Steth and heartbeat fetish: sexual or not?

Hi everybody,

I'd love to learn about a very basic question which is not solved definitely:

Is the Stethoscope and Heartbeat Fetish a sexual one or not?

According to my own experience, it is definitely a sexual fetish.

But sometimes however, people were completely upset when I told them that for me, it's a sexual fetish. People even stopped contact with me then. So, I often do not dare to disclose, that it's sexual.

For me, it's sexual because it has to do with women's body, her breasts, with rubber (steth tubes, I'm a bit of a rubber fetishist, too), with the intimacy of heartbeat, which reveals unconciously sexual arousal; perhabs, the stethoscope is also sybolic for the penis, because it kind of "penetrates" the woman's body ? And there are certainly more reasons...

Anyway, I'like to hear about your opinions whether it's sexual or asexual ! Thank you.

I agree with you redstethguy. For me it is a sexual thing, from the sight of the stethoscope and chest to the sound of the heartbeat.

For me, listening to a female chest is very intimate and sexual.

For me its completely sexual. I can get turned on by stething talk or the sound of a heartbeat alone.

Wonderfully sexual.

I like your theory about "penetrating", by the way. Had never thought of this. By listening through a stethoscope, one does "get inside" someone else, in a sense.

Regards

Definitely. I could rest my head on my girlfriend's breast and listen to her for hours, hearing her getting faster or slower depending on what I do and say to her.

Absolutely sexual. The most intimate thing I have ever done sexually. Stething your partner is highly erotic. Love it.

@DocHeart:

Yes, it' a kind of "Penetration" for me. With your stethoscope (word greek origin: stethos copein - breast watching (but a an Greek, I don't have to tell you that ;-), you penetrate accoustically the woman's body at her other very intimate spot: the heart. And she can't hide her excitement, when her heart begins to race. And you as the examiner, you are behind your white doctor's coat and you don't disclose anything of you mood or your exitement. (...only if your erction is too big for the coat ;-) So, you exercise sort of power on the poor woman who can't do anything against it. That's reason because I think, it's a "penetration". It's no "bloody" penetration with a scallpell, but it's a "sexual" penetration as well. And we men do like sexual penetrations, don't we ;-)))

Speaking as a guy who likes and is aroused by women's breasts as much as any man alive--being able to listen to a woman's heart is an even bigger turn-on than seeing and touching her breasts. Of course, it is essential for a woman's breasts to be exposed to get a good listen all around her heart, and if she's a B cup or larger, her left breast has to be lifted a bit to get a good listen at the apex. The only thing that can improve the looks of a beautiful bare female chest is a well-placed stethoscope.

Yes, Steth, you're right: The only thing which can a beautiful bosom even make more beautiful, is a well placed Stethoscope on it!

Breasts and stethoscopes have a lot in common, that's also one of the reasons why female heart beats and stethoscope are part of the sex life.

Would agree with alot of what has been posted so far.

It can be as sexual as you want it to be! For me personally, I get aroused when listening to someone's or my own heartbeat. But that's about as far as it gets for me. I tend to enjoy the actual fetish more than get sexual enjoyment out of it. But it's a little different for everyone I think.

It's very interesting, because for me it is the most erotic and the most romantic thing at the same time.

For me this is most definitely sexual. Arrousal at the sight of a female and stethoscope is almost immediate. I love to watch them being used on females and I love to use them on females. It is a very intimate part of an exam. Red you make some great points about the 'penetration' and some good research on the origins of the word 'stethoscope'. I would never be frightened to tell people your feelings on how this is a sexual fetish for you. Not everyone will agree obviously but those who stop talking to you, you don't need them anyway.

Great thread so far.

It's entirely sexual for me. I hate going to the doctors and it's about as un-arousing as can be. But a sexy girl in my bed with a steth though and it's a totally different environment.

There are those who are fascinated with the actual sounds heard when auscultating. For me it's the intimate contact with the stethoscope on various areas of the female body, a hand on the patients shoulder the other applying a cold diaphragm or bell to a sensitive area..... definitely sexual for me.

Thank you, Rockdoc and Stemernm for your contributions!

Amazing, I love also very much to put my hand on the shoulder of the girl I steth.

It's entirely sexual for me. I hate going to the doctors and it's about as un-arousing as can be. But a sexy girl in my bed with a steth though and it's a totally different environment.

Yes, man, you're right: A sexy girl with a stethoscope in your bed - that's it !!!

Sensual and as a fetish is a turn on so sexual by nature

Sexual, it has never been different for me.

Yeah heartbeat fetish is sexual for me! its just a hugeeeeee turn on!!!!!!!!!!

My fascination with the sound of the heart beating started before I was sexually aware. Nowadays it's a very intimate and sexual act to listen to a guy's heart beating or to have a guy listen to my heart.

Hmm, I hadn't really thought about this til now but..when I'm having my heart beat checked by someone else it is sexual and when I'm the one auscultating it's non-sexual, though very comforting.

I think it is definatley a turn on. I can't really explain it other that than.

Hi Alice. I like to listen to a girls heartbeat and stimulate her while listening. Breast and nipple play for a start, I don't think I have to tell you where I go from there!

Absolutely a turn on (when playing doctor)!!!

On the other hand to real doctor when is a male it's uncomfortable, unfortunately I've never had a female doctor so I can't say if I would like or not...

I think that is basically sexual! Play doctor with my girlfriend could be very hot...But one day I'd like to do an experiment where i listen a lot of young woman heartbeat and I want to record that and make a video..! This is so hot for me...

Absolutely sexual.

I can get aroused at the sight of a stethoscope or BP cuff. A woman saying the words is arousing to me. My biggest fetish. Nothing sexier than an attractive woman with a stethoscope around her neck and a BP cuff in her hand. My heart has sped up just typing this response.

If you get hard, wet, think about sex before, during or after or have sex before, during or after, it is sexual.

If you listen to the heart and everybody just goes home, it isn't sexual.

For me it is sexual. That is why I'm a playdoc and not a real doc! I enjoy listening to a bare breasted female patient. Why??? I would guess it's the female body mixed with a stethoscope. It's not something I totally understand, I just know it majorly turns me on. Seeing another guy getting stethed just doesn't do it for me. I would be in huge trouble if I was a real doctor in another country where being examined in the nude is the norm.

Yes and no. Yes in the fact that seeing a woman stethed, or about to be (I often push the pause button in a video and watch the stethoscope hovering for ages) causes total instant arousal, and no in the fact that I do not fantasize about having sex with that woman. That is something completely different. Similarly, gyno does absolutely nothing for me whatsoever, nor does porn. Just stethoscopes! Even a non medfet picture of a topless woman, all I imagine is a stethoscope in all the lovely places, just depressing the skin.
