Circumcision and Medical Fetish

Someone wrote in another thread that a discussion about circumcision was the start of his medical fetish.

Do other men think the same? Was the evocation of circumcision the beginning of your medical fetish? This question can also be addressed to men who have not been circumcised, but who have heard of it.

I often thought about the beginning of my medical fetish. During the last exam where I undressed without any problem in front of a doctor, he mentioned my circumcision and said that it was very good. It is a memory that is still very present, so it marked me.

At the next exam, I am sure that I was already a fetishist. Despite my young age (7 years old), I remember being surprised not to have had an erection when the female doctor put her hand in my panties. So I had already made a connection between a medical examination and sexual arousal.

It could be the doctor's interest in my circumcision that triggered my medical fetish. Maybe it was an unconscious reminder of the operation that I didn't experience because I was too young.

I think my medical fetish is based on three main items: my cousin's circumcision and the examinations on me (which I associated to perhaps suffering the same fate), a digital rectal exam, and mom's suppositories. So yes, circumcision (not mine) is one major factor.

Yes , I have posted quite a lot about this but there's no doubt in my mind it all started when I was circumcised as a 5 /6 year old .. In the subsequent years and the dawn of the internet the medfet thing has become even more so ….

I doubt that it ever had a major influence in my med fetish, but maybe in a small part somewhere along the line it could have. I was aware that males were not always exactly the same down there, but just accepted it as a fact of life, as I did that females did not all have the same breast sizes. It was more or less knowing that all people were not alike physically. However, I think that it was the fact that everyone was a bit different physically and also with different health issues that cemented it for me as a part of why I had a med fetish. I was around a lot of ill people when I was growing up and it made me more empathetic with the illnesses that people had. I wanted to actually be a doctor. I was fascinated by all the equipment and medicines that could be used to make people feel better. So when I realized I was never going to become a real doctor, my med fetish never left me and so I settled for being a play doctor so that I could continue with my med fetishes…all because I knew no two people were exactly alike physically, emotionally, or when it came to health issues.

It played a major role in my feticism development. I avoided the surgery but I have to cope many humiliating examinations by pediatricans. Due to my phimosis I had a few procedures requiring the use of surgical instruments (similar to t hose ised in circumcision) , suffering pain and having unavoidably manipulated sensitive tissue like the glans and the frenulum. This was a form of medical domination that becomes my paraphilia in adult age.

I don't think I'm a medical fetishist, most medical stuff does not do it for me! But there is something special about circumcision due to my phimosis, about the way it was brought on me. Difficult to explain.

I feel that uncircumcised penises are more hot in a medical fantasy, as the doctor can instruct the patient to retract the foreskin to specifically examine the glans. So it adds one more level of exposure and humiliation. This situation does not apply to circumcised penises.

There are various types of medical play possible with an intact penis with foreskin.

You can insert metal implements like a small teaspoon under the foreskin to 'check' for adhesions. It's usually best to put some liquid soap, lotion or lubrication on the spoon metal first. Then you can slowly insert the spoon and move the spoon around over the glans. Or you can use two such things and then pull them apart, so stretching the opening of the foreskin. A nice game to play for checking for or 'treating' phimosis. I used to use wooden popsicle sticks for this until I chanced upon small spoons and some other metal things. Just be sure the edges are not sharp.

The doctor can also insert a finger into the opening and then feel around under the foreskin while it is not retracted. A bit of liquid soap or lotion or massage oil or whatever helps in this instance too.

This kind of play can include frenulum checking with an un-retracted foreskin. But unless doing it to yourself, be gentle with this kind of play. Frenulums are delicate and sensitive things.

And then there is always mock circumcision play or making preparations for a mock/pretend circumcision. This can induce both arousal and a tad of anxiety at the same time.

And there can all sorts of measuring games to be played with a foreskin, using rulers or calipers, to note the length inside or outside, or when stretched up or to measure the opening. Can't do any of that when you're circumcised.

@agracier

Yes. Bonus point that the foreskin keeps the glans extra sensitive for play after exposing it😈

The pain of a circumcision can be reproduced so that the experience of being circumcised can be relived. Hopefully then what makes this kind of fantasy so attractive can be investigated.

A lot of my play examinations are concerning circumcision simulated surgery. Clamping and sutures are done with real circumcision instruments (and without anhestetics) while the cutting part was simulated with a blunt scalpel connected to a tens unit (ouch!). My playdoctor has a medicine background and tried to make all as much realistic as possible. Everytime she attempted to understand what makes it so attractive to me despite the pain.

Circumcision is definitely not a part of my medfet interest. If anything it makes me feel nauseous and disgusted. That it was done to me has had major negative implications in my life, and to hear that another boy or man has been subjected to the practice leaves me shocked and numb. So many aspects of this practice are just contrary to everything I understand about life, anatomy, physiology, human/civil rights, justice, and how people behave toward one another. Even common sense seems to go out the window when people advocate for and defend the practice. For consenting adults who want to modify their bodies, I believe that should be their right and I envy them for having the choice. But I do wish that people would do their research and better understand the function and anatomy of what they are seeking to amputate. Even doctors receive no instruction in medical school about the structures and functions of foreskin, but they are certainly expected to be able to destroy them on demand. And for men who were cut as infants who claim they prefer their circumcised state, how are you any different than a man blind from birth attempting to describe the color red? Better yet, trying to describe the color red, and being proud of their answer?

