Reaction of real doctors to medical fetish

Has anyone ever discussed their fascination or fetish with doctors and medical examinations with a genuine psychologist or councillor? I have never had the courage to discuss it with my GP, but often wonder what the reaction would be. Would she allow me to watch her examine other patients. I very much doubt it.

Hugh - the reaction would first of all be negative - probably rather like the reaction if you asked her opinion on alternative medecine like osteopathy, chiropractice or homeopathy.

Your suggestion you be allowed to observe would probably result in a call to the cops or at the very least removal from your doctors list

About ten years ago I had an appointment with the most reputate Portuguese Sexologist and psychiatr about my medical fetish. I was married then and he encouraged me to introduce my fantasies in my sexual practices with my wife, removing my guilt. It worked well. Now with a common doctor GP or anyother you really must be very careful and no doctor ever will allow you to watch him or her examining other patients, taht's for sure.

I doubt there are any doctors who would allow any one to observe his/her physical examination on any patient. Think it'll probably blow into a legal case if the patient finds out he's being watched...

As for me, I don't think I would bring it up for a physical or anything like that, it's not something that could do harm or cause any permanent change to your body and it's functioning, so I don't think that a GP would really need to know. For psychologists or other forms of emotional and mental evaluation it might be helpful to kind of understand it at least. Why would you be the patient or doctor, how does that translate to your life, that sort of thing it might be helpful to think about if not bring it up. And no self respecting doctor would let someone who was not medical personal sit in on any exam.

There is no way I'd tell my doctor. I wouldn't even know where to begin this type of conversation.

My first wife had accidently mentioned to her gynecologist that I used a vaginal speculum on her while I was there in the examining room. The gynecologist looked at me and asked why I would do such a thing. My first wife explained to him, while she was still in the stirrups, that we played doctor. he got extremely mad and said that I had no business inserting the speculums into my wife's vagina and that I could cause serious damage to her. Then, he wanted to know where I got the speculum. Based on my experience, this prDoctors need to understand that we are not ignorant.I remember when I was 11 years old back in the mid 70's when my parents bought me some real doctor tools. I had an otoscope, ophthalmoscope and blood pressure cuff and I told my pediatrician about it and he said that non-medical people should not have these types of medical tools in their possession. It seems like many times that doctors want to talk down to us. I thought the doctor and patient have the same goal to keep the patient healthy. Doctors in the 70's didn't want people to take their own blood pressure. Now, you can monitor your own blood pressure and be aware sooner if there is a problem.obably something you might not want to discuss with your doctor.

Well, Medfetcouple, thank you for your post and may I say that the reaction of your doctor even if prdictible was very rude. We are hoping for more open minds in everybody and also in our doctors but in the meantime - take care people, cause this doctor's reaction is an example of what we can get

Doctors know that keeping the knowledge for themselves is a form of power. Fortunately some members of the medical comunity are more and more promoting the importance of self-exams and more recently the exam of the partner (take a look in the video section of my post "how to make a breast exam in your girlfriend").Knowledge of our bodies should be encouraged by doctors and if you are a couple than get to know in detail the partner's body is not only natural (in sexual terms), but useful in terms of health questions. Anyway if somebody finds something uncommon off course that will go immediately see a doctor.

Either those doctors are too "old school" to be in touch with modern medicine or they have so little confidence in themselves and their skills that they perceive a patient with some knowledge as being a threat to their livelyhood. Doctors are not Gods, they are professionals educated in a specific field and no more exhalted than an Engineer or Physicist.

Doctor are partners in a patient's health, one is nothing without the other. Patients who are in tune with their bodies are to be commended and not condemned. No patient should suggest they know more than their doctor even if they do, but on the other hand every patient is an experiment of sorts as no two patients will react the same to a certain medication or therapy. No one knows a patient better than they know themselves.

With most diseases including cancer, the earlier the diagnosis the greater the chances of a positive outcome. A patient who regularly monitors their blood pressure without a cause is likely to have better cardiac health than one who doesn't. A patient who checks their blood glucose regularly is more likely to correct diet and exercise patterns before the onset of Type 2 Diabetes. Regular visualization of the cervix by the patient or a partner won't prevent cervical cancer however any other changes from the "normal" will lead a sensible girl to seek professional advice. Patient education and self-examination are key to maintaining good health and nothing a responsible physician would ever discourage.

If your physician does not encourage your full participation in your daily health they are not partners but rather dictators. Chances are that you will outlive them anyway so you might as well find someone more in tune with today's world..

I have to disagree slightly. where s its good to be healthy and exercise, the availability of blood pressure monitors and such things have increased the number of over cautious patients going to their doctor, which is fine if you pay for it, but in the UK most don't and therefore wasting valuble time that could have been spent with someone whos in actual need to of help.These type of things available in shops aren't nearly as accurate as ones used in the profession and have created a nation of hypochondriacs.

obviously i'm excluding self breast and testical exams as they are done by your self rather than a machine which is unreliable.We go to the doctor for help for something we dont have the answer to yet, these days it seems like alot of patients going in there say whats wrong with them rather than letting the doctor find out..... not much point in going if you know whats wrong. let the doctor do his job, they shouldnt have to be given 20 questions every visit.

