Does anyone else feel like they're forcing it while listening to non-cardiophiles?

This hasn't happened in all my relationships, but it can really almost be a deal breaker if you don't think your partner is really into the heart stuff as well, even on some level. I don't like things being about me all the time either. I've met another cardiophile before and the experience was incredible. So I wonder sometimes if I need to seek out a cardiophile relationship. What have your experiences been with this?

Hello.

I have had a relationship many years ago and my ex girlfriend was not into anything stethoscope-related like me. She would let me listen to her, but never really had as much fun with it as I did.

It makes me wonder what a meet-up with a cardiophile would be like. I hope to experience it someday!

Yes. I've never done a play session with another cardiophile, but I do feel like something is missing when my patient isn't really into being examined/listened to the same way I'm into examining/listening.

A little bit. I've started to feel a little awkward doing it with my current gf.

I don’t think it’s a deal breaker if your partner isn’t into it, and I personally feel like I try to throw it into the mix in ways that can be palatable to non-cardiophiles.

Admittedly, a lot of medical fetish people aren’t “into” listening to someone’s heartbeat, and certainly that doesn’t stop anyone from going through a play exam. If they are okay with satisfying my need for auscultation, then I think I can be okay with them not being into stethoscope play in the way I am, and likewise, I can be okay with things that I am not excited about but my partner is.

I’ve had intimate partners who very clearly weren’t into it, and it didn’t destroy the relationship. If I can occasionally get to at least ear steth them during any sort of intimate activity, then I can be okay with that. What I don’t think is cool is if they know it’s my “thing” and then try to actively undermine. I don’t think this has been the case ever for me, but it definitely would be difficult for me.
