Emetophilia
Updated:Emetophilia, also known as vomit fetishism, is a paraphilia characterized by sexual arousal or gratification associated with vomiting or watching others vomit. This fetish can involve various scenarios, including self-induced vomiting, observing others vomit, or being vomited upon. It's important to note that emetophilia is relatively rare and not widely understood in the medical community.
Additional Information
While emetophilia is considered a paraphilia, it doesn't necessarily indicate a disorder unless it causes significant distress or impairment in daily functioning. Like many fetishes, the origins of emetophilia are not fully understood but may involve a combination of psychological, environmental, and possibly neurological factors.
Practicing emetophilia can pose health risks, including dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and damage to the esophagus or teeth from frequent vomiting. It's crucial for individuals with this fetish to prioritize safety and hygiene if engaging in related activities.
