Where is the younger generation? 20s-30 max?

I feel like enemas and exams with a lot of nudity aren’t that common anymore so many people are never exposed to them and don’t develop the fetishes as a result. Of course there are still some doctors and families that do both of these things, but in general modesty is usually favored over a more thorough exam now.

I personally had a doctor that required nudity during his exams and that’s the main reason I have this fetish. I also played doctor when I was younger, but I also think that’s less common than it used to be.

The things is, one needn't necessarily be exposed to any of these things/practices and yet still develop a liking for them. I never got enemas at all and learned about them from reading in a medical self-help book from my grandfather's library. That was enough to excite me beyond normal measure. I later went out and bought improvised bulbs and replacement items on my own, without anyone ever administering one to me. I did it my (somewhat bungling) way, all on my lonesome.

You don't really need anyone to introduce you to certain practices to develop a liking for them. But it certainly helps though and you can benefit from the other person's experience and know-how.

But still. You can see a photo, read a story or whatever and still develop an interest. I was never spanked and yet from exposure to spanking photos, drawings and stories have taken a liking to it. I can't remember being naked for a medical exam and yet here I am.

So, just saying that people can develop likings and fetishes without anyone else exposing them to it.

As the many responses to this thread are now proving, there ARE a good number of younger individuals on this site. And that's all good. I think we just don't tend to see a lot of posts and other contributions by those younger individuals, or we do and simply don't realize that they're from a younger crowd. Generally, I think the younger generations use other apps to communicate that are more immediate and less verbose. There's nothing wrong with that at all. But it means a lot of their contributions might end up somewhere else instead of here.

Good to see there are many from the younger generation with an interest. I agree with what some have said as regards changes in the last few decades. Whilst growing up, I had regular and thorough medical examinations, which ultimately sparked my interest. I beleive in America there are still annual sports physicals. Annual and periodic exams stopped in the UK many years ago. I agree you can become interested in such things from reading stories and seeing pictures and videos. Something similar will apply to spanking, I imagine.

When so many here are older and more experienced in the arcane and obscure subjects discussed, younger zity folk logically would tend to be less forthcoming I'd guess. It doesn't mean they aren't here. Maybe they are just quietly absorbing the information. Some practices, enemas for instance, have been much reduced in public acceptance in recent decades. As opposed to their very common usage in the 70s and earlier. Other subjects like adult baby/diaper interests seem to have a younger following. You can be sure that whatever your interests, kink is not going away…period!

I remember well the enthusiastic reception I received when I first arrived at Zity. I was amazed that so many “Zitizens” stepped forward, introduced themselves, and helped bring my fantasies from idling ideas lurking in my mind's eye to enjoyable online roleplays! I feel I must not be selfish, and “receive” without “giving,” if I am to uphold the idea that Zity is a place for “friendly and active kinksters!” Therefore, I propose the following “scene” for any interested members of the “younger set"….

You open your Monday morning paper, and are stunned by the front page story which announces:

“The county Department of Health announced yesterday that an employee of Sid's Drive-in Shake Shack has tested positive for hepatitis. If you or someone you know patronized this establishment within the two-week period which ended last Friday night, you are urged to report to the Public Health Clinic at 123 West Grove Avenue for preventative treatment.”

“Affected” individuals may schedule an appointment by PM to my inbox.

Very cordially yours,

“Nurse” Katy

Yes that’s definitely true, but I still think that a larger amount of people develop their fetishes from real life experiences than from reading about them in books.

Sup everyone.)

I'm just 19, a typical student from Russia and really willing to find anybody who'd be my patient. . .

Unfortunately i'm not a real doc and i don't know too much special medical words and terms, but i'm working 'bout it!!

People should read more books. You can find a far wider range of experiences described in them than anyone could experience themselves in a lifetime.

To be honest, a big problem with some of these kinks is they take a great deal of experience to be considered proficient. As a young person, I'm really interested in things like rope bondage and medfet, however, I know it would take me a considerable amount of time with a mentor to feel comfortable playing doctor. Give it time.

Been here awhile, but haven't posted. I do appreciate this place, I'm 24F.

Kids play doctor all the time. It's probably one of the first things they do in the way of sexual exploring.

I must say, I think this is the most useful and profitable thread to come across zity.biz in a while!

Kids play doctor all the time. It's probably one of the first things they in the way of sexual exploring.

Do kids still do this though? I never did (but I also had few friends). If you're not forced to completely strip and have your genitals touched at the doctor's anymore, if rectal thermometers and enemas aren't used and kids never have things inserted into their asses, there's nothing to mimic, is there? That's what playing doctor is, mimicry. I only know of it from old sorts of jokes and references.

Edit: To clarify I mean the sexual exploring way. I played doctor with all clothes on, using my little doctor kit. Looking in eyes and ears, listening to the heart and checking reflexes was basically the extent of it.

The younger generation is well represented among the Zityzens, but there are many who don't state their age in their profile, so it's not easy to identify them. I understand that young people prefer to have to do with their peers and so it is also for some of the "old". Sometimes I appreciated comments that I wanted to reply to but I held back thinking that maybe she (or he) is 40 or more years younger than me and might feel disturbed by me. Update your profiles maybe even stating that you don't want messages from people who may be the age of your parents or grandparents and everything will be easier.

