Fetish – A form of sexual desire in which gratification is strongly linked to a particular object, activity, or body part other than the genitals.

A fart fetish (eproctophilia) is a sexual desire involving flatulence. While the concept may sound odd to some, there are countless variations in how and why individuals find farts arousing.

Flatulence is a completely natural part of human biology — a mix of gases produced in the digestive tract. Every person on Earth produces intestinal gas and farts. Despite this, farting is often met with embarrassment, crude humor, or outright disgust. Whether it’s a loud, drawn-out release or a silent whisper that burns the nose, the act is generally discouraged in polite society.

However, a small group of people respond to flatulence differently — with sexual arousal. The fart fetish community is surprisingly diverse and nuanced, with a wide range of interests and roles one might take on. Most commonly, a fart fetishist is either turned on by another person farting, or by the act of farting on or near someone else. From there, the kink can branch out into many directions.

Some enjoy the degradation or humiliation that being farted on brings, while others find it sensual — a symbol of intimacy, trust, and comfort. Some fetishists are drawn to the sound or vibration of a fart but dislike the smell, while others savor the unique odor produced by a partner’s body. There is no one-size-fits-all expression of this kink.

While most fart fetishists are straight men, the community spans all genders and sexual orientations. You’ll find gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and agender individuals who share this interest. For some, the fetish is central to their sexual identity. For most, it’s an enhancement — a playful, arousing layer added to their sex life.

Often, the fetish overlaps with dom/sub dynamics, where one partner may dominate the other using flatulence. But that’s not always the case. Some simply enjoy a casual fart from a partner while lounging, watching a movie, or driving together — the kind of intimacy that grows from comfort and openness.

Other fetishists prefer more direct interactions, such as being farted on intentionally — even in the face, nose, or mouth. Whether the appeal lies in domination or in fully experiencing another person, this type of play can be the hardest aspect to explain to someone outside the kink.

This fetish is far more common than people think. Yet it’s difficult to know just how many share it, largely because of the shame and embarrassment many fetishists carry. For some, it even manifests as self-loathing at points in their life. Society’s judgment can make the experience feel isolating — like you’re the only one with these desires.

But you’re not alone. You’re not broken. And you’re certainly not the only one who thinks farts can be sexy.
