia, it can be exciting to violate all the taboos around this act, embracing the “gross” thing as profoundly erotic.
Put more simply, it feels good to break the rules. Additionally, the very act of vomiting means surrendering control, allowing your body to do something that, in many cases, you might not want it to do. As with BDSM, this release of control may be erotic, and the act itself is involuntary, intense, and visceral. There’s genuinely nothing else quite like it, and this wet and messy loss of control can be surprisingly exciting.
Forms of Emetophilia: Yes, Virginia, There Are Types!
From the outside looking in, the idea of multiple forms of emetophilia may seem odd. We can already hear you doing your best Mr. Incredible imitation and blurting out “vomit is vomit!”
However, this is a fetish like any other in that there are a surprising number of ways to enjoy it. What are those ways, exactly? Read on and discover the answers for yourself!
Self-induced Vomit
This is pretty much what it says on the tin, describing those who erotically enjoy their own vomiting.
Observational Vomit Kink
Here, people get sexually aroused by seeing someone else vomit. This might involve recordings, live scenarios, or storytelling. Yes, there’s even a whole corner of the internet for this if you’re feeling brave enough to discover it!
Vomit Fetish Audio
Believe it or not, some with emetophilia more enjoy the sound of vomiting than the sight of it. Accordingly, they may get off on audio recordings of the act or even from simply hearing someone throwing up behind closed doors in the bathroom.
Roleplay Vomit Scenarios
If both partners are into emetophilia, they may incorporate vomiting or gagging into their sexual roleplay. It’s unconventional, but this may turn kinksters with a mutual fetish on in a big way while helping them feel closer to one another.
Can Emetophilia Strengthen a Relationship?
Speaking of which, we’re big believers that confessing kinks and exploring fetishes together can bring partners closer together. Emetophilia is one of the rarer kinks, but that can actually help foster intimacy because it takes immense trust to share this fetish with someone else. Imagine being able to express something so private without fear of judgment! Partners who open up about their kinks, even ones like puke fetish, often get closer due to a better understanding of each other.
And if you want to make sure your exploration stays safe and satisfying, prioritize clear communication and a healthy sense of humor. If both partners are on board and comfortable, even the quirkiest of fetishes can become a bonding experience. So yes, you and your partner can grow closer, even if (make that especially if) you’re bonding over something like vomit play.
Enjoy Vomit Fetish with Consent and Safety
A good rule of thumb is that the more extreme a fetish is, the more preparation you need to make sure a sexual session goes well. When it comes to vomit play, that means prioritizing safety, communication, and consent. Below are a few quick tips to make sure your bases are covered.
Talking to your partner about what you need and what you want is a great way to keep the trust level high. That goes both ways, so make sure you know what they want to get out of this, too!
Do not do anything without the explicit consent of the person you are doing it with. As part of good hygiene, take a shower (unless you both like it a bit dirty!) and be respectful of personal limits.
It may be wise to look into the vomiting fantasies of your partner in a safe environment to ensure comfort and safety. In other words, a pristine hotel room with carpets and white bedsheets may not be the best place to explore this fetish…you’ll need more privacy and, ideally, a space that has been prepared ahead of time to make it easier to clean
Keep in mind that consent and respect for one another must always be ongoing. Talk about how you’re both feeling before, during, and after the act to make sure everyone is enjoying the festivities to the fullest.
Throwing Down On Throwing Up
Kinks like puke fetish may seem bizarre to some, but the world of sexuality is diverse and totally unique to each individual. Everyone has something a little unconventional that gets them off, and we’re here to remind you that all consensual desires (including emetophilia) are valid.
Furthermore, there are entire online communities of kinksters out there who share the same fetish. Joining some of those communities can help you get ideas and even find romantic partners. Most importantly, it can help remind you that there’s no need to follow society’s so-called rules, and you should feel free to explore whatever makes you happy.
