Coprophilia

Coprophilia is a paraphilia consisting of the condition of feeling sexual excitement focused on feces, often in conjunction with BDSM or infantilism.

An alternative term is scat fetishism, which shares a root with the scientific and literary term scatology. See also scat.

Some coprophiliacs engage in coprophagia, the eating of feces, which is a highly hazardous activity due to the risks of infection. Note that even consuming one's own feces involves risk, as the bowel bacteria are not safe to ingest.
