He certainly has an esoteric fetish, but I'm not sure it's one that rises to the point of requiring psychological treatment. I mean, it's been around for a long time and been documented throughout history. Some counseling might help him better integrate his desires into his everyday life, but coprophilia in and of itself is not considered a mental illness so far as I know.
I know life can be hard on someone with such an off putting interest, and I can feel the OPs frustration.
That said though, I consider it unfortunate that the OP has chosen to make this an issue about others rather than look for potential partners in venues that might be appropriate. It seems that meeting someone in a bar let's say, having a few drinks together, a couple of dances, then dropping the whole shit eating thing on her lap is not going to play out well. Then to brand her close minded seems like a very bitter cherry on top of the whole pile.
I don't like waffles. I have never eaten a waffle. The look of them is disturbing and those uniform chambers oozing sticky sweet syrups is nauseating to me. I'm not close minded, I don't care if others eat them, it's not an issue to me, just not going to eat one myself.
OP, I support your desire to be yourself but I have to say you might want to consider other ways to achieve your Nirvana.
And use plenty of Altoids while you're at it....
Actually, the DSM would note that his fetish is hindering him socially and sexually and therefore does need to be treated by a professional. The DSM treats all fetishes (the object of sexual gratification to the point of needing that object to function sexually at all and as such causes social, occupational, or other significant dysfunction) with a blanket statement of "unhealthy".
This where "sexual enthusiasm" and "fetish" often get confused and, unfortunately, the word "fetish" is overly misused.
The DSM-IV-TR is the first issue of the DSM that removed homosexuality from the list of "bad".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coprophilia
Coprophilia (from Greek κόπρος, kópros—excrement and φιλία, filía—liking, fondness), also called scatophilia or scat,[1] is the paraphilia involving sexual pleasure from feces.[2][3] In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-IV-TR), it is classified under 302.9 Paraphilia Not Otherwise Specified and has no diagnostic criteria other than a general statement about paraphilias that says "the diagnosis is made if the behavior, sexual urges, or fantasies cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning." Furthermore, the DSM-IV-TR notes, "Fantasies, behaviors, or objects are paraphilic only when they lead to clinically significant distress or impairment (e.g. are obligatory, result in sexual dysfunction, require participation of nonconsenting individuals, lead to legal complications, interfere with social relationships)."
