Bio
Medical fetishism is a paraphilia where the activities and paraphernalia of medicine are eroticised. Many observers believe that medical fetishism is the result of behavioral imprinting from childhood.
Observation of paraphiliac behavior has provided valuable scientific information on the mechanisms of sexual attraction and desire, such as behavioral imprinting. Careful investigation has also led to the tentative conclusions that normal biological processes may sometimes be manifested in idiosyncratic ways in at least some of the paraphilias, and that these unusual manifestations are frequently associated with unusual (and especially traumatic) events associated with early sexual experience.
Typical medical fetishism scenarios include intimate examinations (rectal examination, gynecological examination), rectal temperature taking, catheterization, enemas, injections, the insertion of suppositories and prostatic massage.
An additional twist on medical fetishism is surgical fetishism, which eroticises the idea of either performing surgery or having surgery performed on one's self. Even more specific is anesthesia fetishism which involves the procedures and devices used to perform general anesthesia, especially the mask used to administer gaseous anesthesia to a patient. These can be related to hypnofetishism or balloon fetishism (the latter likely because of the balloon-like 'rebreathing bag' often used when administering gaseous anethesia).
It should be noted that attempting to carry out medical procedures without medical training and hygiene is potentially highly dangerous and could get somebody seriously hurt or even killed.
