What is Eproctophilia?
What if your favorite sexual fetish was completely taboo?
Some people have a farting fetish (or eproctophilia), and it’s exactly what it sounds like: a sexual attraction to flatulence, focusing on its sound or smell. It’s not the most common sexual fetish, but it is, sadly, one of the ones that is most misunderstood.
Fortunately, we’re here to shine a little light on this unconventional fetish. How does it work, why are people into it, and how can you bring it into the bedroom? Keep reading to discover everything you need to know!
Why Flatulence Kink?
Those with a flatulence kink get sexually aroused by the scent or sound of someone’s flatulence. There’s an entire eproctophilia community out there where likeminded people can meet and discuss what they like. In some cases, online fetish groups can help those with this fetish discover their local kink scene, allowing them to enact this forbidden fantasy in real life.
What do people like about this fetish, though? Some enjoy the taboo nature of enjoying something that most of society disdains. Others like the vulnerability of enjoying this fetish with others. In some cases, this fetish is even incorporated into a dynamic like BDSM, where (for example) a guy farting on a woman is a sign of dominance.
The Psychology Behind Fetishes
We’ve covered why some people enjoy the far fetish. But how does all of this work, psychologically? For starters, many get aroused by breaking the rules, which is why people love to date bad boys and bad girls. Farting in public is one of society’s ultimate taboos, and some derive pleasure by breaking this major rule in a big way.
Conversely, some like the shame aspect of this. For example, they may recall being mocked for farting in class or other public location and now derive sexual pleasure from shame and humiliation. In this way, a fart fetish can help them transform yesterday’s trauma into today’s pleasure.
Some make the gas play part of a BDSM. In this case, the one farting establishes their dominance with their flatulence. That may sound weird, but it’s not really any different from a dom “marking” their submissive with cum or even pee.
Finally, some couples enjoy this fetish because it brings them emotionally closer together. It takes vulnerability to share a taboo fetish with a partner, and someone accepting that taboo and willingly bringing it into the bedroom symbolizes how much they trust their partner. And for our money, it doesn’t get much hotter than being accepted for who you are by the one you love the most.
How to Start a Gas Play?
Do you wish to explore your own fart with your partner? To do so effectively, you need to communicate your desires in an open and honest way. If you’re not sure how to do that, though, don’t worry…our tips below will help you get started as early as today!
Effective Communication
Opening up about this fetish to a partner is often the hardest part. It can feel strange to admit that, say, you want to fart on someone or that you get aroused by women’s farts. But you need to embrace the vulnerability and openly tell your partner what you’d like to do.
They may say no, of course. But you might be surprised by how many partners say yes. And once they do, you can have a proper discussion about limits, boundaries, and roleplaying scenarios you may wish to explore.
Finding Like-Minded Partners
If you don’t already have a romantic partner, your first major step will be to find someone who is willing to indulge in this fetish. Try joining some online forums and support groups. You might just find your next playmate from one of these online communities, and even if you don’t, the members can point you in the right direction to find likeminded individuals in your own area.
Setting Boundaries
Establishing clear expectations about what is comfortable and acceptable is essential before engaging in fart-related activities. For example, someone may consent to farting during sex, but they might not want you to rip one in their face. Others may draw hard limits around who does what (for example, they may consent to you farting but not want to do it themselves). Again, just be open about what you want and why it’s so important and you’ll be well on your way to experiencing this fetish for yourself.
Common Misunderstandings
Common misunderstandings about farting kink include the belief that they are inherently linked to scat fetishes or that they lack diverse acceptance within the community. However, the fart fetish and scat fetish are very different, and many who have one do not necessarily have the other.
Additionally, the fart fetish community is notably diverse and accepting. One popular forum is Gassy Erotica, where members swap tips, share experiences, and ask questions. Or groups on Fetlife like Fart Sniffers or All about Female farting. These groups (online and off) can help you overcome the stigma behind this fetish and connect you to the broader kink community. And even if you aren’t ready to join a group, you can listen to the Fart Fetish Podcast to learn more about this stinky kink on the go.
Letting It Rip
Now you know more about the fart fetish, including how it works and what people enjoy about it. You also know a few ways to connect with people and learn more about this fetish, including joining online communities and discovering how the above mentioned podcast gets into your deepest questions.
If you’re curious to explore other kinks, there are plenty of options. A booty fetish may feel like the natural next step, focusing on all things related to the butt.
We also cover more intense kinks like the vomit fetish and scat fetish, which explore bodily functions in a different light. Or, if you’re after something quirky yet fun, a balloon fetish offers its own way of having fun.
With any luck, you’ll connect with fellow fart fetishists in no time. But if it takes time, that’s okay. It’s your life and your kinks, and you’ll explore them all in your own time. And don’t forget, Know Your Sins is always here to help you discover more about our favorite activity in the world: freaky, freaky sex!
