When I worked in Aus i went to see a friend who worked on a dairy farm. He was milking at the time i offered to help,as i had Good thongs on my feet i kicked them off and squelched through the much barefoot. Quite a nice feeling

This is actually rather an interesting subject! I was forced to play team game at school and my hatred of anything associated with 'sports' probably stems from that!

As the OP is so open and frank, I wonder if he can suggest the origins and reasons for his fetish? He must have thought about it. He sounds a lot more sensible than some who occasionally post on here asking for access to our land!

I don't have children, but I understand that babies initially have no repugnance for their own poo. Some will even taste it given the chance. They have to be taught, so it is not instinctive. Any comments from parents? Or even unreformed poo eaters??

@Dry Rot are you possibly suggesting that you perceive this request as "more sensible" than detecting? :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I am very much a live & let live type and what consenting folk get up to in their own domain is up to them but even I find the request just a bit.... ermmm.... odd. Let alone the health risks........ even us detecting types wear gloves!

In answer to your query I don`t recall consuming my own :poop: as an infant.

But that doesn't mean you didn't, does it?;)

I could hide a horse-shoe and a broken old plough point in the muck heap if any similar-minded detectorists want to go over that.

To be honest my first memory from childhood is when I worked out that I could fit my legs through the bars of the cot and tip it over, land on my feet & "escape" !
Aged about 4 or 5 is emptying a packet of Persil down the kitchen sink & running the hot tap to make "bubbles".................................... the sharp pain afterwards left it embedded in my memory.
That and drinking half a bottle of sherry & two bottles of Gold Label destined for the Christmas Pud at the age of 6...... "I only looked in the sideboard".............. no memories of eating my own :poop:

Hi @Dry Rot. Thanks for the reply. Over the years I've given it a lot of thought (bring on the fapping jokes!) and the honest answer is that I simply don't know (fetishes come in all shapes and sizes and it's not clear where they come from - although childhood experience is probably an important factor). I guess it probably stems from my time as a child growing up near the countryside and that anything to do with poo of any kind is viewed as taboo (then it's not a huge leap to developing an unusual interest). And thanks to those who have pointed out the health issues surrounding such activities, I recognise that there is inherent risk and I would never in a million years want anyone other than myself to be liable.

I honestly wish I could help you, but all I have here is horses and their dung is pretty mundane stuff. Anyway, it is mostly left in the field until harrowed in. I am located in the far north of Scotland which is too far away for most people! I genuinely wish you all the best in your quest!

I think what we all want to know is the details of what you want to do?
I'm not sure I get it if I'm honest but whatever floats your boat.

Hi @spikeislander, thanks for the reply. So to be honest anything from rolling around in a muck heap to taking a dip in a slurry pond to getting covered by a slurry spreader. At the end of the day, whatever the farmer in question is happy with (and of course assuming that it's not a gigantic inconvenience - and I'm happy to pay to try and offset that).

I think something similar came up on another forum. I felt obliged to point out that there are some strange obsessions that are a lot more general. For example, a lot of females of the species homo sapiens douse themselves with secretions of the anal glands of the civet cat....apparently because we men like the smell!:rolleyes:
