What makes a Stethoscope "sexy" ?

This question "what makes a Stethoscope sexy" was asked under "How many Stethoscopes..." and I think this is such an important and interesting question that it deserves its own thread.

And what is it that makes this wonderful, mysterious instrument so sexy???

My reasons: The sight, the optics - it looks simply sexy, the tubes, the chrome ear tubes, the chest piece. The feeling - the rubber tubings, the heavy brass chest piece The smell - the rubber smells very erotic and sexy. The sound - the heart and lung sounds transmitted through the chest piece and the tubes and earpieces into your ears and further into your mind, into your heart.

The thoughts you have when you see, touch and use it - how many beautiful breasts might it have touched already, how many racing heart sounds have already been transmitted to the doctor's ears and brains.

This is so individual. For me the stethoscope has to look professional. Thick black tubes, and a solid chestpiece.

Seeing it on a female's chest, the sounds you hear through it...

But conversely, feeling it on my chest, the pressure of it being moved around, and the sounds coming from my chest transferred to the listener's ear.

I couldn't have said it better!!!

Redstethguy, one of the things I love about sites like this is that sometimes I read my own thoughts written by someone else, and THAT is sexy in itself!

As for the stethoscope, for me it is a symbol of 'control' and 'dominance'. Listening/feeling my partner's heart is kind of 'control' and 'dominance' that I exercise over her. Nothing compares to this.

Having used one most of my life, I never thought of it as sexy.

For me, seeing a stethoscope in use on a guy is sexy. But even better is having one used on ME by a man. 😃 The touch of a stethoscope on my bare skin is beyond compare, or getting to hold one to a guy's chest and just listen.

Everything about their look is beautiful to me. The long tubing, the earpieces, and the best being the chest piece. I love that different stethoscope models have different looking chest pieces!

What makes a stethoscope sexy? My answer is easy and simple, the person wearing it. I personally do not think of a scope as being sexy at all, but when it's hanging around Doc's neck, OMG, I mean seriously, OMG nothing makes me hotter quicker, nor my panties wetter. Just sayin.............MMMMMMMM!

I've wondered about this question too, as I basically find nothing inherently sexy about a steth.

However, I can appreciate Mashie's point that context matters, as in who's wearing it.

If Mashie posted a pic of herself with nothing on but a steth, we would probably agree that that was sexy.

Damned if I know what makes it sexy!. What makes a syringe sexy or an enema bag or a speculum? It's not the object but rather what your partner is doing and using the object for. Good Heavens you can substitute a turkey baster for a syringe (but please don't use it on the turkey every again!) It is not the object but rather how your partner is using that object that then becomes sexy. Is a razor sexy? No. Do I get turned on if nurse is shaving me for medical reasons? NO use that same razor in med fet setting and starting shaving Richard and the twins and down under and I get hot as hell!

I believe it to be the medical symbolism. The stethoscope is surely the most symbolic of all medical instruments.

First, let me thank all commentators so far. Many new aspects. Interessting. One of the most interessting aspects why a Stethoscope is sexy, was given by Mashie: "The person waering it." Very true, of course. An ugly old man is less attractive wearing/using a Stethoscope than a sexy young guy or a beautiful woman. An aspect I didn't think about so far. I took it for granted so far. But thinking about it more closely, I must admit that the person is very important. If she/he is not sympathic, ugly, bad looking, talking too much, behaving and acting unprofessional, ugly beard e.g., this spoils very much the stething scene...

Redstethguy I don't think there is a simple answer to this question , some people like Brooklyn its all about the design and the different diaphragm or chest pieces :

Everything about their look is beautiful to me. The long tubing, the earpieces, and the best being the chest piece. I love that different stethoscope models have different looking chest pieces!

For others like Mashie its the person using the stethoscope whether they be male or female, doctor , nurse or partner

And others like Brooklyn simple enjoy being observers or voyeurs and derive pleasure and a bit of a sexual thrill from it

For me, seeing a stethoscope in use on a guy is sexy.

For others its more the intimate aspects of being topless and having the cold diaphragm moved across the chest, in my experience most women get erect nipples from the excitement, anxiety , embarrassment or combination of all, a bit of sexual frisson so to speak.