If a patient finds their blood pressure is high and seeks advice that is not a frivilous use of a social medicine system such as NHS. Statistics prove that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Someone who is aware of their cardiac health and discusses with their doctor will likely undertake a more healthy lifestyle to control it early. In the long term as that person ages they will cost the system much less overall.

Most are extremely accurate, the technology is mature and not born yesterday. If you have any doubts as to the accuracy, take it with you to your doctor and compare it to their readings.

Are you suggesting that the doctor has ESP or X-ray vision? Unless you have a baseball size tumor growing off your back or some other obvious problem, the doctor is going to assume you are healthy. The only way they can diagnose an otherwise blatant illness is by patient feedback. By discussing symptoms to the best of a patient's ability the "doctor's job" is more likely to be productive.

Would you believe that perhaps your doctor already knows of your interest. I have patients that I am sure are med fet interested just because of the questions they ask and teh manner in which they ask them.

I must weigh in here on the side of schistosomiasis, that we as informed patients are (or ought to be) full partners with our medical professionals concerning our own health, and any doctor threatened by having an informed patient should be fired and replaced. I'm not sure you want to spring your med-fet interests first thing out of the box with your new doctor -- but on the other hand, if you cannot be honest with him or her about how you really feel, and how you live, then there is a fundamental problem with the relationship. I tend to think that a player who submits to regular exams by informed play partners may be more apt to catch something new (and potentially threatening) before it mushrooms into a fullblown serious health problem.

Of course, some of the edgier forms of play may actually result in needing to seek real medical care for an infection or other issue (let the player beware). In that case, how much better to have a doctor who understands the risks you are taking, and is prepared to treat you with the dignity you deserve. This topic falls into the same category as communicating with a partner or spouse about one's proclivities. Secrets tend to explode on us at the most inopportune times. Full disclosure is always the best policy. Find a medical partner with whom you can be completely candid, and hang on to him or her for dear life!

I thank the original poster for getting this important discussion started, and look forward to continued responses from others of you!

I personally can't see any reason why I would tell my real doctors about my med fetish.

He is men just like us.

some male doctor can have erotica feeling when take examine sexy female.

and i heard, some real doc have touch their beauty patient

.

As latex doctor stated(that your GP knows) we think our GP knows of our interest( exposure) ,we can see it on his behaviour when we visit him( we always go see him the 2 of us together. he's ever so friendly,talks about lots of things with us,also private things like the way we go out etc...

and....most important to us...he easily let jol expose herself.meaning...he easily let her undress,even for minor things.however ,he NEVER gave sign he's aware of our interest.

we can only THINK he knows but we are very much sure he does !

Just because I'm not ignorant it doesn't give me a PHD(just my two two cents about the doctor "overreacting" on page one, I think he was just concerned and went overboard on his reaction). Anyways i am going to talk about my fetish during my next appt with my therapist (MA) when I go to my next session and will keep the board posted as to what is to come out of it. Also I've thought about talking to my dr about it, she seems to be open minded and caring so I'm not really worried about her reaction just as long as I'm mature and respectful when talking about my concerns.

At least in the US, a Dr. would NEVER allow anyone to watch them examine another patient. It's a little thing called "HIPPA" that protects the privacy of all.

And this is only my opinion, but, to those that want to talk to their Dr's or therapists about their fetish, almost sounds like a call for help to me. Otherwise, I would agree with one of your last posts, it's private, belongs behind closed doors.Again,just my opinion...

Maria - You've got ir RIGHT! Most Dr. (if not all) that I have used, would NOT go there.

Loveburns,

From the way her describe her, your doctor may discuss it with you and either have some advice or at least help you feel more comfortable. Good luck.

From my experience, most physicians are professionals, and if they have a medical fetish, are very careful not to let it interfer with their practice. Most physicians I have known, I have trusted, and have been able to confide in them any personal questions I may have. I can not see a physician letting someone watch him/her examine another patient because of the possibility of a law suit, and loosing his/her license. I have talked with others on this forum that say they are physicians, but enjoy their medical fetish away from the office, and under very discrete circumstances. I think most people outside the medical fetish would refer anyone they knew had a medical fetish, to a psychiatrist, or a sexologist.

I would never discuss my med fetish with my real Doctor. I think by doing so would make future visits uneasy for both of us.

I would also hope my own Doctor does not share the same fetish.

As for your Doctor allowing you to watch other exams after revealing your fetish....that's not going to happen.

The only option I see is that the patient (the one to be observed) agree with this situation, and I m sure it is very possible

I had a rather open relationship with one of my New York doctors. His practice, when I showed up the first time, was so brand new that his office was in boxes all over the floor and he was the only one present. The first time I had my exam, I ended up pre-cumming which he may or may not have noticed. Having stripped completely naked for my second appointment, he told me to take everything off including underwear from that point on. He knew that I did male bodywork. He was involved in the leather community. And once I brought in about eight guys for a 'swim team physical' which was pure fantasy for the other 'swim team' members but I didn't clue him into this. He may, or may not, have figured this out, being a smart guy. 😃
