Blood Play Literature

Its proven difficult to find anything about blood fetish practice, any help would be amazing.

I've had this fantasy, a doctor taking blood samples from my nipples.

Great fantasy and i am sure if the lab tech was patient the sample could be taken

might take a little while

I like blood, but it is not really a fetish.

If you buy a Blood Glucose Meter, the cost of the meter is often little more than the cost of the reagent strips. That will allow you to explore "blood play" in a meaningful manner since it uses fingerprick capillary blood which is very safe to withdraw.

If you are talking about venous blood drawing, unless you are a trained Phlebotomist with access to Vacutainer supplies you would be best to start with extensive research on the topic of Air Embolism.

In a real medical environment uncertified donor blood is considered as infectious waste and great efforts are taken to avoid exposure. Even if you know your play partner intimately, blood play is at the bottom of the list for "Safe and Sane" MedFet play.

Thank you for your response, DrJ58. It is well thought and reasonable. When I read these postings yesterday, I was wondering how to respond without sounding like a panic stricken fear monger. Now I don't have to, you've handled it with your usual aplomb! A karma for you.

I quite agree with you about the Blood Glucose Meter, quite safe and easy for anyone to do, just a tiny prick, and very appropriate to a medical play examination scene.

I know I'm generalizing, and this is not my area of fetish expertise, but it seems to me that blood play, with its inherent dangers, may cross over into the realm of vampire fetishism. That's not necessarily a bad thing, remember Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and Antonio Banderas in "Interview with the Vampire"? Any one of those can draw blood from me any time!

Play On!

Thanks Ladydocisin, karma to you too. We are always on the same page when it comes to safe sensible play.

A Blood Glucose Meter is an essential tool for any well equipped PlayDoc in my opinion. Major chain stores like Walgreen's or WalMart regularly have promotions like Diabetic Week where you may purchase a starter kit which essentially gives you the meter for free. The starter kit also includes a lancet device as well as Standards (premixed control solutions with known BG quantities to verify the meter's accuracy each time you start a new batch of reagent strips). The Pharmacists will usually be very helpful by explaining the full operation of the meter and differences between each model.

The most accurate sample is taken first thing in the morning before the patient has eaten or drank anything. This "fasting" value is a good indicator of normal endocrine function of the pancreas. The literature which is included with a meter explains normal values much better than I could here, however with most of my patients who have been on a GI prep diet limited to only water for 24 hours prior, I like to see something around 100 to 120 mg/dl (5.6 to 6.7 mmol/L). Anything dramatically higher is a concern which should be addressed with a real physician as it could be warning of the onset of diabetes. Anything lower requires immediate attention with an oral dose of glucose (white corn syrup or glucose tablets) and a re-check in 30-60 minutes. Typically a normal healthy patient will show a considerable increase in BG values within 15 minutes.

I would add that if there is any type of vampire fetishism, I suspect that may be satisfied in some instances as the patient often sucks their finger until it stops bleeding.

I'm a fully trained and experienced phlebotomist and it is possible to take blood from almost anywhere. My play patients often ask for odd blood-draws.

However, it can be tricky and should only be done by someone who knows what they are doing !!
