Does spanking have anything to do with it?

I've always been puzzled about this. At an early age (already at 6-7) I was obsessed with both spanking and medical procedures involving the bottom. My parents spanked me frequently, and so it's not surprising that the experience stuck in my mind. But I don't ever remember having my temperature taken rectally, or getting a shot in the rear, or getting an enema. My doctor only had me take my shirt off for exams, and his nurse usually gave shots (even penicillin) in the leg.

I wonder: did the spankings create an situation where the combination of bending over, undressing, pain, and humiliation was erotically charged? Once that had happened, did that mean any situation with these qualities would be a source of anxiety and pleasure, even if I hadn't myself experienced it?

Or: I have heard that there are spankos who were not themselves spanked as children, but who got the fascination from witnessing it happening to others, or hearing accounts from their friends after the fact. I never myself got a shot in the bottom, but my mother often told me stories about when she was a child and penicillin was the standard treatment for many things. I can also remember one of my friends getting a shot and later dropping his pants to show me the results (an angry red dot with the round adhesive of the bandage around it). I think after hearing and seeing these things, my active imagination created a monster in my mind.

What do you think?

I was spanked as a kid and there was nothing erotic about it on the surface. But my bottom was always bared, so the feelings of fear and nudity were intermixed, as well as being touched even if it was punishment. My parents took my temperature rectally and in retrospect that was sexual. I hate shots, hate enemas. Going to the doctor sucked. So I don't know how any of that transmuted into an affinity for this.

Not for me. Spankings were associated with pain, especially if my father was the one doing it. My interest never had anything to do with being spanked. I received spankings both over clothing and on the bare.

I know there are some who spankings are very erotic bacasue I see links to sites for solely for that topic. I was not spanked as a child. I did get bulb enemas although not a lot. I think spankings might drive from having a bare butt and feeling embarrassed. I know I enjoy RTs, and enemas because I am anal erotic. It did not come from spankings for me and I don't like them today either.

I think the two fetishes are related in the sense that they both usually involve one person having power over the other. The med stuff that shows the patient being embarrassed or more obviously under the control of the doc/nurse I think is more erotic than stuff like the Dr T*shy stuff, although I think the St*n*f*x stuff does a good job of being subtle about the power inequity...

I was not spanked on the bottom as a child. Punishment was always with a switch on the legs. As an adult, however, I do enjoy light spankings as part of sex play. Do not know where it comes form.

You raise an interesting question. The relationship, if any, between spanking and enemas, etc., has been brought up on other boards and some assert there is no relationship at all. However, there are similarities. Enemas, suppositories, rectal temps, and spanking all involve the same area of the body, being exposed, embarrassment, giving up "control" to an authority figure, and are done for "our own good." They are often associated with our childhood and our parents. They can be painful or at some level even pleasurable, depending on the circumstances, and other things. Some kids resist enemas, shots, rectal temps, suppositories, exams, ect., and wind up being spanked and then have to yield to the medical procedure, further linking the experiences. I think spanking is a much more common fetish than medical fetish but there is definitely some overlap with many of us enjoying both.

Spanking fantasy has a lot to do with med fantasy. An authority figure had permission to compel you to expose yourself, and to touch you in a way which makes you uncomfortable. There is no threat to your person, but instead a societal norm which forces you to expose yourself to a particular authority.

I have to second what Nero said, and couldn't have stated it better myself. As a woman, being spanked (which I very much enjoy) and a medical fetish (which I have yet to explore but very much want to) involve a power exchange, a submission to another's control, being exposed, and being in a vulnerable position. As we all know, the largest sex organ is the brain and it is the submission and vulnerability of both of these scenarios that appeal to me.

I have to admit, when i was a child, i hated spankings and injections and going to a doctor. i don't know what triggered this "fetish", but i can tell you one thing, i ENJOY giving and receiving both. i tink it came from when i went with my wife to a doctor. she had to get 2 injections that day. the doctor asked her to lower her pants and after he gave her the 2 injections, he gave her a slap on the butt! i think that triggered it!

Spanking has a lot to do with the fascination for bottoms which, in my case, led to an interest in medical scenes. I was not spanked as a child but was witness to a friend being paddled with a hairbrush. I must admit to it being a total turn-on for me.

I was spanked as a child as a form of punishment, but I really don't think it had any lasting effects on me. I was just a mean kid and had it coming. I can't see how spanking and medical fetish has anything to do with one another. I don't really see how being spanked can make you want to see a doctor. I do understand people desiring both types of fetish.

I would love to have the Play Doctor take me over his knee and Spank Me for not following his orders. Or, he could spank me while I was on all four and he was taking my temperature.

And, a slap or two or my bare tits would be wonderful. This is what I would get for not obeying the Doctor's orders.

Spanking and medfet (woohoo, the first time i used that term!) both turn me on, as does bondage and many other fantasies, fetishes, role-playing or whatever you want to call it.

I never really wanted to analyze what excites me because I am not sure I would be able to understand, but more importantly, I don't really care why. As long as I am able to find common turn ons for both my partner and myself, then why ask why.

I am concerned that too much analysis might reduce the excitement it can create.

