My mashpia told me he has a strange fetish. He likes smearing himself in doody when he is masturbating. Is this very strange or dangerous? He doesn't eat it, only smears it over himself. We are very close and thought he should tell me about this weird fetish, as he calls it. I know there are halachic problems with masturbation but is there anything halachically wrong with playing with doody? Also, dont you think this isnt the behavior of a chassidisha yid?
Dear Shmuli (No Not that Shmuli)
Hello, and thanks for the visual! Oy Gevalt! Let's see...Strange? Definitely. I'm not a doctor but you must know that as long as it is his own poop and not someone else's its not terribly dangerous. The thing that is by far weirder is the fact that he confided this in you. I had a similar question before and there were a good variety of opinions of the subject. Halachically we all know that shichvas zerah livatula is most definetly a d'arisa however, we also know that 97% of all men masturbate and the other 3% lie about it. So I wont and cant go there. On the topic of "shmutz from the tush" or doody as we know it....I dont see anything halachically wrong with playing with it. So tell your mashpia, and I am having a hard time calling him that, that its perfectly permissable. I do reccomend that he research more hygenic alternatives. Be careful when shaking hands with him in Shul tonight is all I can say. And for the record, your friend might just want to discuss this fetish with a qualified professional in the mental health field, as this behavior may hinder him in the frum world. Although, maybe there are some folks who would go along with it -- the world IS a strange place, after all.
Please be advised that I am only a Shliach. I am NOT a medical doctor or a mental health professional. Any advice I give should be taken moderate skepticism. Please consult a REAL medical doctor or mental health professional if you feel you have a serious medical condition.
