A British man with a strange fetish for cow manure has been jailed for two-years after he was caught sexually pleasuring himself while covered in dung on a farm in the south west of England.
David Truscott, 41, was found naked apart from a single sock by farmer Clive Roth’s 16-year-old son in Frebruary, on Woodbury House Farm in Penzance, local newspaper The Falmouth Packet reported.
When police officers arrived, they found Truscott covered in a large amount of slurry and mud, and was surrounded by tissues.
This is the third time Truscott has been caught in similar circumstances at the same farm. He was previously jailed for offenses linked to his fetish. The judge turned down defense calls for a suspended sentence, saying that Truscott had to be jailed for his “bizarre and perverted activities.”
What is manure fetish?
Manure fetishism, while unusual, is a specific form of coprophilia, a recognized sexual paraphilia involving an attraction to feces. Such fetishes are part of a broader spectrum of paraphilic interests that involve unusual or unconventional stimuli for sexual arousal. Like many fetishes, a manure fetish may develop from early life experiences, psychological associations, or exposure to specific scenarios during critical developmental periods. They often intertwine with feelings of taboo, control, and sensory stimulation.
Psychological Understanding
The attraction to substances like manure can be tied to the interplay between disgust and arousal, a phenomenon that has intrigued psychologists. The simultaneous repulsion and fascination associated with such acts amplify emotional and physiological responses, heightening sensations of arousal for some individuals. These responses can stem from deep-seated psychological associations or even trauma, where a negative experience is transformed into a source of comfort or stimulation through complex mental mechanisms?
Social and Cultural Implications
Historically, taboo fetishes often remain hidden due to societal judgment and stigma. Such behaviors are rarely discussed openly, which can lead to a lack of understanding and perpetuation of stereotypes. However, as conversations about paraphilias and sexual health become more inclusive, fetishes like manure-related interests are increasingly studied in the context of broader human sexual diversity.
In some cases, individuals involved in this fetish may seek communities that share or understand their interests. The internet has enabled such groups to connect and share experiences, reducing feelings of isolation but sometimes reinforcing behaviors that might otherwise have been moderated by societal norms.
Treatment and Management
For individuals experiencing distress or dysfunction due to their fetish, psychotherapy is often recommended. Techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can help explore the origins of the fetish and address any underlying emotional needs or traumas. For others, simply having a space to discuss and understand their preferences without shame may be enough to manage their feelings healthily.
Where compulsive or disruptive behaviors emerge, treatments might include behavior modification or even medication, such as SSRIs, to address obsessive-compulsive tendencies or reduce intrusive thoughts associated with the fetish?
Broader Reflection
Unpacking such fetishes helps illuminate the vast spectrum of human sexuality and the profound effects of psychological, cultural, and biological influences on behavior. While manure fetishism remains a fringe interest, it underscores the importance of understanding rather than shaming atypical sexual behaviors, fostering greater compassion for the complexities of human desire.

OOO!. That is one stinky fetish!
Holy flying fecal matter! Here I am, thinking that it is freaky enough to hear about how some people have a fetish for urinating on each other before, during, and/or after sex.
Uh, I must say, this guy’s cow manure fetish has those people beat, in the bizarre sexual fetish category. Getting jailed for 2 years sounds a little harsh, but since he was a repeat offender, it makes more sense. I mean really, can you imagine owning a farm and going out there and seeing some freak masturbating amid cow dung? Dang!
Just when I thought I was a little freaky. This guys needs to be a show about strange addiction
