are you emetophile

[JessalynV.]

Nope, never!! I saw something like that on "1,000 Way's to Die", and I was SO grossed out, NEVER EVER! But to each their own

[sdfl]

Heck naw homey. But I wonder who the forty emet-lovers are?

[aric11]

Why in the world would an emetophobes on an emetophobic form being aroused by v*?!?!?!

[KaydeeJayde]

If you read the rest of the thread, you'd see the discussion on which it was said that both emetophobia and emetophilia are part of a bigger "emetomania", so the two are quite possibly closer linked than you'd think.

[CrazyGirl1123]

Woah! No way Jose!

[stacey74]

i've read this thread a few times...just thought i'd put in my two cents....
i don't understand how you can be affected by both, but i know you can because i am....
for me, i'm more scared of others vomiting than i am of myself...but the longer i go without vomiting, the more the fear intensifies.
i know that in real life, i can't stand the sight or sound or even the thought of it getting on me..guuhross!!(lol)...
anyway, i can watch tv or a movie or even read or talk about it and it causes that adrenaline rush.... doesn't bother me one bit
i think for me it's more fantasy than fetish....because if someone were to actually throw up near me, the panic would set in and i would surely be out of there fast....
best i can explain it...

[Tay20]

Does your fear make you feel like you have an eating disorder? mine does... I have lost ten lbs in a month... so far.. from not eating

Meg: Several ephiles posted their stories in this thread:

The one by jenn2020 is especially detailed.

[~Emily~]

Nope. Certainly not, quite the opposite in fact!

[afraid213]

I've never been aroused by vomit...but when others vomit (not during) I'm fascinated by it and HAVE TO look at the vomit. Idk why, but its fascinating and scary all at the same time.I'm sure when I vomit myself (been 15 years) I will probably study it for a while. but I'm like that with most other complicated things too. I just want to figure it out!

I know what you mean...its weird cause if I see it somehwere, I do get squeamish and eww this and ewww that...but I look at it...as if to scrutinize it still skeeved by it.....its like a car accident or something, you just can't look away

The problem with me though, I just think about it all day that I saw it and then I'm spaced out and panicked.

You are the coolest emet ever for predicting you'll vomit someday! Most of us are too scared to say something like that.

[ShadeKat]

OH GOD NO! D:
This is just so disgusting to even think about.

[Angie78]

emetophile means you get aroused by thinking about v*****ing or looking at pictures or maybe even seeing it

F...cking gross! uhhhhhg! That's horrible...

[Laonfait]

Friggen eww. However, when a male vomits, I run away, literally. If said male were female, I would try to see, yet there is NOOO connection between my sexual interests and my fear.

Haha, you just contradicted yourself. There is a connection. You want to see a female do it, even though a male disgusts you. I think you are emetophile.

[asdjkl12345]

omg i didnt realize what it meant... i thought it meant you had a PHOBIA of vomiting and i was like hmm thats a weird poll yes i do have a phobia... and then i read what it actually means. no. i do not find vomiting sexually arousing. so gross

[katherines6]

oh god, this is something thats always scared me. please no judgement okay?
im not emetophile, but i've got something thats connected in a way i guess. i have no clue if its normal because i feel too stupid to talk about it. this is my first time admitting it. i'm only 14, so i guess i don't know if im an emetophile or not since that involves being turned on by v* and since i'm young i haven't really been 'turned on.' but ever since i was little i've felt different around people who are hurt or ill and stuff... oh god this makes me so creepy D: i used to imagine certain kids that i had crushes on when i was little getting sent to the hospital or breaking a leg or something... sometimes even v*ing, and seeing them being vulnerable and emotional in that way just always made me totally fall in love (or as much in love as a little kid can get lol) with them. i feel like SUCH A CREEP. i dont daydream about that kind of stuff anymore because it scares me thinking that i'm weird, but if i see someone on tv that ive had no interest in before, and they get hurt: instant crush on them. im so weird oh my godddddd its not like id actually want to be there if they were v*ing or anything... i'm hoping its just because im more attracted to people who show their feelings and are more emotional i guess, and that side of people almost always shows when they are in pain or ill... but thats just my reasoning. maybe theres some whole other creepy thing behind it, and it makes me so ashamed. please dont think im a weirdo you guys... i wish i wasn't this way.

[KaydeeJayde]

Katherine, honestly, you're not a creep. Everyone's mind works in different ways. No judgement from me!

[katherines6]

Thank you KaydeeJade... i just feel so weird and creepy since ive never met anyone else the same way. thanks for not judging it really means a lot.

[KaydeeJayde]

We're all emets, regardless of what other quirks we have. We should stick together and offer support and advice no matter what

[MarrickFait]

(Laonfait) Bananas. No, not at all, I'm just not afraid when a female vomits. I don't know why I tend to observe but there is no connection with my sexual interests.

[wanted]

OMG, I read about this yesterday, I accidentaly found about this and it's awful.
I can't imagine anyone is emetophile.

[KaydeeJayde]

obviously by the poll results, there are 52 emetophiles on this site alone.

[CrazyGabby]

This is fascinating. I don't consider myself to be an emetophile because it doesn't turn me on sexually at ALL. I'm also slightly different in my phobia in that I'm not afraid of myself getting sick, only other people, especially those close to me. However, I can relate to those above who are "fascinated" with it in terms of rereading book passages, parts in movies, etc. I don't know why. Maybe because it's something that frightens me so much in real life, but in books/movies/etc. it's not happening in front of me so the fear is lessened and becomes more of a fascination?

I'm with you on this one. My phobia is also not of myself being sick, only others, and I relate to everything you said.

[RosieRoo]

certainly not me.... I'm terrified of it!! if I hear the words "tummy ache" no matter what the cause, I'm hiding like a scared little kid. Interesting thought for sure though, never really considered that.

[gumdropper1]

I don't think there needs to be another choice. The question in this poll is about emetophilia. If you asked a separate question, "Are you obsessed with vomiting?" then all of us on IES would answer yes. If you asked, "Are you unusually curious about vomiting," then I think most of us on IES would answer yes. Doug

[stopthissong]

What kind of a question is that LOL NOOO!

[cheymcg]

I dont think that this kind of feeling is strange. Im am NOT one, but I am curious when other people v*. I want to know details, and often imagine what it was like. Its almost like people who find pain arousing. No one likes to feel pain, but some people find it arousing. 50 shades anyone?! Same kinda thing.
