Definition:

Emetophilia is a paraphilia characterized by a sexual attraction to vomiting or the act of vomiting. This attraction can manifest in various ways, including arousal from the thought of vomiting, witnessing someone else vomit, or being vomited on.

Individuals who identify with emetophilia may find enjoyment in scenarios involving nausea or the physical act of regurgitation, often viewing these experiences as sexually stimulating. It is important to note that, like many paraphilias, emetophilia exists on a spectrum, and the intensity and expression of this attraction can vary widely among individuals.

In some cases, emetophilia may be incorporated into consensual adult activities, potentially within the context of BDSM or kink communities, where communication and consent are crucial. Engaging in such activities requires mutual agreement and understanding of boundaries between partners to ensure a safe and respectful experience.

Overall, while emetophilia may be less commonly discussed, it represents a specific facet of human sexuality that highlights the diverse range of sexual interests and preferences.

Emetophilia is a paraphilic interest or sexual arousal associated with vomiting or observing others vomit. This paraphilia involves a strong attraction to the act of vomiting or the sight, smell, or sound of vomit. Individuals with emetophilia may find pleasure or sexual gratification in vomiting themselves or witnessing others vomit. It is important to note that engaging in any sexual activity involving bodily fluids should always be consensual and safe for all parties involved.
