What makes a Stethoscope "sexy" ?

It gives you an access all area pass to a patients body.

This may sound crazy and for me the nurse putting it around her neck I think is super sexy!

Stethoscopes are erotic to me. They allow you to connect with someone's most intimate organ (the heart), even more so than the genitalia in my opinion. Plus, bowel sounds are also sexy as heck.

I love everything about steth exams. The patient knowing they have to be quiet and the doctor listening intently. Plus the doctor's hands getting close to your chest, or if they are listening to bowel sounds, feeling their hands moving lower and lower. Plus, the noises of the steth itself: the metal pieces tapping against each other, the sound of it being moved off your skin from one spot to the next. Never knowing quite where it will go next. Everything about it is hot.

The person wearing it

I find this part of the exam to be interesting because I feel that other than looking at the genitals, it’s probably the most personal of the exam.

What makes a stethoscope sexy is the manner in which it is used.... The way it is removed from around the examiner's neck.... The way the examiner handles it... The way it is placed on the body of the patient.... As @PatientGal describes, it can be a very intimate time and that is certainly sexy:

It’s everything about it, seeing one just sat there begging to be picked up & used. The right person (for me a female) wearing one listening carefully, throughly.

Stethoscopes are so sexy to start with but what makes them even more so, is when they are used by a hot women. Whether that be on herself or on someone - hopefully me.

Not all models are sexy to me. The sexiest for me KaWe Supraphon, Multiphon and stethoscope Rapoport. In my opinion, sexuality is added by thick rubber tubes, a massive cylindrical head and large olives. And also the moment when the doctor takes the stethoscope off this neck and puts it in this ears,and then says: "lift up your shirt, now l'll listen to you". From this heartbeat immediately becomes frequent ans strong.

...yes, I can agree to that.

"Thick ruber tubes, massive cylindrical head..."

I feel like you ! That's why I love these Stethoscope models too.

They are for me simply - "sexy" ;-)

For me it is the look and just the process itself. A littman hands down is the sexiest brand and the only one i really like.

Well, that is a very difficult question and I would say "it depends":

First of all, the device itself can be a reason (e.g., a well-designed and -built stethoscope like a Littmann), providing very good sounds etc.

Next, it is of course connected to the person who is using it or whom you are going to examine with it.

Finally, it is even more sexy if you use it together with a BP cuff 😉

hhh4me

It will sound silly, but it is being topless in front of my doctor

From the POV of the patient: The temperature - the coolness against the skin

From the POV of the nurse in a real clinical setting: Listening to the vitality of another human, especially when something is wrong and it is apparent by auscultation what the course of treatment or therapy will be

From the POV of someone in a medfet scene (imagining here), in addition to the feelings described above: being able to tangibly hear someone’s anticipation, arousal, and comfort level

The woman wearing it.

I somehow like the bell the most, especially if it doesn't have a non-chill ring. I of course took it of on my stethoscope. I also like double tube stethoscope, I don't know why, but I like it.

Well, S17, I think, you've got a very sensible relationship to your Stethoscope. The bell without a non-chill ring is a very sexy experience for an auscultation ;-) Especially when the chest piece is heavy (brass) and doesn't warm up too quickly during auscultation. And double tubes, I love them also, me too. They look and feel (and made of rubber) they smell sexy. In my personal opinion, the Stethoscope which has got all the mentionned features, is the (old fashionned) Supraphon by Haselmeier. And you can still find some good pieces on Ebay.

Btw: What model and make exactly do you use?

Have fun with your Stethoscope(s) and enjoy it,

PS.: Just a remarque - I appreciate that you take part in the "Auscultation and Stethoscope Scene" in English. Because, in the German section, there isn't much "life", unfortunately. I don't know why, but I think there are less "cardiophiles" in the Geman speaking areas ? (...and in French, there's even less :-(

Btw: What model and make exactly do you use?

It is an ICE Medical Cardiology stethoscope. You can find it here: https://www.amazon.de/ICE-Medical-Kardiologie-Stethoskop-Klasse-III/dp/B0041LTVIQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_16?keywords=ice+medical&qid=1561310729&s=gateway&sprefix=ice+medical&sr=8-16

It has a very heavy chest piece and actually doesn't sound to bad. I also have a

cheap flat-head stethoscope which I got as a child, it was just to play doctor, I was about 5 years old or so. Maybe that was what triggered the stethoscope fetish inside me...

Hi,

thanks for the info. It looks like an expensive Littmann - and the price sounds reasonable. I've got a very similar one, and the accoustic quality isn't too bad, either. It looks sexy ;-)

Steths just look sexy but what makes it even better is the person using it being a cardiophile and loving hearing my heart

For me it's the simple thought of sharing it with a cute girl. Whether I'm on the headset or chest piece side makes no difference to me, but merely knowing I'm hearing this close friend's heartbeat, or she's hearing mine is a real ecstasy! Of course, I personally would never do it with someone random that I'm not close to, but if she's someone I've known long enough and well enough, I'm completely open to sharing it with her!

Of course, the stethoscope itself is a huge helper in this case. It might be fun to snuggle against someone's chest, but it's not easy to justify why without it sounding weird. With the use of the steth, it keeps enough boundary distance physically, while infiltrating several new boundaries emotionally! With no emotional boundaries passed at all, nothing can be sexy.

I genuinely don't believe anything else that isn't explicitly sexual can be more intimated than using a stethoscope on another loving human being.

The feel of it on your skin, and knowing that the person listening (even if it's yourself) can hear what is going on inside you. Also, when you see the doctor wearing it, it is the anticipation that all of the above things are going to happen!

I love that this thread has been going on for a while. I’m really pleased to find that there are so many people like me that find the use of the stethoscope so utterly sexy. It is not the stethoscope in itself it is it the thought of it being used. Watching a woman’s chest rise and fall as she takes deep breaths as I listen to her lungs or see another, preferably female doing the same is such a turn on. Then of course is the placement of the stethoscope on a woman’s chest when listening to the mitral valve area. I find it particularly arousing when her breasts are not too large. That’s what makes The Stethoscope sexy!

To me, in the exam room, it represents who has the power. Whether it's a nurse, doctor, medical assistant, etc, I am submitting myself to their authority at that moment. They tell me what to do and I do it. Sit still, deep breath, remove all my clothes and put on a gown, stand up and drop my pants… “ok”. That stethoscope represents the free reign they have over my body and what they may do with it.

I like how short my Littmann Cardio IV is. Short enough that I have to get pretty close to my patient to auscultate. It makes me feel like their heart is right in my ear.
