Sex is amazing. Yet, at the same time, it’s still a huge taboo in modern society. Part of that comes from patriarchy and Christianity. Pretty hypocritical, isn’t it? After all, everyone experiences sexual desire. But how can a taboo fetish like scat — also known as coprophilia, a poop fetish, or a feces fetish — be part of someone’s sexuality?

First, let’s understand the difference between some of the most important Terms related to sexual desire. I’ll give you a little lesson based on what I’ve learned from studying several books about human sexuality (one of my favorite hobbies).

Take notes.

DESIRE: Everything starts here. Every human being experiences desires. They’re our natural sexual impulses. For example: wanting to kiss someone.

FANTASY: A fantasy is an imagined scenario. It’s a mental experience that may or may not ever happen in real life. Examples: “What if I had sex with that famous singer?” “I imagine myself having sex with my ex every night.”

KINK: Kink is an umbrella term used worldwide to describe unconventional, specific, or non-traditional sexual practices. Basically, it’s any kind of sex that goes beyond “vanilla sex.” Vanilla sex is what most people consider conventional intercourse. Kink is everything outside that standard.

Examples include roleplay (pretending to be a teacher and a student), power dynamics such as BDSM (Bondage, Discipline, Dominance, Submission and Masochism), threesomes, or even public sex.

Kink includes many different sexual practices. But there’s an important difference between a kink and a fetish. A kink can simply be something you enjoy doing from time to time. A fetish, on the other hand, becomes an essential part of your sexual arousal.

FETISH: A fetish doesn’t simply disappear. It’s something that stays with you throughout your life and becomes part of your sexuality. Without it, your sexual pleasure may feel incomplete. A fetish is an intense sexual fixation on a specific object, body part, material, or activity. Examples include feet, leather, uniforms…

In other words… Trying whipped cream during sex once or twice is simply experimenting with a kink.

But if whipped cream becomes something you constantly need to become sexually excited, then it has become a fetish.

PARAPHILIA: Paraphilia is the clinical term used to describe what most people simply call a fetish.

Despite sounding like a scary medical word, having a paraphilia doesn’t mean someone is mentally ill. Most people with a paraphilia live perfectly normal and healthy lives.

One example is coprophilia, the clinical name for a scat fetish, poop fetish, or feces fetish.

PATHOLOGY: A paraphilia becomes pathological when it causes significant distress, seriously affects a person’s life, or involves non-consenting people. If a sexual practice harms yourself or someone else, it stops being just a fetish and becomes a clinical problem.

One classic example is pedophilia.

So remember this: Paraphilia (fetish) is not the same thing as pathology.

After that little lesson, let’s get back to our main topic: the pleasure of poop!

The term SCAT comes from the English word scatology, and it’s the name most commonly used within the fetish community. So, if someone has a scat fetish, a poop fetish, or coprophilia, they enjoy scat. It’s really that simple.

If you landed on this page because you were searching for “What is scat?”, “What is scat sex?”, “What is coprophilia?”, or wondering why some people are sexually attracted to feces, you’ve come to the right place.

And no, there’s nothing inherently wrong with having a fetish — as long as everything happens between consenting adults, with common sense and within the law. You already know that by now, right?

Still, scat remains one of the most misunderstood and taboo fetishes in the world. Most people have never heard anyone talk about it openly. It’s considered dirty. Disgusting. Shameful. Humiliating.

But for someone who has a scat fetish, defecation doesn’t necessarily carry the same meaning it does for everyone else. It can represent relief. Intimacy. Vulnerability. It’s something created by the body — something that literally came from another person.

That’s why the emotional meaning is completely different. People without this fetish usually see only feces. People who have it often experience something much deeper and far more personal. That’s exactly why I wanted to start talking about it.

Here’s another interesting fact. Scat belongs to an even larger umbrella within the kink community called PIG PLAY.

People who enjoy Pig Play are often aroused by bodily fluids, natural body odors, and other forms of human “messiness.” Urine (golden shower), flatulence (fart fetish), body hair, sweat, armpit odor, and even menstruation are just a few examples.

In other words, scat is only one of many fetishes that can exist within Pig Play.

I started discovering my own sexual desires when I was still a child. Very early on, I realized that my biggest challenge wouldn’t be understanding my sexuality. It would be accepting it. Simply because I had no idea whether anyone else in the world shared the same “dirty” desires I did.

So, in 2017, when I was 23 years old, I created a blog where I documented that entire journey. I wrote about where I believe my fetishes came from, possible psychological triggers, childhood memories, Freud and the anal stage, self-care, meeting other people with similar desires, and everything I learned along the way.

The more I wrote, the more I realized something surprising: The scat fetish had far more followers than I had ever imagined. Thousands of people were living with the exact same questions, fears, shame, and curiosity that I had experienced myself.

For the first time in my life… I realized I wasn’t alone.

Over the course of five years, my blog, Quero Scat (I Want Scat), accumulated nearly 4 million page views… until it was censored and taken offline. Back then, I wrote under the pseudonym Gustavo Scat. Wearing my yellow hoodie and my pig mask, I used to joke that I was the Hannah Montana of poop. Gustavo Scat had become more famous than the person I actually was in my private life. (Yeah… there’s a pun in there.)

During those years, I wrote about almost everything related to the scat fetish. I talked about discovering my sexuality, possible psychological origins of my desires, guilt, shame, acceptance, personal experiences, and everything I learned from studying human sexuality.

That’s when I noticed something fascinating. Very few people were actually trying to explain the subject. And the people who found my blog usually arrived carrying exactly the same feelings I once had. Fear. Shame. Confusion. Many believed they were the only people in the world who had those desires. I knew exactly how that felt. That’s why I always tried to write as honestly as possible. Not to glorify the fetish. Not to condemn it. Just to explain it.

To show that, like many other sexual interests, it can be understood without prejudice—as long as everything happens between consenting adults.

When my blog disappeared, I refused to let all that work disappear with it. So I gathered my most important articles and turned them into a book.

That book contains everything I had learned over the years. My journey of self-acceptance. The discovery of my bisexuality. Personal sexual experiences. My therapy sessions. My research into sexuality. Exclusive interviews. And many stories that I had never shared anywhere else.

Today, it has become one of the most complete books ever written about the scat fetish.

But the book isn’t just about scat, coprophilia, or scat sex. It’s also about me. It’s about everything that happened after years of hiding behind a mask. For a long time, I chose to keep my real identity a secret. I wanted people to know my thoughts—not my face. But eventually… That choice was taken away from me. I was exposed.

Someone revealed my identity without my consent. Overnight, my private life became public. And everything changed. In the book, I tell that story in full. Why I hid behind a pig mask for so many years. What happened after I was exposed. How it affected my mental health, my personal life, and the way I saw myself.

If you came across this article because you wanted to understand what a scat fetish is, you'll likely find everything you've always wanted to know about the subject in the book.
