A member asked:

Is it possible for coprophilia to be genetically passed on to your children?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doubtful: We just don't know THAT much about the genetics of any mental illness yet, let alone a symptom as specific as coprophilia. I WOULD say that children of ill parents are more likely to be SOME type of ill themselves, regardless of if they are raised by bios. And MAYBE a parent who had coprophilia is likelier to unconsciously reinforce it in their child environmentally? Just thinking while sci works
