How long have your kept your love for hearts a secret?

For me, about 3 years. I'm fairly new to the community but i've always had the interest. I was in a pretty intimate setting with a lady friend yesterday & we ended up cuddling and relaxing for a bit. My head was laying on her chest, just in a trance from her euphoric, pounding heart. I couldn't help but tell her how much of an effect it had on me. I was afraid I was going to get judge at first, but she found it somewhat interesting.

Literally all my life, I can't bring myself to tell anyone

I have not the courage to tell anyone about this love. I am afraid to be judged.

Retired doctor here. I have no familiarity with this kink whatsoever. You are aroused or turned on by a partner’s heartbeat? Not just that it’s a pleasant or interesting or fascinating complex sound? Now I have 5-6 kinks or fetishes and I well understand being afraid to tell someone for fear of judgement or at least rejection of my sex life (for me, for example, rubber, latex, sneakers, anal plugs, enemas). What is it about a heartbeat or heart sound fetish that would be embarrassing? Please explain further. Thank you,

Eric

I began to get an unknown pleasure from the fact that the doctor listens to me when I was little. Later, in my youth, I felt that I myself wanted to be in the place of a game doctor with a stethoscope.

I have always kept it private and still do keep it private.

I never told anyone. It's my deepest darkest secret that I would be very nervous to tell non-cardiophiles about.

I’ve known about my love of hearts and stethoscopes for most of my life. I didn’t come to fully understand it until I was about 18, though. That’s when I started joining online communities for cardiophiles and opening up about it. But in my day to day life, very few people know about it.

None, my parents are doctors and I got this since childhood but never told anyone

Imo if the sound of a heart beat is a mega kink and turn on i don't see that as an embarrassing kink in the least , if so you might as well be embarrassed about and holding hands hugging or kissing , for me the sound of a heart beat freaks me the phuck out , but i do love going to my cardio doctor and get a kick out of EKG's and all , had a blast getting the heart cath thingie , but the other heart surgeon she did that in my wrist and not down below and funny the nurse still shaved me down there even though there was zero hair , i guess she shaved for the fine vellus hair

I've known about my love for hearts since I was little but I've never told anyone about it, except fellow cardiophiles online
