“…The author then corresponded privately online with Jeff and asked if he would like to be interviewed as a case study for academic publication. Jeff agreed to be interviewed online about his salirophilic behavior, and the remaining data in this paper comes from the online asynchronous interviewsa methodological technique that has been used in previous paraphilic case study research (Greenhill & Griffiths, 2014).…”

“…However, the internet has led to the formation of many online groups and online forums where like-minded paraphiles meet and discuss their specific paraphilias with each other such as the zoophiles in the Beast Forum (individuals who derive their sexual satisfaction from animals; Maratea, 2011), eproctophiles in the Gassy Forum (individuals who derive their sexual satisfaction from flatulence; Griffiths, 2013), and dacryphiles in the Crying Lovers Forum (individuals who derive their sexual satisfaction from crying individuals; Greenhill & Griffiths, 2015, 2016, to name just a few. This has led to an increasing number of studies that have used the internet to recruit paraphiles to participate in research studies, as well as the use of online research methods to collect the data such as online interviewing (Greenhill & Griffiths, 2014). Over the last decade, there have been a number of studies that have reported paraphilic behavior by using online methodologies, including studies into feederism (Terry & Vasey, 2011), zoophilia (Beetz, 2004;Miletski, 2005;Williams & Weinberg, 2003), and hypoxyphilia (Hucker, 2011).…”

Salirophilia is a paraphilic sexual fetish in which individuals experience sexual arousal from soiling or disheveling the object of their desire. To date, there has been no academic or clinical research into salirophilia,and there are no published peer-reviewed papers – not even a single case study. Therefore, this paper presents the first case study account of a salirophile, a 58-year-old heterosexual male. The areas of interest that were examined included his background relating to childhood experiences of sex, other cooccurring paraphilic interests, and a detailed overview of his engagement in salirophilic acts. It was found that his interest in salirophilic acts dated back to his childhood, and based on the account given, the behavior is most likely explained by classical conditioning. It was also found that there were many other paraphilic behaviors that co-occurred with salirophilia, including sadism, urophilia, coprophilia, and zoophilia. The case study highlights the importance of online methods in the recruitment of individuals and the collection of data with sexually paraphilic behavior for academic study.
