Fart Fetish: Passing Gas for Pleasure

Fart fetish… My inner child finds this very amusing, and it even makes me giggle a bit to write about passing gas for pleasure. As always, I say this with all due respect, and your cup of tea doesn’t have to be my cup of tea. So, power to you if smelly gas is what gets you going!

Fart fetish, fart kink, or eproctophilia can be pretty divisive. While some of us can’t image feeling aroused after smelling someone else’s fart, some kinksters have olfactophilia. Olfactophilia is a paraphilia where a person derives sexual pleasure from smells and odors. One sub-group of olfactophilia is eproctophilia or fart fetish. This is a paraphilia in which people are sexually aroused by flatulence. People with this kink enjoy two sensory pleasures, the smell and the sound:

“Eproctophiles are said to spend an abnormal amount of time thinking about farting and flatulence and have recurring intense sexual urges and fantasies involving farting and flatulence.” (Griffiths, 2012a)

It isn't easy to narrow down when fetishes are born. While some people may remember the first time they heard their crush fart and how the pleasure they felt etched into their memories, it’s a mystery for most. There’s no scientific or clinical research on this, so all we know about the fart fetish is what eproctophiles have shared. I think I had lived with my wife for at least three years before she ever farted in front of me. And she only did it because she was so sick that she didn’t care. Thinking about it now, I don’t think it’s happened again since. Going back to my inner child, I’m the person that laughs at farts. I’m not proud of it, but it’s who I am. Frankly, I’m not opposed to passing gas for someone else’s pleasure.

I met a guy with a fart fetish once… and what he told me was equally shocking and unrelatable to me. Let’s call him Tom. I really wanted to understand how a fart can go from funny to pleasurable, so I asked. Tom explained that farts never seemed funny to him. As far as he could remember, the sound and smell of farts were sources of pleasure. At first, it wasn’t sexual. He told me he remembers when he realized the other kids at school thought he was weird because he enjoyed the smell. Kids can be very mean, and all think being weird is terrible. That is why he learned how to hide his unusual feelings regarding farts. He said that by high school, it was definitely a sexual paraphilia. I was, and still am, so curious. I needed to know, how do you tell someone that you are fucking, or that you want to fuck, that smelly gas turns you on. He said:

“I want to bury my face in your ass, and I want you to fart so loud and hard I can taste what you had for lunch.”

Those words will be imprinted in my memory forever. Sexuality, the spectrum of sexuality, is something truly fascinating and beautiful. I love that he feels so passionately and erotically about something others are willing to give him. Regardless of what it is, there’s an intrinsic beauty to the nuances in sexual preferences. Although the fart fetish is usually about wanting to hear and smell others’ gas, subjecting others to one’s gas can also be part of the excitement. I still haven’t heard about a person who gets sexually aroused with the act of farting, so any sexual gratification comes from pleasing your partner.

In the Discover Magazine article, “Sexually Aroused by Farts? You’re Not Alone,”  a twenty-two-year-old man explains:

“I have had my face farted on by both men and women at point blank range. I like the sound and the smell. The ‘worse,’ the better. In terms of sound, I prefer a deep bubbling sound. In terms of smell, I like acrid sulfur. I prefer the farter to be clothed. I don’t particularly like seeing the anus open. It’s not revolting to me, I just prefer fabric for three reasons. Firstly, the sound tends to be better with fabric, particularly jeans or nylons. Second, the smell lingers in cloth whereas in the nude it is a relatively quick blast of smell. Third, I like the look of butt cheeks better when they are defined by fabric.”

Even though I love having a woman sit on my face, I, like most other vagina-lovers, aren’t thinking about smelly farts while there’s a warm pussy sliding over my face. But imagine if you were an eproctophile… the possibilities with oral sex are… a lot!

“Heaven awaits the eproctophile who finds a woman who will sit right down on his face and let it rip. Serve your lover a gas-inducing meal before playtime, and enjoy!”

If you have a fart fetish, finding a play partner might not be very complicated. Tom told me this isn’t something he brings up in the first few dates, and he might not even bring it up to someone he’s fucking until he feels comfortable enough to hear ‘no’ and not feel rejected. Everyone farts, so it’s about finding someone who doesn’t mind that it turns you on. I don’t think I would feel turned on if someone farted in my face, but like most things in sex, you never really know until you try it. This, I might not try anytime soon, but I wouldn’t be wholly opposed to being on the giving end of a fart fetish.
