Examination | Medical Fetish/Interest born …

First post

I was just reading through this old board:

http://www.zity.biz/index.php?mx=forum;ox=display;msg=60438

And saw that message, and wondered if people's interest in topics on this site are born out of fear of them. For me, I have ALWAYS HATED going to the doctor for anything that meant I would possibly have to get undressed, for as long as I can remember, the earliest being about 5. I feared it for that single reason. I didn't want the doc to listen to my heart, see my body, or anything else. I was OK until the steth exam for some reason. Our pediatrician was a scary, scary man. Then we got a new doc, he retired or something. The most traumatic thing ever was in 5th grade when I went for my school physical in the summer. My mother had just bought me my first training bra and I would have rather died than let that doctor (who me and my sis both hated) see me in that, even though we wore paper vests. I hated men doctors. Still do and refuse to see one. When I got into the exam room the nurse said to take off our shirt. I forgot I had camisoles at home (pre-bra days) and didn't wear one, so I had nothing on under it. My mother made us take them off. She said to me, why didn't you wear your bra? Anyway, that dr. saw us that day and was the first time I remember having to remove my pants so he could look under my underwear. I was horrified, mortified. So here I was on a table at age 11 with nothin on but a paper vest. I told her I would never, EVER go see him again, and she didn't make us. Next physical was at age 16 going into 11th grade and my mom found me a really nice woman dr. who specialized in teenagers, AND she let me drive myself there. She didn't make me get undressed at all, and I felt very comfortable. I got one physical when I was around 24 for my new job, but all it was, was in a clinic and the young doc listened over my shirt for two seconds, took my bp, did a quick eye test, and that was it. I had gone to doctors in between times when I was sick and they always listened over my shirt or never made me take it off. The best dr. I ever had was when I lived in another city about 15 years ago and she's the one that diagnosed my thyroid and I was never, ever afraid to go to her and in fact I liked her a lot and trusted her. I miss having that, and haven't ever been that way since. Now, I get one only when I have to get medicine updated, and even then it's minor. As an adult, I have gone for physicals on occasion and one or two have been pretty comprehensive. But I still fear them and hate them and wouldn't go at all if I didn't absolutely have to get my medicine updated (hyperthyroid) once a year. I really really have to build myself up for it. I wonder if it's because I don't like the feeling of intimacy (which I think is a subcurrent of a dr-patient relationship but not in a romantic way) with someone I don't, or barely, know.

So I wonder if other people might think this "interest", for themselves, is somehow related to a deep-seated fear or dislike, or where it actually comes from.

Yes! It was always a fear for me growing up. It wasn't until I got use to it and reached sexual maturity that I was like oh...ok I see ;-]

So this is an older post and I'm late to the party. I think it's a great question and hopefully we might hear from others if the post is livened up.

I definitely think my love/hate relationship with anything medical possibly started as fear/embarrassment. I'll try and be brief, but the backstory is crucial to my bizarre sexual proclivities.

I'm going to come back later. I just don't have the time right now. Sorry for the dumb post, but maybe me posting this will keep me on point to finish later.

Although I’ve never experienced fear in a medical setting, there have been experiences that I would say felt unusual or slightly uncomfortable that have helped develop my interest with real medical exams.

One experience I remember very vividly was when i was 12 and was permitted to be examined without a parent in the room. The exam was identical to those I received in the past until it came time for the genital exam. Up to that point the doctor had always taken a quick look and feel while I was lying down. The doctor would slightly lower my pants and underwear and refasten them quite quickly and since I was lying down of course I couldn’t see what was going on.

At this exam however, he sat on his stool, put on a pair of gloves and asked me to stand and lower my pants. Not only did this require more nudity than I was accustomed to, the exam itself was more detailed and required a hernia exam. Having to stand directly in front of my doctor and being able to see my doctor looking directly at and touching and manipulating my genitals also heightened the intimate and personal nature of the exam. And on top of that, this was all done at an age of heightened awareness of the changes in my body, especially the genitals.

So although this was not a fearful experience, it was very memorable due to the level of exposure and the physical and mental sensation of watching another person seeing and feeling a part of my body that had never been made so public before.

Yours wasn't a 'dumb post', Luvnurses62 (nor yours, supermoney777)! My own MedFet certainly had its origins in my childhood fear of doctors (and at a certain point a resentment at their invading my young body, although that may not have developed until I reached puberty - sorting out one's medical memories, when they are so many, if sometimes vague, is difficult!).

Speaking of which, if you or anyone reading this thread can say with some certainty that your own MedFet (and any components, such as an anaesthesia fetish, say) goes back to something that happened to you, I'd love for you to also contribute to the thread on 'Our fetishes - in the big context!' that's running in The Lounge/The Parlor!

I'm finally back to finish my story of phobia to fetish.

I have White Coat Hypertension. Bad. HR over 100 and BP in the 160-170/90-100 range. Almost anytime someone takes my vitals. Even when I try and take my own blood pressure, HR and BP are substantially elevated. It's a terrible, terrible affliction. I have suffered this since I was 9 or 10 as best I remember. It started with a physical for a two week summer camp. As my name was called, I stood to follow the nurse. My mom stood as well. I remember thinking I was too old for her to go with me, but of course, said nothing. It had never happened before, but has happened every single time since.

My heart started to pound in my chest. Hard and fast. I felt my face getting hot. My hands were shaky. By the time the Doc came in, Male, 50's, not my usual, my neck and chest were flushed red in a kind of blotchy pattern. I was a nervous wreck. I don't know what my blood pressure or HR were that day, but I know they were nowhere near normal. I had an EKG done and a chest X-ray to rule out any abnormalities. At that young age, I couldn't or wouldn't just say "I'm nervous as hell!" From then on, any encounter where I even think my pulse will be taken, blood pressure measured, or my heart auscultated makes me a nervous wreck.

Also, after that particular exam and before I was even sexually mature, I was fascinated with the blood pressure cuff and the stethoscope. As I matured, I realized I was drawn to them both as a sexual stimulus.

My biggest, most intense sexual trigger is the cuff and scope. What a bizarre fetish. It's not really a fetish, as I can and do get up and off without. A very strong kink I suppose. Bizarre though. I've managed to meet a few people online who share the affection, though I'm not sure any as strong as mine. Feel free to say hello should you be one of a few who gets off on getting their BP measured😃

PS Kenneth177. Thanks for the kind words😃

I remember being afraid of the doctor when very young, not wanting to undress for him and definitely terrified of shots. As I got a little older, fear was reduced to apprehension. But it was always mixed with some amount of curiosity and excitement. Embarrassment was another element of it but that, too, was a mixed thing. I very distinctly remember - and I even wrote it down at the time because I tended to be an introvert and I kept journals - that I had what I knew would be a complete physical coming up and I had just recently begun to show signs of puberty. I was both terrified and excited that that would be exposed.

Always had a degree of apprehensiveness about doctor visits.

Definitely an aspect of apprehension and an excited dread at the possibility of any exam happening again.
