The practice or condition of coprophilia; the state of having a psychological or sexual attraction to feces.
From coprophilia + '-ism' (condition, practice, or doctrine). An alternative medical term for the same disorder as coprophilia, using the '-ism' suffix common in naming psychological conditions.
Using '-ism' instead of '-ia' to name the same disorder shows how fluid psychiatric terminology is—'coprophilism' and 'coprophilia' mean the same thing, yet different textbooks prefer different versions.
Systematic terminology for paraphilia, created within male-dominated 20th-century psychiatry with embedded cultural assumptions about sexuality and gender.
Use clinically and carefully. Recognize historical bias in paraphilia classification.
