Germs

[Fish Kid]

Is it possible to die from eating your own faeces? I once saw a 'movie' in which people did this for enjoyment, and it occured to me that this may be unhealthy.

I have, however, heard that such practices go on in Japan to the extent that they have food types only consisting of certain chemicals to reduce the odour (I kid you not!).

Anyway, I digress...as the said substance are coming out of ones body, can it contain lethal germs?

[maggie01]

I don't know about humans eating faeces. I certainly wouldn't want to try it, but dogs do it and they don't die So who knows.

Well, assuming that they are eaten fresh, one would assume that you are only returning your own germs. But keep in mind that also any toxins etc in the body are ejected in the same way, so you could prevent your body from ridding itself of toxins and put quite a strain on the liver.

Personally, I think I'd die of nausea if I had to do such a thing.

It's a fairly widespread fetish - just google 'scat' if you doubt me. Live and let live - whatever turns you on, and all that. And yes, there are diets. tips etc to improve odour, consistency etc.

But from a health point of view, I don't believe that ingesting your own can be harmful, as they're 'your' bacteria. But ingesting other people's surely carries a risk of hepatitis etc.

The practice of ****-eating is what Mark Oaten did with that rent boy.

I was hoping no-one was going to bring that up Andy!

I was chatting to a perfectly nice man on AOL when all of a sudden he asked if he could buy my s*** to eat. As a fetish. He apparently paid his student neighbour for their "services". He asked me what I would charge. He also said that he liked white girls's faeces as it tasted "sweeter" than asians (he was asian). I strung him along for a while, only to send his instant message to my sister, who then had HYSTERICS. It was very funny.

So, yes, people do it...

Here is a quote from the IM:

WEIRDO: i would like to find a white woman who can regularliy feed me with her feces
ME: Put that in the small ads in the paper and I'm sure you will be inundated

WEIRDO: do you s*** a lot
ME: Yes all the time
WEIRDO: ok
ME: Anyway, I better go and have my dinner

I'm sure I heard that many years ago Noddy Holder, he of Slade fame, was paid money (before he hit the big time with Christmas tunes) to drop his bombload on a glass table whilst someone lay underneath the glass and watched it come out squashy against the glass.

[andy-hughes]

Fish Kid is quite right - Noddy himself recalls the time when the band were doing the eighteen hours out of twenty-four shifts in the Hamburg night clubs, and he found this an easy way to make some money.

With regard to the practice outlined - I would guess that in moderation it's not directly harmful, but you are ingesting a substance with all the useful products extracted from it - so it's not going to give you a smooth complextion and a trim figure!

And finally - Andy008 - how do you know that?

Ewwwwwwwwwww. I just googled scat {feeling green now}

That is horiffic!! OMG! People do this???

"scat shower" ewwwwwwwwwwwwww

I need to go for a lie down now :(

[Polotoo]

What a yucky topic!

I seem to recall, being told once, by someone-dunno who that you can eat your faeces up to 7 times before obsorbing all the nutrients. Dunno how you would tell if you've eaten the same bit seven times!

Although I wouldn't want to, I guess if I was desperate enough and it was the only way to survive I'd do it! Self-preservation is a remarkable thing!

[Drisgirl]

If you want a permanent reminder then just go to Amsterdam - there are whole sections in the DVD section and if you choose to have a little preview in a booth then you will be met with a sign advising 'No pi$hing or $hitting' and the appropriate fine.

Heard about the glass table top - probably right enough but a bit of an urban myth now.

If you're curious - try it and let us know how you get on:)

An ex-colleague of mine purchased what he called 'The Holy Grail of Porn' in Amsterdam, imaginatevly entitled "Tranvestite Sh1t Eaters From Mars".

I saw approximately 1 minute of it, and it was 59 seconds too much.

Regarding Noddy Holder - I remember now, he told the story on the Frank Skinner Show.
