Caviar
Definition
Within BDSM, caviar (also known as scat) does not refer to the luxury fish product, but to the use of feces in a sexual or fetishistic context. The term originates from French and English slang, where “caviar play” or “scat play” is used to refer to playing with feces. It falls under the category of extreme fetishes and is one of the most taboo forms within BDSM.
Explanation of caviar
Caviar play focuses on eroticizing something that is normally considered dirty or inappropriate. For some, it has to do with total humiliation, surrender, or breaking social taboos. For others, it is a way to transform power, aversion, or disgust into an erotic stimulus. In practice, it can range from symbolic acts – such as talking about the subject or role-playing around humiliation – to actual physical contact with feces.
Although this fetish occurs in a very small group of people, it has gained a place within the BDSM world as part of the broader spectrum of coprophilia. However, it remains a risky and controversial form of play, which carries both physical and psychological dangers.
Safety & points to consider
Caviar play is very risky and medically inadvisable. Feces contain bacteria and parasites that can cause serious infections.
Direct contact with feces (mouth, genitals, or open skin) can lead to hepatitis, salmonella, or E. coli infections.
People with weakened immune systems are at extra risk.
If you do experiment, limit it to symbolic or controlled acts without direct physical contact.
Thorough cleaning with antibacterial agents is necessary.
The subject is confrontational or repulsive to many. Clear communication and explicit consent are essential.
It is important to realize that caviar play within BDSM is not considered “standard,” but belongs to the extreme niche of the fetish world. The vast majority of BDSM experiences revolve around consent, safety, and connection – not extreme risks.
