While BP checking is not a specific "fetish" item for me, I definitely enjoy it from a sensory aspect. The feeling of the cuff on my arm, feeling my pulse or listening with a stethoscope, etc. Much like a lot of folks here, I love it when a play doctor examines me during sexual stimulation and checks my BP during that kind of exam.
Not primarily my passion, I am a cardiophile and I love the sound of the heartbeat, but I like to check the blood pressure during the visit, because I can perceive the emotion of the patient (possibly a woman), I feel her radial pulse with my hand, I observe the expression on her face while the cuff inflates. I think it is the right complement to a steth session for fun, together with auscultation of the lungs.
My first encounter with the blood pressure cuff occurred during a sixth grade physical. The examining physician was a woman about fifty years of age. The school nurse had me sit in a chair in front of the doctor. She then stood behind be and pulled up my T-shirt. The doctor felt my neck and then had me open my mouth for a throat check. The stethoscope was dangling from her ears and she placed on my chest in three places. She turned me slightly and listened to my lungs. A Tycos aneroid hook cuff was on the desk and shseproceeded to wrap it around my left arm. The stethoscope was placed below the cuff and she started to pump it up. It was getting tighter and tighter and I wondered when she would stop. Finally she started to release the air and then removed the cuff. I didn't have a clue as to what she had just done to me. After the exam was over, I went back to my classroom relieved that this ordeal was over but at the same time I had this strange desire to have it done again. I thought about the physical for weeks. I wondered when I would have that "thing" put on my arm again. I started to learn more about it and eventually became aroused when I saw one. I didn't know it at the time but the blood pressure cuff (yes, thats what it called) squeezed me into the world of MedFed. I love the sound of the Baum cuff inflating and seeing the mercury column rise in the tube. The tighter the better. And I still have a lot of affection for a Tycos cuff. One thing I do hate are these digital electronic cuffs. The ones that go around the wrist I despise. The traditional method should be written into law. I have more to write but I think I will do that in segments. Thank you for all of your comments. And get your blood pressure checked soon!!!
A particular sensation I feel while the cuff is inflating is that of feeling my heart beating faster on the left side of my chest. I don't know why this happens to me, but I really like it and it excites me.
Well, I do have a blood pressure cuff fetish and I have had it for a long time. My first physical examination was administered by a woman and this caused me to be "imprinted" on the female medical examiner. The vast majority of the physicals I have had to date have been given by women. Now the doctor doesn't have to be a gorgeous young blonde just out of medical school. As a matter of fact, I prefer a older woman with average looks. Certainly I love to have her move the stethoscope over my chest and back. But to have her wrap the cuff around one of my arms is a delight especially if the stethoscope is dangling from her ears. At my last physical, the doctor wrapped the cuff around my left arm(a Baum wall mercury model was being used) and placed the stethoscope below the cuff. She then held my arm up against her side and began to squeeze the inflation bulb. I was aroused. My eyes darted from the cuff to the inflation bulb in her hand to her face and then the mercury column that kept rising. Finally, the mercury column stopped at 182mmHg. The cuff felt good. The cuff pressure was slowly released and I felt several pulsations in my arm. The pressure in the cuff dropped and she removed it from my arm. "132/70" she told the nurse. The mercury column had dropped 50 points before she heard my first Korotkoff Sound at 132mmhg. Oh, if she would only do it again. Physicians are now encouraged to measure blood pressure in both arms. The systolic pressures should be no more than 10mmHg apart. Needless to say, I am strongly in favor of this practice. One last point. I despise these electronic blood pressure machines especially the wrist models. What do you call twenty thousand electronic blood pressure monitors at the bottom of the ocean? A great start!!! Tradition is wonderful when it comes to measuring blood pressure. All you need is a mercury or aneroid cuff and good stethoscope. Have you had your blood pressure checked recently?
Cindyga01. Loved your post. My partner has a larger arm like you. Her medical examiner uses the Baum bariatric cuff to measure her blood pressure. This type of cuff assures excellent compression of the Brachial Artery resulting is a more accurate blood pressure measurement. See if you can have one used on you. Wish we could get together to check each others pressure. I don't have to tell you to keep checking your blood pressure. Best of everything to you.

When I feel my arm compressed by the cuff, it comes to me as a disturbance, not really an excitement, an ambiguous feeling. Submission?
I believe I posted this before but I thought I would share it again. Many years ago, I had to take a pre-employment physical. I was about twenty four years old at the time and anxious to enter the exam room. I had the good fortune of having a female medical examiner. The nurse told me that this physician did the majority of these physicals and was also examined by her when she hired in. When I arrived at the health office that morning, I was instructed to strip down to my shorts. Height, weight, pulse and temperature were checked and I was told to sit on the exam table. After listening to my lungs and heart and leaving the stethoscope dangling from her ears, she took a Baum bandage type cuff(it was attached to a Baum mercury wall model)and wrapped it around my left arm. She placed the stethoscope below the cuff and started to inflate it. "It won't pump up, she said. I can't get it to pump up." She removed the cuff and the nurse handed her a Tycos aneroid hook cuff witch she applied to the same arm and inflated it to almost 190mmHg. This Tycos performed as it was meant to and revealed to the doctor that I had a pressure of 128/76mmHg(a little high for me but I was excited). I really wanted to have my BP checked with that bandage cuff but was cheated out of it when it failed(probably a leaking rubber bladder). I have one of these bandage type cuffs in my collection. The sound it makes when being "pumped up" is heavenly. Three cheers for Baum pressure cuffs!!!!
I also like to measure my blood pressure. I have an automatic tonometer (AND UA-777) at home. I periodically measure my blood pressure with it. Since I don't have any problems with my blood pressure, the cuff inflates rather weakly. I would like the cuff to inflate tighter and deflate longer. But it seems that this is not possible with an automatic tonometer.
I have had a blood pressure fetish for as long as I can remember. I'm into lots of things, but nothing like this. Blood pressure is the one fetish that will set off all my alarm bells, set my hormones afire, and have me led around by the stethoscope. I love having my blood pressure taken, I love taking it. I'm not sure what I love more, the actual act, or the headspace that it puts me in. I really have it that bad... I'm in that club. To most cardiophiles, I'm probably very boring.And there are so few of us. And, I'm on the gay side of the fence, so my options are fewer!! Having said all that, I am very recently putting myself out there into the broader community. It's been great just reading what other people have to say and chatting with others. So... just wanted to say hello and also thank you to those who have written about their feelings about this fetish. It's helped at least this guy realize he's not the only one.
I love measuring blood pressure, and sometimes I get so carried away and excited by the measurements that I climax from the cuff inflating and deflating on my arm. I love the feeling of the cuff thumping and the slight numbness from the pressure.
Some nights when the feeling is so calming and secure that I don't want it to end. I measuring my pressure, enjoying the steady inflation and the slow, throbbing deflation, and the feeling of the cuff. I'm lying in bed, and the rhythmic pressure is so soothing that I'll fall asleep with it still on my arm, slightly inflated or just sagging. Waking up to the feel of the cuff still on my arm is incredibly. It's like a weighted blanket, but for my arm. But sometimes my hand goes numb 😄
