Another guy produced the shit. I didn’t see it come out his ass, but it looked and smelled like the real thing. The guy picked it up and ate a small piece. He said it was like chewing on tastless wax. “Tasteless Wax”. lol. Smelling something is almost the same as actually eating it. It acts like a natural warning system. Humans evolved smelling for a reason, so they wouldn’t kill themselves eating something bad. ---

For fifty dollars? He either was one desperate motherfucker, or he actually _wanted_ to eat it. ---

I’ve eaten shrimp without first removing the “sand vein” which means I’ve eaten shrimp shit. I aint proud of this, but hey. ---

We were sitting in a high school ceramics class talking about something. One of the students in the table said “it tastes like shit.” He didn’t actually mean it tasted like shit but you know how it goes. Anyway, another student, I think it was me, asked him “oh yeah? How would you know what shit tastes like?” He ended up saying “Of course, haven’t you ever wanted to know what it tastes like?” Well I can’t say I’ve ever wanted to know the taste of shit badly enough to try it but I guess he did have that urge at one point. I guess he stuck a finger down there during one of the times he had diarrhea and just licked it off his finger to try it out. ---

I forgot where I heard this. Probably from a movie. If you ever get arrested pack peanut butter in your butt crack and start pulling it out and eating it when you are being interviewed to freak out the cops. ---

> [@MPB\_in\_Salt\_Lake](#): > > Well, I am glad I (hopefully) didnt offend you, as that was NOT my intent----I was just wondering if you would understand how someone could conclude (based on this thread, and of your several recent mentions of a book that also talks about shit-eating) that the subject was becoming a bit of a fixation, and if so, would it be reasonable to conclude that one might be inclined to act on said fixation… > > In other words, if someone is bringing an activity up a lot, mentioning it or talking about it often, is it out of bounds to conclude that they may be thinking about engaging in that same activity? > > (I know people are interested in lots of stuff that they have no intention of participating in, but does my point have any merit?) I dunno. If a friend became unusually interested in, say, the Roman Empire, would we be concerned that they might show up at the front door with a squad of centurions and sell our family into slavery? ---

I’m surprised none of our friendly doper chicks haven’t done ass to mouth sex, thus tasting their own poo. ---

Over the years I’ve known a few guys who were into eating shit. They were slaves in the BDSM lifestyle, and each said he was systematically trained by his Master or Mistress to eat shit, but never really enjoyed it. But none of them said what it tasted like. ---

As a kid, I reached in the toilet and felt it, squished it, felt like crunchy peanut butter. I smelt my hand afterwords, smelt different then regular poop after the water plunge, as opposed to holding your hand directly under your bum and then smell… Not so stinky , but a different stinky…still not an edible stinky even at 4 🙂 ---

Okay, in the name of SCIENCE(!) I did it, I tasted just the tiniest bit “fresh” and left a little (again the tiniest bit) dry. Wet… it’s not pleasant, I wouldn’t do it again, hard to describe. It has an odd sweetness to it, but not in a good way, but past the sweetness it tastes like it smells. The dry stuff is completely tasteless. The things I do for knowledge… ---

Could you elaborate on the circumstances of the consumption? Was it something you had planned in advance or was it on the spur of the moment? ---

> [@Argent\_Towers](#): > > Could you elaborate on the circumstances of the consumption? Was it something you had planned in advance or was it on the spur of the moment? Your OP inspired me, I did this like, yesterday. Everyone always seems so curious about it yet afraid to try it and this thread pushed me over the edge to do it. ---
