TV and/or movies which contributed to your Medfet

What TV and/or movies do you remember helping get you started with your Medfet? Doesn't have to be a medically related show, of course, but whatever it was that got to you.

I think for me, while I like medical shows, in hospitals or doctors offices, they were only secondary in my Medfet, I noticed things in those shows after I already realized I was excited by other shows. It was more shows which had medical scenes, or sometimes just dialogue which discussed medical situations or procedures and treatments. I think some of it was seeing characters I knew who were in these situations, discussing their doctors visits or whatever. Sometimes just hearing about it is better than seeing it played out, it leaves a lot to your own imagination, which can be more fun.

Oh yeah baby. I grew up watching classic horror movies on TV and all the Mad Scientists are what turned me into what I am today. Off the top of my head, The Brain that Would Not Die, Metropolis, of course the Frankenstein movies, The Bee Women, The Mesa of Lost Women and the Mad Doctor of Blood Island come to mind. My parents weren’t that good at screening what I watched.

Not a medfet show but as usual my imagination turned it into one, the Brady Bunch. I used to watch it and wondered what happened when Marcia went to the doctor. Wishing I could witness her exam. Did the doctor spread her white cheeks and examine her undoubtedly pink little anus? I can only imagine the look on her face. That's a porn video I would gladly watch!

There's a list of shows that enhanced the interest that has always been there. Among two of the top have to be MASH and Trapper John, MD. There's something about a surgical nurse in a scrub dress - white or green!

@Nurse_Phillips, I never really thought of horror movies being sexual, but I can see how you say that. Like you, I loved horror movies a great deal, & watched all that I could. However, I can't recall ever having been "sexed" by a horror film, except when they had nubile young women who were scantily clad. Nearly naked women in see thru gowns were a favorite, as were the bra-and panty brigade usually present. I think every young man felt the same way. Unfortunately, the revelation of all the young women's charms was never available. Medical fetish play moved along a different track for me, as did enemas and anal play (which are both a part and not a part of Medical play, depending on the circumstance).

Ooh - Steve Kiley on Marcus Welby was a decidedly sexy heartthrob for me as a teen or preteen! Maybe that explains at least part of my attraction for the right sort of play doctor today.

@Nurse_Phillips , I forgot to mention this in my last post: Amazon Prime has lots of old movies, specifically horror movies. While Netflix has them, too, for some reason I like the Prime offerings better. Just watched a European movie, "Daughters of Darkness," an adaptation of the story of Countess Bathory. As badly plotted, poorly acted, but about par for European softcore horror. Contains BDSM, normal simulated intercourse, nudity, lesbianism, murder, all built around the idea that the Countess is a vampire who's been around a long time.

Not bad for a sorta sexy horror flick. Lots of material on Amazon better and more horror oriented. So if you have Prime, have a look. Similar material on Tubi TV, but Amazon comes just about the top of my personal list

Medical Center, Marcus Welby, Trapper John, MD, MASH, St. Elsewhere and The Lifetime Medical Channel. My interest is surgical procedures, so all of those had some great elements for my medfetish.

@Doctorh3e

I’ve Prime and Netflix both ?

I forgot to mention St. Elsewhere. Dr. Wade could have operated on me anytime! When Sagan Lewis passed away, it felt like part of my fetish childhood died with her.

For those who do not remember her, see https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/women-unchained-episode-20-pictured-bruce-greenwood-as-dr-news-photo/140765741

I’ve been fascinated by all things medical for as long as I can remember. And a lot of my interest, I believe, was fueled by specific scenes or episodes of shows I watched as a kid. Any show that had a doctor episode in it was a hit for me, hahaha. Recently with Disney+ coming out, I was able to go back and find an episode of a show I used to watch when I was very young - called Out of the Box. In the episode they play doctor, and even sing a song about heartbeats and use stethoscopes. So I think I can at least partially blame my cardiophilia on that one. 😉 It was certainly interesting to go back and watch something that I know was a contributing factor!!

I always thought "House" was written by and for med-fetters.

