Why does MedFet Arouse you?

It has varying degrees of realism. In some cases it could pass for real life medical procedures

I was born 42 years ago with spina bifida, and have had 16 surgeries---the first right at birth more or less, and the last in 1992. So I am pretty comfortable with hospitals. I am still very tight with my medical team. As I age, other problems will occur.

My fetish within medfet is masks. At first, before I would have even understood sexuality, I loved seeing girls my be put under anesthesia with masks (especially the old black beauties), or just be attached to oxygen masks.

I'm not sure when, but as I got older, my mask fetish veered off course to surgical masks and other protective masks. I remember in my preteens seeing (on TV) real-life footage of a very pretty girl my age who was in the hospital playroom wearing a white nightgown (not a hospital gown) and a white tie-on surgical mask. She was just sitting there, happily drawing, masked up because of a transplant if I remember correctly.

In my mind, it would have been more logical to develop a surgery fetish or exam fetish. The anesthesia mask fetish does make sense because I have had surgery, but I'm not sure how this veered into a fetish for girls in protective (N95, surgical maskss, cartridge respirators [which are actually occasionally used in certain hospitals]).

Humiliation, loss of control, being naked except for briefs, and exposing my genitals and anus to a fully clothed stranger are the keys to my medical fetish. Being under the control of the doctor who is in a dominant position to me and having to submit to the commands he gives during the exam is humiliating and exciting at the same time. Being in my briefs in front of a completely clothed doctor who is a stranger is embarrassing. Thinking about the fact that the doctor knows before he comes into the exam room how the physical will proceed while I have to wait and see how it happens is a real feeling of submissiveness and powerlessness. Having him take me through the exam, step by step, doing what he says and feeling more and more anxious waiting to find out how thorough the physical will be is extremely embarrassing. He is in control. If and when he wants to see my genitals, he gives the orders. He tells me what to do and I am an active participant in my own humiliation. I think about the fact that he has seen a lot of penises and is comparing mine to the others. I wonder what he is thinking about how mine measures up to the others. He gets to decide if and when my genitals are unveiled, my penis handled, my balls handled, my anus probed. This is embarrassing and humiliating but gives me excitement when I think back about it afterward. I love recalling the incredibly anxious feelings I have when I am told to lie back for the abdominal exam and the suspense of waiting for the doctor to instruct me to stand and drop the shorts is a huge rush after I get home and ready to masturbate. I love recalling his exact words!

In my day to day world, I have complete control over what I do and how I pursue what I like or enjoy. The medical exam, however, is one of those experiences that began early in life but became more concerning as I entered puberty and developed self awareness. Until then, it seemed rather perfunctory and usually something done to me rather than feeling aroused by what took place. Once my body began to develop, the notion of being undressed in front of a stranger took on different meaning and left me with different feelings of arousal, embarrassment, surprise, and occasional discomfort. "The doctor will see you," automatically made me heart race followed my mental gymnastics once I reached the room. "Is this going to be fast or one of those long visits? How undressed do I have to get? I don't want the nurse seeing me bare." Then as the door closed, "Take off everything for the doctor" always made me shake inside and realize this is embarrassing, which seemed to send a message to my penis to hide! Talk about shrinkage! Now I am not so preoccupied with the entire size nonsense. Seeing it respond to the Doctor's touch is okay and a reminder, "The thing has a mind of its own!"

So for me, it has been a combination of early growing up experiences and now a more mature realization that there are a lot of sexual feelings associated with my exams. I am sure this is common.

Like so many others, I have no idea why I enjoy medfet so much.

I had one experience as a kid, around 12 or so when the doctor did a very thorough exam on my penis and testicles. But it was long before that when I started playing doctor.

As an adult, I am in a professional job where I have a considerable amount of control over others. I really enjoy the submission aspect of being the patient in an exam. Not knowing or having any control is arousing. When asked to take the lead as a dom, I can do it but it is not nearly as enjoyable as being a patient.

Maybe genetics. It did since I was a kid.

I occasionally like to inflict a little (or a lot of) pain. 😁

If the medical profession is as boring and mundane as you describe, why would anyone fantasize about it? Supposedly, only those who lack an insider's perspective sexualize this noble field. Perhaps, you have not been as truthful and forthcoming as you would have us believe.

