2. Eproctophilia
Griffiths claimed to have published the first case study on eproctophilia, individuals who are sexually aroused by flatulence. His research centered on a 22-year-old man from Illinois, who first discovered his attraction to farts in high school. The man recalled having a crush on a girl who farted in class, and told Griffiths, “This blew my mind [I] knew by simple biology that girls farted, but hearing that the girl I had been fawning over was capable of such a thing sparked a strange interest in me.” The participant said he eventually grew fixated on the sound of anyone passing gas as it sounded “appealing.”