Just FYI, here is one of my favorite videos demonstrating how sex is deifferent with foreskin: https://www.xvideos.com/video38142021/how_a_natural_uncircumcised_penis_works

The assumption of somehow being physically/socially or religiously superior because of being circumcised, is one of the least attractive manifestations of the practice.

It is said that circumcision derived from the practice being performed on the elite in Antiquity, Egyptian priestly castes are often cited as being originators. Then over time being copied by nobility and the lesser classes. But it always seemed to be accompanied by airs of social distinction, of somehow being better than others not chosen to be cut in that special manner. And then it evolved to being a sign of special distinction to becoming socially mandatory in becoming an accepted member in a special social/religious group. No circumcision then you're not part of that group.

It is also said that circumcision as practiced in Antiquity wasn’t performed with the goal of excising the whole foreskin. It is thought that the procedure was limited only to amputating the ridged band at the tip of the foreskin where the muscle pulls it taught on a flaccid penis. I have also seen critiques recently that take issue with the accepted interpretation of the artwork that seems to show Egyptians practicing circumcision, except no one seems to be able to find anything resembling a blade, or excised tissue, or blood which can clearly be seen in other artwork depicting injuries or medical procedures. I think there is some suggestion that rather than having surgery performed on their penises, these rather depict sex acts being performed. There also seems to be written evidence that the circumcision performed today was a Jewish innovation intended to prevent circumcised Hellenistic athletes who were Jewish from pulling forward and tying their remaining foreskin at times when circumcised athletes were barred from competitions.

Circumcision is such a symbolic operation in many of its aspects that it is impossible to have an objective approach. We can debate ad nauseam about its meaning, its usefulness, its advantages, its disadvantages, it will never be possible to find a consensus between its supporters and its detractors.

On a forum like Zity, it must be admitted that some people consider it to belong to the medical fetishism and the fantasies, the discussions have also been transferred to the right place.

Why should there ever be a definite consensus about the procedure? The discussions alone are interesting and intriguing and allow members to hear about and ponder all the different approaches to the subject.

Whether a member is pro or con, as long as the discussions remain polite and factually correct much can be learned by both sides of the discussion or even by those who take no side. It remains an interesting subject. I don't think there is any attempt to convert people to the practice. It remains intriguing since there are many different ways to approach circumcision: historically, religiously, as a fetish, a social conformity requirement, hygienically ...

I doubt there will ever be a consensus. Nor is there any need to. Members are usually conversing on a subject that intrigues them. A valid enough reason to continue.

Interesting. I've not encountered this in anything I've read on the subject but I can understand the reasoning ... perhaps it was a manner of preventing the Hellenization of Jews in general, a way to prevent apostasy, not only in athletic competitions, but in other aspects of daily life too.

As a way of preventing assimilation into the wider world of Classical Roman/Greek Antiquity.

I wasn't specific enough in my previous post. Talking about these symbolic aspects is indeed interesting. What I'm not interested in is proselytizing for or against circumcision.

I would like to point out that this is my personal opinion and not that of the moderator that I am also. Everyone is free to speak about what he want about circumcision.

I understood that. I would think it to be implicit in a polite and adult discussion.

I've stated often enough in other posts that I am not circumcised but I am fascinated by it since my parents were so split on the issue and I was sort of stuck in the middle of it all. Even in their last years it was still a topic of argument amongst them ... ha ha

For me it was the obvious difference in social expectations on my father's side along with both the cultural and direct historical experiences on my mother's side.

@agracier Even in their last years it was still a topic of argument amongst them ... ha ha

Interesting... never remember my dad mentioning it. Only remember my mom mentioning it once or twice when I was very young - saying it was good for cleanliness...

My father was almost pathologically obsessed with the notion that not being circumcised would mean inevitable recurring infections that would become uncurable and require amputation. He literally lectured me on this once when we were driving (and I couldn't leave the car) and got all worked up. I was getting married a few weeks later and he thought I had to get myself in order beforehand. As if he didn't know my gf and I had been fucking for some 5 years already and still my prick hadn't fallen off ... ha ha

My mother on the other hand had known too many Jewish friends and acquaintances deported (with a number never returning) during the Occupation and associated circumcision with danger, danger of being a target of whatever genocidal obsession was on the menu du jour.

When my younger brother was born in the US, she expressly wanted no circumcision done, but the doctor did it anyway. She was enraged about that and often brought it up whenever discussing the (many) faults of my father and/or the way women were treated in the 1950s in the US.

So, it was something of a constant in my life. Even being brought up at a Christmas Eve dinner once to my horrified embarrassment. And my wife, grinning from ear to ear, assured all present I wasn't cut. I wanted to crawl up the turkey's ass and disappear ... ha ha ha

would become uncurable and require amputation

Oh wow! Now that would scare the heck out of me!

Oh, I knew my father was flying off the handle with his exaggerations. But his lecturing and getting all worked up at the same time pissed me off to no end ... he meant well I suppose, but his ideas were the result of hearing nothing else but such nonsense when young in the US.
