Yet what some people do to their bodies in relation to this phobia is also extremely unhealthy- not eating correctly, the over-use of antiemetics, etc. Even the constant stress that this phobia may cause can do a number on the body. I don't think you can necessarily say that what they are doing is unhealthy without acknowledging how some of our actions in relation to this phobia can be extremely unhealthy as well.

Oki so, we have the two different sides of the story there, 1 we dont do much for our health being an emet but we do avoid getting ill in some ways that is also better for our mental state so theres something else to add in.

But, What they do is not</span> healthy for them,for the other person/people involved!!Full Stop.

The esophagus gets badly damaged, there teeth rewined, there stomachs are plauged with problems from having this fetish,and thats what medically its put down as, same as bdsm(S&amp;M), alot of what is put down to the psychology of the mind.

If you look at the many studys done to do with the chemical reaction in the pain when they are discussing the pain/pleasure situation it can be compared with the same sort of chemical reactions becoming either interlocked with each other or as someone has already said some may have been emetopobes then from there awful experience they have progressed to actually have a liking within the action that is vomiting.