What are you talking about? Don you have an issue with something/someone??

It's being naked in a room full of strangers who all have social permission to look at and touch me. There is a constant fear of exposure, penetration and violation that is also exciting.

It started when I was about 5. I felt such shame when my pediatrician would look at my vulva and anus, but it made me tingle at the same time. Even as a child, I wanted to know how it would feel if the doctor put a finger into my vagina. He never did, but I kind of wanted it to happen.

@ZeldaToday Same. When my pediatrician touched and examined my penis and testicles, especially once I'd started puberty, omg that was electrifyingly embarrassing. Even worse (better) was being on my stomach and feeling his fingers pull my 12 year old cheeks wide open and look at my anus. I was mortified but could not stop thinking about it for days. That's when I went home and first looked at my anus in the mirror. It became an obsession admittedly. Wasn't until a few years later, me 16 her 15, that I did the same to someone else, a visual memory in my mind to this day.

For me it’s the embarrassment of being exposed, being touched and checked for deficiencies of my body by a seemingly perfect person that does not have to undergo such procedure, eg does not have a temperature that needs to be checked or does have perfect teeth and, hence, does not need braces...

It's fun to poke, probe or penetrate another person's body and not care whether they like it or want it to be done. 😈

Med fet arouses me because it all started with my circumcision, therefore I associate any medical examination with the improvement of my penis,

hence its all sexually focussed, even just visiting a clinic for any reason has me aroused, of course being attended by fit doctors helps too.

Some pretty good replies there putting it much more eloquently than I could .

But essentially it’s against social norms , being naked and handled in front of or by a stranger . It’s the control of the Doctor an authoratative figure . It’s the vulnerability of him or her being clothed and you naked . The embarrassment and humiliation .

I love being the authoratative figure and subjecting my “patients” to all sorts of indignities , but I also like being exposed and vulnerable myself . Seen from both sides . Surely the best of both worlds, appreciating each situation all the more .

For me, like many who have answered previously, it is largely about the power dynamic and control/vulnerability.

In my everyday life, I am usually the one in charge - in the office, on the job site, at home.... People come to me for advice, follow my direction, and ask me what to do.

In a medical situation, the tables are turned. This isn't a domination/submission thing (at least I don't think it is!). It's about role reversal, vulnerability, and embarrassment - and to some degree, objectification. It's the thoroughness of the medical professional and the frequent disregarding of societal norms, and often the viewing and manipulation of a body part (or patient) as an object. I guess it is that at the most intimate moment of vulnerability, the medical professional is, by nature, emotionally and personally detached.

For me personally, this is compounded if there is more than one medical professional/staff involved or present. This could be the swarm of nurses and staff handling pre-op procedures, or it could be the ultrasound technician asking a more experienced colleague or doctor to come in and review what's on the screen, or the nurse practitioner or physician assistant bringing in a chaperone or observer - to me, that becomes an accelerant.

That's my view, anyway.

I’ll put my amateur psych hat on and say for me it’s a combo of:

Early sexualized experiences playing doctor with my cousin

Natural sub tendencies tie in with the ‘helpless’ role of the patient

Reinforcement of both through a disturbing real medical exam in early puberty

The above causing a fixation on sexualized medical play

I think the biggest thing for most people is the giving up of control. Trusting a complete stranger can be exciting if its the right one. Its also a safe way for some to feel sexual without the act of intercourse

I want to spin off what @Nurse_Phillips said about "Reinforcement... through a disturbing real medical exam." For context, BTW, I'm male and bisexual. Both my fetishes (school paddling and medical exams with non-assisting chaperones or witnesses) came about from disturbing, deeply embarrassing personal encounters. My sadistic kindergarten teacher used to paddle us in front of the whole class, and I've been hooked on that ritual of embarrassment and pain from the very first one I watched. Fifty years later, I was subjected without my consent to a female chaperone for an "intimate" examination of my testicles by a female NP, and now I can't get that one out of my head either. The common elements, of course, are the surrendering of bodily control, the exposure or close attention to intimate body parts, and the embarrassment of being watched while those things happen. Both introductions came as a complete surprise and were viscerally shocking emotionally. In both cases I reacted by doing everything I could to avoid those situations, while simultaneously being obsessed with reproducing them. That all sounds entirely emotional and psychological, but I can assure you the sexual arousal I still experience in recalling them is immediate and demanding.