I think the tv show "ER" helped contribute to my Medfet interest

I had no idea how many folks were into Medfet.

Many shows come to mind.My favorite all time show Emergency showed me many way's the medical field worked. Loved Johnny and Roy. Gained great respect for what paramedics have to do in the workplace. Enjoyed learning about the medical aspect of being a paramedic. Liked how Chet could get under Johnny skin. Then on a call be a total pro during there job.I was young at the time; but Marcus Welby made impact as well. I always wondered why more doctor's won't like Marcus Welby. He seem so down to earth. So caring. Most doctor's could take a lesson from him. Also ER was a great show to me. It gave a pretty real look into what a real hospital ER was susposed to look like. How it's was run. The pecking order of the doctor's. I liked St elsewhere. The doctors seemed to care; yet did a good job in everyday life. Not to say nothing of all the talent on the show. Fun, Enjoyable memories.

My medfetish emerged very early in life, before color TV. Before I knew what Medfet was... I just concluded I was weird and carried that with me through childhood, adolescence, and adulthood; through medical school, internship, residency, 30 years of practice in the ER and 2 marriages. It’s not like we had much training in Medical school. It was touched upon briefly during psychiatry rotations as “fetishism” lumped together within a broad spectrum of “psychopathology” under the label of Paraphilias.

Fetishes could be for any nonhuman object and were in general considered pathological, back in the day. Medical objects, situations and scenarios were not included with our training. We were taught that a fetish could be either egosyntonic (you could live with it) or egodystonic (you could not). Patients in the latter predicament were at risk for depression, anxiety and suicide. Those deemed dangerous or predatory were locked away. There wasn’t much psychiatric medicine had to offer back then.

I used denial to cope with mine! Psychiatry was the specialty in which I scored highest on my National Board Exams but I could never have been one. Now 63, I have at last found enlightenment in the realization of our great numbers, and that we are simply variations upon the incredibly complex theme of human sexuality. Now how will I integrate this into a life in which I pretended to be neurotypical?

It is hell of a deal, that’s for damn sure. To answer the question whether TV and movies contributed for me: probably they did but I can’t single out any particular TV or movie as a primary influence.

Any medical documentary involving scenes on, say, a transplant ward, where there would always be a cute girl who had to wear a mask because of her immune system.

I don't think I can remember any movies or TV shows that 'got me started' with my medfet - which, as some long-term Zity-ers must be heartily sick of being reminded, primarily concerns my 'odontophilia' (fascination with teeth, mouths!). But from the perspective of my medfet, I've long appreciated THE CITADEL (1938 ) which shows doctor Robert Donat examining the throat of patient Rosalind Russell ('Say aah!') - and later marrying her. (But of course! I suspect that the filmmakers deliberately meant that scene to imply Donat's being aroused by his attractive patient.) Also, I recall the original CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN (1950, with Clifton Webb and Myrna Loy as the parents) in which, when one of the dozen kids develops tonsillitis, it's arranged that the kid get his tonsils out at home - along with all his siblings! That tickled my funny-bone, for a start!

Vaguely, I recall a Pedro Almodover film of a few years ago, WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS? (1984), about a gay dentist. That intrigued me!

And, finally, I think of THE MAN WITH THE GREEN CARNATION/ THE TRIALS OF OSCAR WILDE (1960, starring Peter Finch), which I saw as a teenager. It made me focus a bit on my own gayness, and I found it moving. (But, note, it doesn't have anything directly to do with medfet.)

Books are what started me with my mask fetish, I'm pretty sure (though I'm not certain, and I would love to be able to time travel to whatever point my fetish started, and then whatever point it transitioned partially to protective medical masks from anesthesia masks).

But later on, I did start watching medical documentaries, and often there would be a teenage girl on there (similar in age to me) who, because of a transplant, would need to wear a mask on the floor and in public. At times, she would be in her hospital gown, which never turned me on, but at other times, it was just comfy clothes and a mask.

