A psychological or sexual attraction to feces; a paraphilia or psychiatric condition where a person is abnormally fascinated by or aroused by excrement.
From Greek 'kopros' (feces) + 'philia' (love, attraction). Recognized as a rare psychiatric condition in clinical and forensic psychology literature.
Coprophilia is so rare in humans that major psychology textbooks often omit it entirely, yet it appears in forensic case studies—it's one of the most obscure paraphilias documented in clinical practice.
Paraphilia terminology from 20th-century sexology. Like other paraphilias, terminology was developed and applied within research contexts dominated by male psychiatrists, with inconsistent rigor across genders and non-heteronormative groups.
Use only in clinical/academic contexts. Avoid as insult or casual descriptor.