Yet others like the closeness during the procedure if I'm auscultating a patient then I tend to look at where the bell or diaphragm is on the chest or back. Some patients don't like direct eye contact or you looking at their face directly. Others enjoy it, so depending on the response I may make eye or facial contact and kind of bonding experience. I have auscultated so many patients and so often each day that it really does not bother me if the try to make eye or facial contact or watch my every move.

So I really don't think their is any one factor which particularly makes a stethoscope sexy, I believe that its a combination that makes it sexy

To me the Stethoscope and the Heart are almost the same thing. To me the Heart is THE most sexy thing the the universe but the image of a Stethoscope is forever linked with someone listening to someone's Heart....and in most cases a complete stranger listening to the workings of another stranger's most important and private muscle. When I see the image of a female with a Stethoscope it is a huge turn on, but if I see an image of the same female listening to a Heart.....her's or another's.....MASSIVE turn on!!!! Even though there are other ways to listen to someone's Heart, and some give you better sound than a Stethoscope and your ear to someone's chest is intimate....the fact that a Stethoscope blocks out the whole World except for the amazing sounds of someone's Heart muscle working...valves opening and shutting all while the Heart pushes against the chest piece in your hand.....pure sexual bliss!

Sorry for the off topic, but..

Redstethguy, I wish I could send you a personal message, but I cannot send pm to anyone, nor can I send a friend request to anybody anymore😢

It seems I have to be a bonus member or something...

Please help, folks. What do I have to do to be albe to send PMs and friend requests again?

Post more and get your points total up.

Thanks, Mashie.

As I said, my new rappaport is a sexy scope, I always loved cold stethoscopes, that is one reason it is sexy for me, but it is a very interesting question, why we find the stethoscopes "sexy"? I think not only the instrument is sexy, the whole physical exam situation is very sensual for me, I have to undress, lay down and wait for the cold touch of the chestpiece, and I can feel my hammering heart under it, knowing my examiner can hear every reaction and little sound of my lubdubbing heart, that is what makes it so erotic.

The thing that makes a stethoscope sexy for me is a nice topless female play patient on the patient end, and the strong clear sounds of her heartbeat pounding my eardrums. Love seeing the steth rings I leave on my patient's chest as I move the steth to all the auscultation points as I listen to her heart..

Yes, these white steth rings which appear when you leave the point of auscultation! The more you press the chest piece against the chest, the clearer and longer you see this marvellous ring. Really a thing which makes a Stethoscope sexy. I achieve the best steth rings with bell chestpieces.

And what about the so-called "diaphragm sound" when you lift the steth off the skin?

Seeing it on a women's chest

This is a really good question. I don't think I can even answer it. I don't know what makes it sexy it just is. I don't even have a heart fetish so much as a Stethoscope fetish. The heart just comes with the territory And I've learned to love it. I just love seeing stethoscopes used on women.

Which is "sexier" a light tube stethoscope or a heavy tube scope?

Heavy thick-wall tubing with larger internal diameter is essential to transmit the sounds inside the body louder while shutting out extraneous noise. Steths with skinny thin-wall tubing are mostly of use only for taking blood pressure readings, not so good for listening to hearts.

Yes, Steth, that's right! Heavy thick wall d o u b l e (!) tubings are better (and sexier). These cheap, single tube "nurse stethoscopes" are just for blood pressure taking. And they don't look (nor feel) sexy. It's a pitty that many Stethoscope "Sex" users in the net use just these cheap stethoscopes. Even though they have got good and heavy steth's in their stock! I know this exactly, because I've delivered some Supraphon Steths to some producers/providers....

I don't really find stethoscopes in and of themselves sexy. I do like the feeling of the metal, the sound, and also the look of someone wearing a stethoscope.

Chaomiandra - if you find the feel, sound and look of a stethoscope sexy, I would say you're well on the way to finding stethoscopes sexy! :-)

I'm of a mind with chaomiandra here.

Just the sound of the word is a turn on! Everything about a Stethoscope, from the look to the sounds to the smell of it makes me think about the Heart.....and the Heart is the most sexual thing in the world to me!!

Nothing to add here ! The STETHOSCOPE is for all five senses.

In my opinion, the sexiest part of the stethoscope,it is the bell, which is applied to
