Medical fetishism is just what it sounds like: a fetish for things of a medical nature. This ranges from a lust for those of the medical profession to full on exams. Some subsets of this fetish are rectal fetish, gyno-fetish, and even abasiophilia (the attraction to those who are mobility impaired, i.e. wheel chairs and crutches). Usually these fetishes are played out in medical scene role play. It's quite simply the very adult version of 'playing doctor.'
While most medical fetishists don't go very far beyond the naughty nurse costume or a nice lab coat, there are others who take this type of role-play to the extreme. In most cases medical fetish, in all its varieties, is used as a form of foreplay for a sexual experience. Sometimes the role-players may choose to completely forfeit the sexual practices from the session and instead focus solely on the medical examination and procedure portion. For them this means no direct genital or erogenous stimulation or release for either partner. They instead seek out their pleasure through the acts of being examined, catheterized, or in some cases having incisions made. These more extreme sessions are typically undergone by Risk Aware Consensual Kink (RACK) participants, accompanied by the use of a safe-word.
Medical fetishism is more than just watching medical porn or wanting to boff your doctor, though. There are many different forms of this kind role play, some, that for the people involved, can be very therapeutic. For example, apotemnophila, the love of amputees, is a kind of medical fetish which can help make those who have suffered the loss of a limb feel desirable and beautiful. The same is true for those with scars or living their lives in wheel chairs. This form of kink can be as helpful to them as a hug from a lover may be to you.
Now that you have some idea about what medical fetishism is and who might choose to participate in this kind of role play, it's time to learn about what they do and what tools they use. First off, to set the scene a medical fetishist might make use of some costumes. These range from the naughty nurse and a doctor's coat or scrubs, to patient gowns and even straight jackets should the person wish to try an asylum scene. Accessories that might be used are latex gloves, surgical masks, oxygen and gas masks, and sometimes various forms of braces. Braces can include neck corsets and braces, leg braces, and metal finger and hand restraints.

The play area or 'exam room' may have a examination table, gyno-chair with stirrups, or just be a bed with wrists and ankle cuffs attached. There may be an IV stand off to the side for any enema or catheter bags that may come into use. The exam table might have absorbent pads laid on it in case of excessive moisture. And off to one side a table of some sort to hold the practitioner's other tools may be waiting. This is a typical scene for most medical fetishists.
As when you go to doctor's office, so too will most medical fetish scenes begin with basic patient care and physical examination. This is when a stethoscope or a rectal thermometer might come out. Some nurses and doctors in these scenes may even choose to shave some portion or other of their patient's anatomy using either a disposable blade or straight razor.
Gynecological and rectal play are some of the most common forms of medical fetishism. Those interested in these kinds of role play will often undergo gyno- or rectal exams. This includes being opened by speculums, proctoscopes (a tube for opening and looking deep into the rectum), soundings, and urethral plugs. Others in the patient's position may have catheters attached, be given enemas, or have syringes filled with air or another liquid interested anally to be emptied. (A syringe such as this should never be inserted into a woman's vagina as an air embolism may occur and lead to a fatality.)
Another part of medical play is sensory testing. When you visit a doctor's office you may find yourself getting tapped on the knee with a small hammer. This hammer is called a Taylor hammer and is used to test sensory information. Many medical fetishists will use this and several other instruments to stimulate sensations. Some of these tools are the Wartenberg wheel, the buck hammer, the eight pin needle hammer, and a talon scratcher. Electric shock therapy and the neon wand are another type of sensory play. If the medical kinksters want to have an asylum scene or simply incite a jolting reaction from their 'patients,' they might use electric shock in their role play.
Other forms of activity for medical fetishists are the use of needle or scalpel play. Needle play is when a needle is inserted in or through the flesh. Some medical kink lovers will even go so far as to perform actual piercings as part of their role play. Scalpels can be used to make small incision to mimic or in some cases perform minor surgeries; this is generally a practice for RACK kinksters only. As with the case of piercings with needle play, scartography can become an occurrence with scalpel and blood play. Scartography is the practice of cutting and carving a design into the flesh to form a picture. Those using needle and scalpel play in their medical fetishes should always use alcohol swabs both before and after play.
A few other types of instruments and practices of the medical fetishist are the use of dental dams and gags. Dental play is much like other forms of medical play, only the practitioners tend to focus more on the oral aspect of things. Others may make use of forceps or other clamps, or bandages to 'mummify' their patients. If bandages are to be used a pair of bondage shears should be kept close at hand for quick removal.
Finally should the practitioners choose to include more direct sexual stimulation the use of vibrators and prostate massagers can come into play. Vibrators were originally created and used as a medical treatment for hysteria, so it's not surprising that medical fetishist would still use this today. Prostate massagers may also be used to stimulate males into orgasm in much the same measure.
There are many forms of medical kink and fetishes for those who care to explore this avenue of role play. They have therapeutic and sexually satisfying qualities for those who are interested in pursuing them. While medical fetishes may not be for everyone, for those who are interested in them, they are something worth knowing about.
