Getting Aroused by Reading Medical Textbooks

Eadweard Muybridge was an early photographer who developed a method to study movement by serial photography in the later 1800s. He's the one who proved that a running horse has all 4 feet off the ground while running. He also did motion studies with naked humans. His study of two boys playing hopscotch is very interesting.

Enjoyed the nude men; will have to look some more next time.

Nude baseball. Ouch!

Yes! In science classes (biology textbook had a lot of pictures, especially in the chapters on reproduction and birth) and school libraries, I always browsed through the medical books looking for descriptions and pictures of exams and procedures. Nice to know I'm not alone. 😃

As a child, I remember my mother and her parents both having various home medical manuals / encyclopaedia. I certainly remember reading these books with interest. Given the age of some of the books and their intended audience (non-medical professionals), I'm slightly surprised at the amount of details they went into and some of the pictures they included.

When I was little, my parents had a collection of medical encyclopedias with pictures. These pictures were the first experiences I had with nudity and sexuality. Medical textbooks jump-started my medical fetish starting at the age of 6.

When I was in 6th grade , Once I was roaming In my Uncle's study room (he is a cardiologist) I found this one book about clinical trials.i found its cover so amazing so i grabbed it and went to my room to have a look. For the next one month i was reading that book like a crazy.The first chapter was about taking the patients history.it mentioned sexual history, menstrual, psycological. It was quite arousing . Next few chapters were about eligibility of a patient in a certain trial. After that there were chapters about the particular trial it was about and patients journey through it. I was so aroused reading about the exams and the medications they were on.

IV done this since I was probably 10. And I still do it when I go to a book store

Yes...Plead guilty as for me the interest(s) began in childhood & progressed from there....Looking back our bookcases held a fascination with medical dictionary's & things like Modern Nursing...Nursing Skills & one of my faves "A Handbook Of Home Nursing"--A Mothers Guide....Hardly what you'd call a handbook as it is quite weighty & around 900 pages....The illustrations I'd look at mostly on the sly until such times that it seemed OK to refer to as I got older.....lnside the front cover had colour plates depicting M& F anatomy showing all our organs /nervous system etc...beautifully laid out in sequential pages ...the more one flicked them the more it revealed.

Inside the back cover was a slide out booklet in all it's glory--"preparing for childbirth".....Nearly all illustrations contained therein are quite graphic in detail ....Apart from the massive cocktail of explanatory B&W depictions & colour plates I often accessed my own little special area of growing interest--Enema's /Douching or tubes & instruments that went into our orifices.

High school days saw trips to the local library which bought about the best opportunity,somehow I always managed to find the medical books....mostly just to see or compare illustrations that might differ to what was stashed at home...Images of Equipment & procedures got the attention many's a time....Ladies bits came in for extra focus....Surgical material if found was a bonus...being a teenager & hormones running amuck I don't know how many times the effect caused an ache in the pants that called for relief....often repeating the fantasy from images at home in bed where I could relax....humping away madly with the bedroom door closed quite regularly with my big FAT Parker Pen slid as far up my young bum for that extra kick of stimulation pumping sticky semen into an old T-shirt wrapped around a raging stiffy.

By my late teens I made the transition to the Big Smoke (city)...Took awhile before I fully settled and quite by accident there was this older style mum & dad owned pharmacy close by home similar to what a country pharmacy resembled... found myself browsing the "goods" a couple of times.... therein lo & behold before I knew it was an Enema outfit closely resembling my mothers plus other items destined for the backside.

That's one of the few times I felt slightly awkward asking to see/handle what tickled the fancy....Then came the scary bit ...noticing the ole fashioned timber pull out drawers....which contained nozzles neatly laid out & size graded...taps...connectors....assorted bits n pieces.....sweet I thought !...by this time I hadn't had a decent run in you could say...tried to be as casual as possible but the excitement at this "find" was all that was needed....Fate accompli.

Along came bookstores starting with new & slightly disappointing...it was the second hand stores & library (cast off) basement sales that delivered the holy grail,or so I thought at the time & by a decade later Garage Sales turned up some choice items....Coincidentally around the same time or not long thereafter I "discovered" estate auctions...paydirt...the motherload of excellent print literature....A number of medical/surgical books wonderfully bound ....highly detailed ....some well over a century old through to more modern technical compendiums.

And so my education progressed

I remember my old HS biology textbook (early 1980's) had a section dedicated to the reader's physical health. It a had a few G rated pictures of male and female teens taking physical exams,

Back in the 1990s I was often surprised by the number of old medical textbooks that could be found in secondhand bookstores and flea-markets. And by old I mean anything published from the 1890s til the 1940s with usually a lot from the 1920s.

