I want to chime in here…
When we started teaching our famous enema class in dungeons and clubs 20 years ago, the most common misconception was that an enema fetish was synonymous with scat. This myth was so ingrained in the bdsm scene that it took a lot of education before we witnessed a shift in that perception. So, the Naughtydoc of 20 years ago would say the two are completely unrelated, despite logic saying otherwise. Enema fetish does not equal scat play.
I would even go so far as to say when done right, enemas are the anti-scat, because they leave the bottom clean and ready for further anal play. I want to play with a lovely female asshole, not her shit. I don’t want to smear it, and I for sure want it nowhere near my mouth. Cleaning a willing lady with a series of enemas might even be done so could put my mouth on those intimate places without the fear of encountering any filth.
20 years older me with decades of life and play under my belt would now say “maybe?”. While I don’t want to play with scat, nor is it the focus of my kink, I’d be lying if I didn’t mention that all of us enema lovers have outright scat or scat adjacent moments. I’ll explain with a quick list of examples that some might perceive as scat play that us klismos and age players fail to recognize.
1. You want to see the expulsion to know it’s real, whether in person or in films. I read this on zity threads a lot. Not judging, and I get that the want to see or hear the expulsion is for myriad reasons besides a scat fetish. This observations goes for bedpans, showers, and outdoor expulsions.
2. You want to see the results in the toilet. You hear people in medical and age play scenes say “don’t flush, I need to check the results”. It’s humiliating, it fits the age play and medical roleplay scene, and can be a heavy psychological addition to an enema session. To some, this is getting into scat territory.
3. Diaper messing with the help of an enema or suppo. Need I say more. Not throwing stones, just trying to be objective about the optics of such play and the scat elements. Good kinky fun, for sure scat adjacent.
4. Harris flush and all related to that procedure. IYKYK
5. Scopes and anything viewing the inner workings of the GI tract. Never know what you’ll see or encounter, but there is a good chance of encountering scat.
I could go on. The point is, I’d never claim to have a scat fetish, but I do think many of the scenes we engage in could be seen as scat play to vanilla outsiders as well as seasoned bdsm players that have a limited understanding of both fetishes.
Big part of this sexual journey is just accepting what you like and not letting the labels and stigmas control you. I know what I like and don’t enjoy, and if some play I engage in falls under that umbrella from time to time, so be it.