For me it's the involuntary genital exposure - being told to strip naked, or doctor removing underwear to reveal all of the patient. So that's embarrassment, fear, power imbalance, sexual undertones or overtones, compounded by the memories of childhood and teen medical experiences. As a gay man, seeing another man naked, or being seen naked, carries its own extra thrills, curiosity and insecurities as well.

That's why I love MedFet!

Avenue to Anal play. Both ways.

A multitude of factors. Youth experiences, feeling vulnerable, giving up control, the setting, having your body exposed, poked and prodded, ppe, etc.

I've been in the hospital more than 50 l times for 30 medical and 20 mental i became institutionalized and it became a. sexual fetish. I think some that turn me on are power exchange, being taken care of, restraining in bed, whether that's because mostly I fell down when got of the bed when I had pneumonia or a few times to the ER cot cuz I tried to run off. I like Sponge bathes. I like catheters. I like gowns scrubs and slipper socks. I like being stripped. I don't know why but there's something special about shoes of course you can't run off when they take your shoes but I've always felt more naked with my shoes off fully dressed in the backyard as compared with naked with my shoes on in the backyard. I can go on.

It’s a soft non Dom/slave way of having control over someone plus I love inspecting and examining female bodies thoroughly

As I've mentioned elsewhere on this site, medfet plays into the broader power dynamic, especially when an ageplay element is involved. Doctors and nurses are authority figures by nature, and to a child or young person, even more so. They're the ultimate authority; the only adults that are not only allowed, but required, to touch you wherever they claim to need to, to have you undress if it's required, and the patient is simply expected to obey. If that's not word-for-word a dom/sub relationship, I don't know what is.

Like others said, yes the power dynamic. The doctor being in charge for my own good. The attention and feeling cared for as the doctor has me undress and examines me. Feeling exposed. It all feels so good. I kind of want the doctor to treat me like a child. I kind of want the nurse to take my temp rectally instead of orally. Definitely the humiliation is a factor and feeling that I'm under they're care and they're taking care of me.

This is a good question that in all honesty I cannot answer. I simply don't know why it should be medfet.

Many members analyze the patient-doctor dynamic in terms of dominance and humiliation, control and helplessness and other opposing emotions.These are ll good and well in that they are present in medfet play, at least in many instances.

But the thing is in real life I hate not being able to control my life and being at the ‘mercy’ or behest of others. And I most certainly do not like to be humiliated or embarrassed. Anyone who does that to me in real life is someone I will never want to see again.

So what else is it: The nakedness or the various odd and often titillating procedures having to do with bodily penetration or the handling of intimate parts? Perhaps, but to experience these, conventional sex works just as well.

To agracier (post #57 ) and others. The sex impulse, and the feelings associated with it in different individuals, are surely not ‘rational’. In a way, that's all that there is to be said!! Of course, something like a medfet or other fetish may have an almost infinite number of triggers in different people - whether a teeth fetishist or a tree fetishist (or a few hundred other types). In my observations, though, the fetish typically has its roots in childhood, often in a feeling of powerlessness or even humiliation, and a later attempt - sexualised - to reverse the situation or be its master. Still, l can imagine the obverse. The school bully or the nature lover, say, may grow up with a fetish for being humiliated or for being dominated by ‘the great outdoors’.

What do others think?

During childhood, the doctor may be the only one who gets to see you nude in some cases. There may be some who keep their bodies private from even their parents. Potentially making tem uncomfortable with nudity because they're not used to it, and are now put into a situation where they're forced to be nude. Then to be touched on top of it.

Then as they start to become comfortable with nudity and become sexually active later in life, they can look back on these times in certain ways. And objects or procedures associated with their experiences can be arousing for them.

It is not the fetish itself that excites me but the very image of the doctor excites me.

I am excited by the way how a doctor looks. These gowns, gloves, caps, masks, respirators... I like it very much.

And I could also highlight this special emotional connection when you look at the doctor as a god and do not freely admire him.