This was in large cities like Brussels or Paris which had a large population of both medical professionals as well as medical schools and universities. I had a suspicion that there so many of these older medical books in these shops because around the 1990s many specialists or older doctors were either shutting up their practices or more likely just passing away. That meant that oftentimes their entire libraries of books were either sold off to bookstores (highly unlikely since as secondhand bookstores pay a pittance for books as they sell such a small percentage of what they have in stock). More likely was that the heirs (to use a grandiose word) simply had a junk dealer come by and let them clean out the house/apartment of the deceased doctor in exchange for everything in it, or maybe even by paying for the cleaning. These junk dealers then know where to go with various types of items. And so books end up in secondhand bookstores.

Anyway, it was so much fun doing the hunting for these books. It was not really a question of becoming aroused (at my age then?) by the books, as of simply finding them and having them in my possession to peruse, to scan appropriate illustrations and so on ...

Yes I used to sneak over to the medical book in my college library and read them. I found them more interesting than arousing but they were sometimes arousing I won't lie.

As a preteen, I read a paperback book my mom had in her desk at home. It covered all the topics of Birth Control. There were chapters on each topic and diagrams of anatomy, female and male that were quite well drawn. It was very informative and I learned it well. A lot of adults today have very little understanding of what I knew at 11. Should this be general information for all maturing kids. What do you think?

Most certainly it should. I too bought virtually any and every sexual education book, sexual and morals history, descriptive or sex art book that I could get my hands on. It gave me a very good theoretical knowledge, more than what other kids my age seemed to know I often thought.

But what it didn't do was offer any practical scope for actually doing or enjoying any of it all - except masturbation obviously ... ha ha. I really could have used advanced pick-up techniques after a certain age ...

At school at that time - mid to late 1960s - I can't say we were left in the dark, but never really educated in very much depth either. Maybe now things are different in Belgian schools. I do know though that because of a large immigrant population in urban schools, giving sex ed is not always a straightforward task nowadays and is not always appreciated by many parents.

But that aside, I think you never know enough about much of anything at all. And since sex is such an important factor, motivator and obsession for many/most people, it's better to learn as much about it all as soon as possible. Besides, I believe there is a statistically positive correlation between a higher degree of sex ed and the start of sexual activity at a later age. Very much unlike the silly notion of abstinence-only sex 'education' ... where does one find the highest instances of teenage pregnancy in the US - good ol' Texas and other abstinence-only states.

You'd think that statistics would be enough to disprove the effectiveness of abstinence-only sex ed, but hey, who cares about things like facts anyway? So inconvenient.

I have read as many books as I could on the subject. Most did not address my issues.

The definitive - actually the first book, either serious or just fleeting, on the subject of medfet or related things still has to be published it seems like. Nor will it ever be published except maybe as an article in a psychoanalytic journal that most likely completely misses the point.

On enemas I've found a few books, but they tend to be either historical descriptions or holistic/natural healing type books. And back in the 1990s you could sometimes find fanzine type of amateur publications containing erotic enema stories. But with stories no better really than what you can find in the archives here.

If you want to learn more about medfet, places like zity are a good place to frequent. But it takes time to read up on issues, think them over, discuss them with other members, listen to pros/cons/do's/ don't's and other members' experiences. It takes longer than just reading a book, but you can pick up a lot here. Often common sense type of knowledge, from people with experience.

Yes, long history there: my parents had a 1929 Encyclopaedia Britannica and at some early teen age I found the section on "Reproduction". That dry and thorough text and images were burned into my brain. I was not, and am not, gay; I stared at the diagrams of male and female anatomy, but my growing erotic focus was largely on male genitals and what I was finding out my own could do: erections, ejaculations, and more, with girls / women watching closely or making it happen.

It took decades for me to finally understand my particular kink - in fantasy, the submissive subject of penis research and abuse, with professional females doing the research and abusing. I discovered medical textbooks at local universities and medical schools, and recall the excitement at finding a "Urological Surgery" textbook, going directly to "Surgery of the Penis" and the electric shock of arousal learning that - yes, there are circumstances in which the human penis is simply cut off (perhaps the "ultimate form of abuse"). Image of penis cross-section still arouses - because I know someone's member was sacrificed to get that image. Then there were all the urological journals describing erection research, ultimately leading to Viagra and its competitors in the ED fix-it scenario. Having a group of female researchers closely observing my erections was the ultimate fantasy. (Or maybe, cutting it off when fully erect, that was up there too).

I traveled a lot on business and visited med-school libraries all over the U.S. and one in the U.K. I have a stash of copies from those journals and textbooks - pumping rolls of dimes into Xerox machines while hoping no one notices the nature of what you're studying and decides you're a perv who shouldn't be there. Libraries were wide open at the time; I don't know if their security is tighter now.

For a decade or so I had an affair with a local woman who was intently curious to learn my kinks, and I told her about these tours of the med-school library. She wanted to see it, so I brought her. At some point she finally pulled me into a dark aisle between bookshelves, made me hard, sat me down in a chair there and impaled herself sitting on my lap. That was hot.

