OK, I have to come clean and admit that I've never actually had someone shit over me (if you ignore my children when they were babies). And it is certainly not something I crave for. But, when my friend Andrea started encouraging me to explore the topic - it was — is — fascinating, and like all taboos, full of inconsistencies. I am (and know several others) who are very happy to rim someone's arsehole (and even happier to be rimmed). And sucking off a cock or dildo that's been up someone's arse holds only pleasure in my mind. Of course, in both cases I'm eating shit. Perhaps only tiny pieces but that doesn't maker. But there's a world of difference between me and those girls on the scat videos who rub pieces of shit round there lips like lipstick, and then eat it whole. Sure Id get off in horrid fascination watching someone else do it. And Id sure like to boast that I could it. But every time I look in the toilet bowl at one of my own turds, and smell the smell ... well I want to pick it up out of the water, but I just can´t.
So scat, for me, is a bit love / hate. Love the idea. Hate the practice. Admire anyone with the balls to do it!
Shit, so, what actually is it?
We excrete about 4 tonnes of shit in a lifetime (3 to 6 ounces a day), but most of us know almost nothing about it.
In normal faeces, about 75% is just water. Another 12˝% is dead bacteria (bacteria, essential for digestion, breeds rapidly, so you have to get rid of it or you'd swell up). The final 12˝% is made up of indigestible bits of food (fats, proteins, minerals) and debris from dead cells, especially blood cells. Plus some tiny amounts of extremely strong chemicals, notably Skatole - which makes shit smell shitty, and Bilirubin - which helps destroy old blood cells, and is what makes shit brown (whatever you've eaten).
If you don't mind the whiff of Skatole, and so long as you're not carrying any nasty parasites or virus, then shit is perfectly safe to eat (though you're safest eating your own). It is said to taste like ripe Camembert … which makes you think.
