What is Salirophilia?

Salirophilia is a fetish in which an individual is sexually aroused by bodily fluids, such as saliva or sweat, especially when they soil clothing, items, or another person. It is considered a subcategory of wet and messy fetishism or sploshing.

Origins of Salirophilia

The origins of salirophilia are not well documented, but it is believed to have been around for centuries. The term “salirophilia” comes from the Greek words “saline,” meaning salt, and “rophos,” meaning filth.

In the past, salirophilia was often associated with BDSM and domination/submission relationships, where the dominant partner would use bodily fluids to humiliate or degrade their submissive partner. However, today, it is recognized as a legitimate and consensual fetish that can be enjoyed by people of all genders and sexual orientations.

There are several types of salirophilia, including:

• Clothing soiling: Sexual arousal from soiling or ruining clothing with bodily fluids.

• Body soiling: Sexual arousal from soiling or being soiled with bodily fluids.
• Saliva fetish: Sexual arousal from saliva, including kissing, spitting, and drooling.

Is Salirophilia Safe?