I have also watched an air disaster movie where the yellow passenger oxygen masks fell and a pretty teenage girl put one on and did the straps, and that was a turn on.

But yeah, books started it all, and medical documentaries nurtured it, and now sites like this and Pink Toxins, which have pics but more importantly areas to talk about our fetishes. I love the psychology of sexuality.

One flew over the cuckoo's nest

When I was growing up (1960's and 70's), it seemed there were a lot of TV medical dramas, or at least that's the way it seemed to me. But I don't vividly remember any particular shows that "triggered" my medfet. I think that developed slowly on it's own.

But among the shows, I do remember watching:

M.A.S.H. - Not really anything erotic about that show

Emergency

Medical Center

There was one show that I remember called "The Little People" which was renamed the "Brian Keith Show" the 2nd season. That show probably came the closest to contributing to my medfet beginnings. Brian Keith was a pediatrician in Hawaii, so he was always shown seeing adolescent patients who were more or less my age at the time. I think that's what I liked about it that I was watching other patients roughly my age.

For some reason I remember one episode of that show where a boy needed a physical exam for some reason. The boy came into the office, and the doctor (Brian Keith) told him to "get ready" and "strip off" (or similar words). This wasn't in an exam room, it was just the doctor's office. And then you saw the doctor making conversation with some other adult that came into the office for some reason. Once they left, the doctor was looking around for the boy and you saw him hiding behind a tall plant, standing there in just his briefs! I guess I remember that so vividly because I pictured myself in that same situation.

Anyone else remember all the various kids' books that were a riff on the theme ‘X Character Goes To The Doctor’? Seems like just about every kids' show or franchise had one of those at some point, and I'm pretty sure those were an early trigger for my medfet. Add in the ‘mad scientist' trope that others have described, and, well… that explains how the medfet blended with the bondage fantasies in my head.

I think a lot of my medfet comes from the power of the doctor being able to see naked people they'd not otherwise see naked, so “Dr Quinn Medicine Woman” which was on in my late teens, gave me all sorts of fantasies. I had such a HUGE crush on Chad Allen, who wasn't even out yet, but my gaydar must have been fully functional. In the show, Dr. Quinn is a newly minted East Coast doctor who goes into the American western frontier in the 19th century. As soon as she arrives in the town where she plans to set up shop, a woman dies, leaving behind two sons, the older one played by Chad Allen, and Dr Quinn ends up adopting the two of them. The older son didn't like the arrangement and thought he was old enough to take care of himself and his younger brother, so he'd do all sorts of stuff like sleeping in the barn, etc. I like to imagine Dr. Quinn insisting that she let her examine him, and having to talk him out of his clothes, piece by piece, as the exam proceeded.

For me it would have had to been “Rescue 911” and “Trauma, Life in the ER” I wouldn’t have said they contributed to it, as much as allowed me to explore myself with ideas I’ve gotten from the show(s), I was primarily interested in medfet after a real life emergency visit when I was 5. Wasn’t terribly long after that I would reenact what happened whenever I could. But after stumbling on to these shows it allowed me to try different things.

Was always curious about medical stuff. When I was 6 I seen E.T. That was first time I seen an ekg. I didn't know what it was, but I wanted to be that kid , but naked with those electrodes everywhere. I got really hard. I've talked to 3 guys who said that movie started their ekg fetish as well.

The only one I can think of is the hand that rocks the cradle. I remember my parents were watching it when I was young, and they sent me out of the room when the doctor was molesting his patient at the start of the film. The fact that I was sent away and not allowed to watch it made it seem more interesting to me of course. Forbidden knowledge and all that.

The nurses from General Hospital and the nurse from the show Emergency

I'm not going to be very good with an answer to this. I do remember, a long time ago on daytime TV (yet!), that there was a foreign movie showing a lot of schoolkids lined up for a medical exam. It was quite realistic, incl. showing each kid opening his mouth wide for the doctor and the accompanying sound of ‘Aah!’, perhaps with a bit of a gurgle for good measure. Anyway, due to my mouth-fetish, I enjoyed this scene!
