Emetophilia, commonly known as a vomit fetish, is a type of paraphilia in which an individual is sexually aroused by vomit. This may mean the action of vomiting, observing others vomit, or the substance of vomit itself. Some emetophiles have been known to practice their emetophilia by vomiting on a partner; this practice is often called a Roman shower, named after the commonly mistaken belief in the frequent induction of vomiting at Roman feasts.

Some emetophiles find the act of vomiting arousing; for them, the sequence of "spasm, ejaculation, relief" in vomiting is erotically charged. Other emetophiles are aroused by seeing, hearing, and/or smelling other people vomit. Some even desire a partner who will vomit on them, while others wish to induce vomiting in a partner, or even force them to vomit (wanting to be vomited on may be related to a desire to be dominated, while wanting to make someone else vomit may stem from a desire to dominate the partner - see erotic humiliation). Emetophiles may have any combination of these desires at a time.