Hugs.

I heard someone was looking for me (25 years old) 😉.

All jokes aside,

In the last years/decade, general exams became less common over here, for children. And the exams that were done became less embarrassing or were done with more privacy. Speaking for myself, my medfet started with an embarrassing experience. So that could be an explanation, for less people between 20 and 30 years of age, who like medfet.

Besides that, the younger generation have other ways to communicate so not necessarily Zity.

So I would say, the younger generation is there, but maybe not so open about it, and not as large as the older generation.

I agree with @agracier that doctors and nurses will still be played. There are so many examples from TV with the many hospitals that playing that way will go in the way @arika describes.

I am thinking that anyone who left school between 5 and 10 years ago, and probably longer, as a guy has probably not experienced dropping their underwear and coughing, or other intimate examinations that were done in the 1970s to possibly sometime in the 90s. It is different for women as they visit gynaecologists. There is plenty to read and view with regards what used to happen, and I'm sure many of us develop fetishes for things we have never previously experienced by finding out about them subsequently.

@Examined And even then, I hear that gynecologists nowadays try to make intimate exams less embarrassing (in the old days, some asked the woman to fully disrobe, etc.) and require fewer exams (some decades ago, gynecologists enforced doing a speculum exam for prescription of oral contraceptives, which is not a medical necessity; or did a pelvic / speculum exam on teenage girls, etc.).

I guess it goes both ways though on here, I’m only 19 and want to understand and recreate my experiences I had at the doctor, when playing doctor and with my stepdad. And I don’t think that could happen with someone who isn’t at least into their 40’s or so. Some of it may be because what I experienced was done by older people and I just became submissive to people who are older than me.

I think there are quite a few younger people here, me included. Medfet is for everyone😃

Mid twenties. Probably shouldn’t state my age I joined lol

21 here! Willing to chat with anyone about our experiences.

29 years old over here! Been into enemas since I was 15, starting off as an inflation fetish before realizing how good enemas feel. Now I love them and take them when I can. I do a full clean out a few times per year.

As someone who turns 26 here in a couple months, I'd say we're here. Honestly I think that everything boils down to one of two main causes as far as younger people being involved here goes.

Number one is a simple lack of exposure to related content and experiences due to shifting societal norms and trends. Things like enemas, suppositories, rectal temperatures, nude medical exams, etc. are fast becoming parts of a bygone era. Their popularity and actual legitimate usage was already well on the way out when I was growing up. They simply aren't done anymore nowadays, outside of maybe extremely specific situations in a hospital setting for serious/major issues.

The second is that dedicated forums like this one are aging technology that just aren't part of the popular culture anymore. Conversations and interactions are done on different, newer, trendier platforms like reddit/discord/etc. The days of imageboards and dedicated forums are bygone for a vast majority of people my age and younger.

Whatever they do on trendier, newer platforms, it sure doesn't have much to do with a conversation.

The second is that dedicated forums like this one are aging technology that just aren't part of the popular culture anymore.

The technology here seems pretty up to date handling and manipulating large amounts of data and users across multiple languages and platforms. Granted, it caters to a specific crowd - but there are still lots of forums that do that in business, science, sports, hobbies etc. Not sure what you mean by the 'popular culture" - are you talking content or or structure?

Most of us have moved to Discord servers, its easier to communicate in real-time and has a lot more functionality than forum boards. Stuff like video streaming, voice chat, and playable audio/video embedding makes it a bit more enticing to the next generation.

Guess my being “not so young” is showing through. 😀. Thanks @Peppy_Pepper

43 here, been a member since. .. 25ish? Without a break and not looking at my profile yet.

I’ve been on and off this since since I was 19!(34 now). I think It takes most younger people some time to fully realize their sexuality. Even if they know they have a particular fetish, there might be a sense of embarrassment that comes from fully acknowledging it and exploring it more deeply. We’ve all had those conversations with people who’s said something along the lines of: “I never Really felt comfortable exploring my sexuality until much later in life”.

My main fetishes, for footed blanket sleepers and medically required masks, came to be well before I truly understood sexuality. I'm 45 now and was 9 or so when I remember getting so excited about seeing a girl my age in footed pajamas. And that night was very embarrassing. When my babysitters daughter came out wearing her pink, footed blanket sleeper (zipper front, vinyl soles and toecaps. Very 80's, but I still like them that way mostly), my heart slammed into overdrive, my breathing was elevated, and I kept discreetly sneaking looks at her over on the other couch (this was in a living room, while we watched TV). I seem to remember my babysitter asking if I was OK.

It took until the late 90's (early/mid 20's age) for me to actually feel OK, or even consider, going to fetish websites, thinking maybe these strong feelings as I described above were fetishes. First a Yahoo! group centered around young women in footed pajamas. Then some Japanese site called “Maskgirls”. I'm not sure why all of a sudden I was interested in exploring these feelings as fetishes. Maybe just desperation and wanting to enjoy my full being and knowing I wasn't alone.

I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but yes, I feel like I've “lost time”, so to speak, by not knowing about fetishes until so late. I feel like the general concept should have been addressed in my sex ed. It would have made my adolescence more enjoyable, and adulthood far more so.
