Getting Aroused by Reading Medical Textbooks

Great thread.

I remember finding an old Red Cross home health care book at home that covered a lot of ground. It covered things I already knew about, like rectal temp taking, but it was nice to read about it and see the illustrations. It's also where I learned what an enema is. I eventually got the courage to check out nursing or medical books from the library. And in college I checked out proper medical texts like Mosby's guide to physical exams.

As some others have mentioned, some of these books were helpful in getting a better understanding of things that weren't covered in "the talks" at home.

There used to be a Barnes & Noble in NYC that had a floor for medical texts and even some medical supplies (served NYU Medical School probably) and it was interesting to take a spin through there sometimes.

I’ve never read medical textbooks, but I do remember being really intrigued and even aroused by life science books for kids. I’d always flip to the human anatomy section and look at the male and male genital diagrams.

Oh, man - I used to go to that store all the time and browse the medical books! For a while, I lived just two blocks from there .

Mother's medical text books came first. Then the library reference section and could not be checked out. Then to the retail book sellers. And finally to a museum with a lot of medical related stuff.

As a pre-teen and early teen I would regularly thumb through my mother's home medical textbook checking out the more interesting sections, mostly the sections relating to sexual intercourse, menstruation,and dutch caps! But my main interest started from around age 18 when I discovered the medical text books in the public library relating to gynaecology and smear tests etc, and I would often visit and become very aroused reading about these things. And of course I would also visit book stores where more of these textbooks could be browsed for my pleasure.

Yes... my Dads dentistry textbooks... I was incredibly young.

Yes, in 6th grade, when reading in school biology book about body organs and functions.

These were some of my earliest Amazon purchases!

My parents bought a huge home medical/health book. It was likely purchased in the mid to late 1940s. There was quite a large section on enema recipes and techniques and equipment, and a fair amount of photos. I remember some interesting parts of it, one chapter described certain Asian cultures that applied some sort of tint or makeup to a bride’s nipples just before the wedding. (That gave me some interesting fantasies) I did spent a lot of time looking through it when my parents were not at home. I did not find another medical textbook to look through until using a nearby college library while researching some high school project. The book I located there showed bi-modal rectal/vaginal exams, cervix exam, Pap smears etc.—and the female model was completely shaven. That started my preference for no pubic hair in the mid 1960s, when it was far from the norm. A couple of years ago, of my nieces told me that my parent‘s book somehow wound up in her possession and wondered if I wanted it. This thread reminds me that I need to give her a call, although I wonder if I’d find it anywhere near as arousing as I did 60+ years ago!

I've a number of French medical textbooks from the 1920s through the 1940s and in many of those, the patients are shaven as well. Probably to allow a more clear view of what the examining doctor is supposed to look for and where …

Now that you mention it, maybe this helped start my preference for no body hair. Photos in old medical books along with the occasional photo of a shaven model in a 1970s Dutch sex mag …

Please show! Anyone who said they have old textbooks with good pics, could you scan some pics to share with he group. i'm sure medical books from the 20's and 30's are out of print but we would all love to see.

My college had a book called ‘Surface Anatomy.’ It was pics of people nude at various ages to explore skin changes. it had some awsome pics.

I was never much of a reader when younger so textbooks of any kind were never on my horizon. More recently I take a bigger interest in part because of the medfet and the events of 2020/21

I've put a whole number of such scans in My Albums since some years ago.

Spent a lot of time in the library way back. It did teach me how to do research for projects later in life. But my main focus was on medical books. In fact I guess that was my sex ed back then. I had been a bed wetter for many years and started looking for things about that. Soon found a whole lot more of interesting things. Seems that those books were a lot more explicit back then. When we look around it is obvious that censorship is alive and very well.

After I was given my first large volume bag enema at about age 11 or 12, I sought out the medical books in my parents library. They had a couple of home nursing books from the 1930s or 1940s that were intended for mothers in the days before medical care became such a big industry. I most likely did become aroused by looking at the articles on enema and douche administration and especially by the illustrations, which were often very explicit.

Yes! I remember the first time seeing images of a male genital and rectal exam in a medical textbook at the library when I was in college and thinking I was going to faint.

My mom had some 40's Era texts from nursing school. They showed a Dr spreading a ladies cheeks and lubing her then the next pic had the nozzle in. Very titillating for a young teen

There was some text I had that had a variety of subjects, and there was a subject on medicine. That's… all I remember about that. Outside of that book it was pretty much reading Wikipedia articles.

Of course reading medical texts in libraries was fun. My dad was a lawyer so I had access to law books and references that had detailed discussion of criminal and civil matters. Fun.

My secret here was reading psychology texts about fetishes like, say, klismaphilia or sadism or masochism or frigidity (was in the books when I was a kid) or … you get the idea.

The medical texts were pretty stimulating and occasionally taught me tricks, but the psychological texts filled me a bunch of how to case studies to get deeply into the heads of vic er partners.

Re the shaven vulvas in the old medical text: believe it or not, they did that to make it less sexual. Pubic hair was seen as lewd and pornographic while hairless was more like classical art (one of the complaints about the painting L’origine du Monde was the subject was painted with pubic hair and thus lewd and low. How times have changed.

That's really interesting- and telling of the times.

I think a bush is really sexy but like @gwhap says things have turned around.

I also like “au natural”. The hair really doesn't get in the way, even adds to the sensuality. Hirsutism is a bit too much, just a natural bush and not in the armpits or on back and chest..

Another way of saying that is that we like pussy whether it is fur bearing or not, as long as it is old enough.

Exactly. Pussy is Pussy, regardless of how it is dressed!

Not a medical textbook, but I liked reading the little puberty pamphlet that my school handed out when we did the puberty lesson in 5th grade. I only got the boys one (which I’m pretty sure I still have by the way), but I looked up the girls one from the same company that mine was from and I found it eventually. It just had a diagram of the male reproductive system and I’m pretty sure the girls one has the same for the female body. I really liked looking at them when I was younger!

Not sure if it counts but as a young teen I masturbated to pregnancy booklets my mom had laying around. One of them was very explicit and had kind of step by step pictures of a vaginal exam and the crowning of the baby. I was fascinated by the bulging vulva and the gloves of the doctor. That's where the magic started.

When i was younger, my aunt had a set of medical encyclopedias. I remember looking up injections when i first found them, and I was excited when that section had a photo of a baby about to get an injection in his butt. I used to go and look at this photo whenever I got the chance to be alone and look at the book. It definitely was nice to have a visual of my fetish about shots in the butt.

When I was 12 maybe 13 my mom had gone back to school to get her nurse license and had text books around the house l can remember looking through and reading some of the text and looking at the photos and illustrations and getting aroused maybe this is were my medical fetish started.

My sister was studying to be a teacher. They had a medical background. She often borrowed medical textbooks from her friend, who was studying to be a doctor. Mostly they were books on pediatrics.I remember looking at them when the sisters were not at home. I was looking for naked girls. But for some reason, if the gender of the child did not matter, then there was always a naked boy in the photo or drawings.Most likely, I projected it on myself. Because I felt ashamed, because the sisters also looked at such pictures.

Once a girl from the class brought such a textbook. I don't remember why. But when I looked through, I found a picture where a naked boy is drawn, lying in a chair that looks like a gynecological one, with his legs apart.I remember how she started laughing, pointing at the photo and saying it was me. I said that it was not so, but I was very ashamed and, probably, I blushed. More from realizing what actually happened to me a year ago. I don’t know if the girls knew about this or just guessed by chance. The boy was drawn with great attention to the details of the genitals and anus. I remember that such a picture aroused the interest of girls.