I have finally learned to accept and not apologize or feel embarrassed for my kinks / orientation; seem to be permanently wired that way and I've had some good times with open-minded women. Thanks for listening. - Finder

My initial interests in exams were very much fueled by reading medical textbooks. There was some very arousing about reading and seeing the patient described in such clinical terms. Seeing pictures of various patients and medical model added to the excitement of thinking about how the patient was presenting their body to the doctor for inspection and evaluation. Another key aspect of this was getting a sense and appreciation for the wide variety of body types and shapes.

I first became a medical fetishist after I began receiving genital exams in the late preteen years. The embarrassment of being in my tighty whities in front of someone who was an authority figure, and completely dressed, and having my genitalia exposed at his discretion has stuck with me ever since. The humiliation that comes with having my penis and scrotum exposed and examined became and remains a powerful stimulus during masturbation. In addition to remembering my experiences, I began to add thoughts about how my exams could have been--realistically-made more embarrassing. I also began thinking about boys I knew having my same experiences and wondered how they would have looked during the exam and how they would have taken the exam emotionally. I started seeking out examples of adolescent anatomy in medical textbooks to reinforce the emotions I had developed. More often than not, seeing other adolescents naked made me feel more inferior and enhanced my sense of embarrassment and humiliation.

My mom was a nurse and had this old nursing encyclopedia. I heard the term "pelvic exam" when I was around 12 years old, and felt inspired to look it up in the encyclopedia. There was a full description of exactly how to perform one, complete with drawings. And of course my findings there lead to looking up the words "speculum" and "rectal exam" as well. I must have read that description dozens of times before turning to the internet to conduct more research. I also took many trips to the public library and would read books on puberty (for boys and girls) and the types of exams that doctors would perform, various procedures, and on different medical maladies and the treatments that accompanied them. Anything that required mild surgery or a painful procedure was quite interesting to read about.

There were also medical books at home, and i was looking at them as a teen when my parents could not see me.

When I was a child I often read the medical encyclopedia that was at home. I remember the illustrations of male and female genitalia as very arousing. I was interested also in descriptions of genital surgery, I remember an illustration of a circumcision that make me think to my examinations and if my pediatrician would have done it to my penis one day. I was also interested in medical catalogues. To search for attention of possible acquirers they do not hesitate to depict strange procedures especially in urology and proctology chapters.

When I'd call on hospitals, some of them had medical libraries that were not locked to all but staff and I'd go in and browse any radiology texts, proctology and the latest reports on-line, to check for any rectal-related info. I got pretty well educated on enemas and GI conditions, X-rays, etc. I was always in a suit and tie anyway, so I looked like I was just another staff physician reading. Any Docs. coming in that knew me were not surprised because I sold Zantac and reading gastroenterology books was normal for someone like me.

Jimmyt44^^^ Very smooth...well suited.

As kids, my step-brother found an old medical book in the attic of our farmhouse and although I did not understand the medical terms, the pictures were somewhat shocking, like that of a penis inside the woman. It was like no way could that ever happen. But it also aroused our curiosity and we used that book as a reference to explore each other.

As a kid, I constantly read the encyclopedia articles on surgery and anesthesia - for all the reasons that have been mentioned here!

Since I was about ten I was interested in medical books. Years later I discovered that I could find a lot of medical books on internet. It was awesome!

When I was 13, I was staying with my grandparents for 2 weeks. The guest room had a full library of books, including one medical text. I had experienced my first orgasm only 2 months before, and was aroused reading about and looking at the diagrams of the female gentalia.

Like everyone else here, I've done more than my fair share of reading! As a teenager I was a member of the local Red Cross, and spent a fairly large amount of my free time studying first aid and home nursing skills. My parents would take me to flea markets and garage sales, and it was here that I started my collection of old nursing and medical texts, mostly dating pre Second World War, but I also had a series that were written in 1910. Of course what followed was nights spent reading and re-reading the 'juicy' chapters by the light of a torch under the covers. Sadly my collection was lost, and I'm now in the process of building it up again. Later, during my time spent at university, I discovered the medical section of the library... Oh how fond the memories of reading the Royal Marsden Book of Nursing Procedures are!

When I was a kid my best friends mom was the director of the local planned parenthood and had quite an interesting book shelf. While my friend and the rest of the crew were raiding his dad's playboy collection, I would be sneaking peeks at books on his mothers bookshelf. One of them had a few black and white photos of a woman on an exam table, draped for a 1950's exam, but still, pictures with her feet in the stirrups and her legs spread, and one of the speculum being inserted, and one of it inserted and one of her cervix through the speculum. Funny I can still recall those pictures.

Not so much now but, definitely as a teenager. I started with the Kinsey Reports and progressed from there.
