A person who is sexually aroused by feces or fecal matter.
From Greek 'kopro-' meaning feces and 'lagneia' meaning lust or lewdness. The term combines two Greek root words to describe a specific paraphilia.
This is one of the most extreme paraphilias studied in psychology, and the fact that it has a specific Greek-derived name shows how thoroughly medical science documents human sexuality—even the rarest variations.
Clinical term from mid-20th century sexology, a field heavily influenced by male researchers who disproportionately studied and medicalized non-heteronormative and non-cisgender expressions. The terminology reflects that era's biases.
Use only in clinical/academic contexts with sensitivity to the history of sexual pathologization. Avoid casual or derogatory use.
