Have you heard of the mucus fetish? Mucophilia is just one is one of many kinks centered around bodily fluids.
For most of us, snot is a matter of out of sight, out of mind. We politely empty our sinuses into a tissue and then discreetly discard it. If we happen to see mucus left over on someone’s nose or accidentally land on someone else’s used Kleenex, we may feel a wave of revulsion.
Snot is a private matter, one of allergies or a cold, and while it is perfectly natural, it’s not something we particularly enjoy.
And then there’s the rest of us. Some among us actually have a mucus fetish and find snot sexually exciting.
It sometime seems there’s a fetish for everything! You name it, someone’s getting off on it.
Achoo! Yes, even the snotty stuff. It actually makes sense: every bodily fluid from urine to eye juice can be physically arousing. And anything that is secret or taboo, from periods to poo, is erotic to someone.

And, as with most fetishes, mucophilia comes with a wide range of erotic triggers and some folks respond to all of them with others getting very specific, and only finding one particular aspect enjoyable or arousing.
What is Mucus Fetish?
Generally speaking, mucophilia involves being turned on by mucus. Folks with this fetish are sexually aroused by the idea of snot, the texture of it, the taste and smell. They may want to touch it, lick it, or rub it on various parts of their bodies.
How to Satisfy Your Mucus Fetish
There are tons of porn videos made for mucophiles, with hot women horking or blowing their nose. You won’t have to look hard for visual stimulation. You’ll also find humiliation, sissification or other femdom vids galore that might show some snot. But will you find a real-life woman who is a mucophile?
One of the unfair things in life is that with most kinks, genuine female fetishism is rare. For example, millions of men have a foot fetish, but not many women have a corresponding kink for having their feet touched or admired. That one is easy to be a generous participant, however. Telling your girlfriend that you want her phlegm gobs might not appeal in the same way.
That said, you might luck out with a domina. And if your snot kink is more attached to sneezing, the sneeze fetish does attract a lot of women. You also have the option to pay a professional who can give you what you want. But you might find a willing girlfriend if you keep it fun and don’t expect it to be the main course all the time.

Ways to Play with Snot Fetishism
There are some other kinks that work well for those with mucus fetish. Here are some ways and crossover kinks that people who love snot enjoy.
Femdom and Humiliation
For some, the snot fetish is more about humiliation and degradation—being a human garbage disposal for a domme’s body fluids, being degraded or mocked, being controlled.
For these folks, the specific draw may be the humiliation, not the mucus in particular. Many have both and are hoping their punishment is being forced to clean up the domme’s face or nose.
Snot Erotica
For others, mucophilia has nothing whatsoever to do with humiliation and the substance is not humiliating but alluring. This doesn’t really differ from golden showers or urine kinks—for some fetishists, it is connected with the idea of being pissed on or being treated like a human toilet. But many find urine exciting for other reasons. It feels good to piss, it’s warm, it’s taboo, it’s sexy to watch.
Mucophilia may involve collecting tissues disposed of by the object of one’s affection, as well as licking, touching, or eating the snot.
Nasolingus
Some people find the nose to be an extremely erotic body part.
They may want to touch the nose or be penetrated or stroked by the nose. Nasolingus is the licking and sucking of the nose. Some folks are really aroused by the idea of or actually sucking on the nose and penetrating the nostrils with their tongue.
Again, this fetish may be connected with the desire for mucus, or the presence of mucus may be incidental—a nice addition but not the main draw.
Sneeze Fetishism
Mucophilia is often connected with sneeze fetishism, for obvious reasons. A sneeze fetishist may not be attracted to mucus or be neutral—it is sound, ceremony, and the explosion of the sneeze that thrill. But often they go together.

The sneeze fetish may seem obscure, but it is quite common. Sneeze fetish forums and sneezing videos attract thousands. There are specific forums for furry fetishists—folks who enjoy dressing up as stuffed animals—who are also into sneezing.
The sneeze has long held parallels to orgasm in the human imagination. Few physiological functions involve involuntary explosions, so the connection is automatic to many. But for some, the connection is actual and physical—for years it has been observed that some people orgasm when they sneeze, or sneeze when they orgasm!
In 1901, a book called Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine reported on “the case of a man, who, when prompted to indulge in sexual intercourse, was immediately prior to the act seized with a fit of sneezing. Even the thought of sexual pleasure with a female was sufficient to provoke this peculiar idiosyncrasy.”
The phenomenon of sneezing during orgasm or sexual arousal does happen, and even has a colloquial name in the medical literature: honeymoon rhinitis.
Doctors blame the autonomic nervous system, which runs our unconscious systems. Mixed signals or crossover signals are extremely common in many spheres.
Mucus Fetish Safety
One thing to keep in mind is that mucus is not generally safe. It is bodily waste expelled to help remove germs from the body. Mucus may contain colds, flus, and a range of viruses and infections! Even allergy sneezes or a nose running from irritation will produce toxins.
You can aim to use substitutes, or just watch and fantasize. Just be aware of the risks before you engage in hands-on play.
