  1. Coprophilia

    Coprophilia, also called scatophilia or scat, is the paraphilia involving sexual pleasure from feces. In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, published by the American Psychiatric Association, it is classified under 302.9 – Paraphilia, NOS and has no diagnostic criteria other than a general statement about paraphilias that says "the diagnosis is made if the behavior, sexual urges, or fantasies cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning". Furthermore, the DSM-IV-TR notes, "Fantasies, behaviors, or objects are paraphilic only when they lead to clinically significant distress or impairment". Although there may be no connection between coprophilia and sadomasochism, the limited data on the former comes from studies of the latter. A study of 164 males in Finland from two sadomasochism clubs found that 18.2% had engaged in coprophilia; 3% as a sadist, 6.1% as a masochist, and 9.1% as both. 18% of heterosexuals and 17% of homosexuals in the study pool 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 6 had engaged in coprophilic behavior, compared with only 1 in the matched control group consisting of 12 SM-oriented males who did not engage in bestiality.
