Thanks Aswad - your post was awesome.
You're welcome. I try to be informative.

Also, I don't know how in the world someone justifies eating shit as a fetish. I mean, I understand getting to know someone intimately, but re-eating what they had in their digestive system from a few days ago? Kind of drawing a line there, isn't it? Please, help me find logic in this. I'm very curious.
It's a taboo. Breaking taboos can be sexy, and specific taboos often become fetishes. In Japan, where the taboos on sexuality are less extensive, but where purity and its pragmatic incarnation as cleanliness is important, it is more common than in the west. Also, it can be a humiliating thing, and it can probably appeal to the same ideas that make some enjoy the notion of being "dirty." And it came from someone's body, and was in a sense part of that body for a time, which also has further connotations that tend to be eroticized.
Compared to being tied up with a specific type of wool stockings for vanilla sex, or being rolled up in black garbage bags and having darts thrown at you, both of which are fetishes I know for a fact there are people who have pursued, I've no problem seeing some of the logic behind this one. For me, though, the appeal disappeared when I rid myself of social constructs like taboos and the like. I can still use it as part of something else, and have enough detachment from it to engage in it with a bottom that really, really wants it, but I don't see any intrinsic appeal anymore.
As for the health aspects, they are of minimal concern if you don't eat raw fish that has been caught in the wild. I have outlined a lot of this in a post on page 2. You can contract intestinal parasites, yes. That just doubles the chance of this being discovered, since there are two people in which it can be discovered by chance or by symptoms, and treatment of non-obvious intestinal parasites is trivial. Those parasites that are not trivial to treat, are not asymptomatic. Take it from someone with parasitophobia: transmission of parasites by way of feces among otherwise healthy, fluid bonded partners in the western hemisphere is of very, very limited concern.
You can transmit the yeast that gives atopic eczema while having sex, too...
... given the limited risk and limited likelihood, who cares, though?
Health,
al-Aswad.