I've often wondered about this myself. As a child and youngster growing up, I had my temperture taken rectally by my mother many times. There's no question that's where my rectal temperature fetish came from and I clearly remember how good the thermometer felt in my bottom. I don't remember ever being spanked of even threatened being spanked, but I did develop a fascination with female bottoms and wondering if girls also had their rectal temperatures taken. I think my interest in female bottoms just naturally transfered into wondering what it would be like to spank a girl and then eventually getting spanked myself. I also think it has to do with control, power and submission. All of us got rejected by the opposite sex at some time growing up and felt embarrased and humilated. But able to spank a female bottom in some way gives you back that control. Men tend to put women on a pedestal. Being able to spank them and take their rectal temperature helps to humanize them. It's also just a lot of fun. There's nothing sexier or more erotic than a beautiful female bottom.

Welcome Doctor. I like what your saying here, but I have to disagree. I think that knowing the roots of these fetishes can increase my excitement at least. It might just be me, but I know that thinking back to childhood and trying to uncover where this all might have started, and thinking about it just kinda adds to my feelings. I don't know if this makes any sense.

I can definitely see what you mean though. I remember in High school how we all used to complain that we ruined the books that we read in English because we overanalyzed them. I think that that's what you mean, and I think that it's a good deduction.

Okay, so now that my long rambling is done, 😁

My mom spanked me until I got into my teens. I can say I never really cared for it. My hubby has turned me over his knee and spanked, just playing, and wow! Is it ever a turn on. 😉

Spanking was most definitely a painful punishment when I was a child...However, my early experiences playing doctor with my best friend (around 6 or 7 yrs. old) involved pulling each others panties down and spanking bums first....then we would explore each other's bums and vaginas (not to deeply...more aroused curiosity)....I don't know how spanking became the segue into naughty doctor games, but as and adult....I am thoroughly aroused by both 😄

Both my wife and I get extremely excited combining medfet and spanking. There is nothing better than having her over my lap and giving her a "sensitivity test" with a ruler.

I agree also that too much analysis as to why it is so great would diminish the enjoyment.

I would enjoy combining a light spanking with part of my play exam. I want to be examined by a firm Doctor who decides that I have been "naughty" and that I need to go over his knee as a reminder who is boss! Or a spanking while I was on all fours and having my temperature taking the old fashioned way would be a delightful way to pass some time.

Heather, West Coast USA

During a school medical at the age of 8 or 9, I was standing in line with some other boys wearing only underpants while waiting to see the school Dr ( and old lady). The headmaster was also present in the exam room.

We were told to keep the noise down but failed to adhere to advice.

After the check up from the Dr, which consisted of stethoscope, ENT and lowering your underpants for a quick genital inspection, myself and two others were told to report to the Head's study where we were bent over his desk for a sound hand-spanking over our underpants.

The humiliation of the exam in addition to the spanking was the beginning of my fetish for both spanking and medical fantasy.

Don't know exactly when mine started...

It must have been around age 5-6 when I last got spanked...

Also got my temperature checked rectally at that age.

At age 14 I was at the hospital and had to get my temperature checked by a nurse rectally aswell, then I became aware that I was aroused by it...

I dont think spanking has anything to do with it for me.

I had a very abusive childhood and I would never want to revisit that. The beatings, spankings, etc were NOT a turnon.

However, I do remember that feeling of dread and fear when I knew I was in trouble amd something bad was going to happen. I'd get flushed, butterflies in the pit of the stomach, feel like I have to pee, and would have to totally submit to the punishment or it would be worse. My trust as a child was constantly violated.

I now get a very similar feeling before and during a play session, but the fear is replaced with excitment. It's like now I am always seeking someone who will NOT violate my trust, in that they could truly hurt me, but they choose not to and are not fueled by anger, but instead give me gentle reassuring guidance. A kind and compassionate authority figure that I never had.

Not sure I have a medical fetish but definitely have a spanking one! That said I do get excited by the humiliation of being examined/inspected. Mostly though this takes place as a prelude to me being spanked in someway rather than a stand alone procedure.

As a kid, I remember only one spanking; and then only the bare bottom over the knee experience, not the spanking or the pain. I remember enemas and a few rectal temps.

As an older adult, my medfet and spankings are erotic. All relate to my buttocks and anus and exposure of them. Did it come from exposure of my bottom as a kid? It's too long ago to tell.

My try-to-please-everyone wife was whipped in anger with a belt (these days, it's called abuse) as a child - even teenager - and understandably has extreme distaste for spanking. She would never agree to any kind of BDSM; and I, personally, am turned off by it.

I am going to try to introduce her to a loving type spanking where she can make my bottom red but not bruised and such that the redness goes away in a few hours. If I can get her to see my way of thinking, I could then maybe try to involve her in giving loving enemas to me.

LizzyB, sounds like you will be able to combine spanking and medplay and have fun with both.Good luck to you.

Spankings are in my mind associated with pain which I don’t like and therefore don’t enjoy them at all. My interest of medical fetish has not anything to do with being spanked.

Unlike Acer, my punishments as a kid, did have lasting effects which were and still are very negative. All kids my age got the belt from their military fathers and I resent such treatment to this day. However, I do get arroused looking at spanking sites, I've no idea why.

I don't know if I feel like they go together, but, I had a boyfriend who used to spank me and call me a bad girl when I did something wrong or messed something up... I rather liked it. I guess the idea of him being in control. He used to ask me to bring him my term papers and tests, sometimes I would get really nervous, but, he was rather loving about it and would play with me afterward..
