Enjoying Medical Kink
Turned on by the thought of your partner dressing up as a nurse? Excited by the feel of latex or the slap of a rubber glove? If you’re seeking to enrich your sex life with medical kink, then Lovehoney is the place to explore everything from Wartenberg wheels to electro toys.
Newbie? Don’t worry, we’ve got you. Medical kink - also known as medical fetishism - involves deriving sexual pleasure from medical scenarios including objects, practices, environments and situations of a medical or clinical nature.
An inclusive and wide-ranging area of kink, it can include:
Experiencing sexual attraction to medical professionals such as doctors and nurses
Deriving pleasure from sexual partners dressing up as a medical professional
Feeling aroused by receiving a medical or clinical procedure such as a bodily examination
Intrigued? From a psychological perspective, sexologist, psychologist and writer Dr. Brenda Love speculates that sexual games involving medicine might be appealing to some because of the anxiety connected to seeking medical help, and that this can lead to a “natural increase in energy in a sexual experience”.
Want to introduce medical kink to your sex life? Discuss it with your partner first. Do they share the same kink, or would they be willing to explore it with you?
Is it just costume play you’re seeking to try, or would you want to introduce toys - like speculums or dilators - to enhance the experience? Make sure you’re on the same page.
Next, set some boundaries. As with any form of BDSM play, you’ll need to discuss safe words and ground rules. Comfort is key and consent is essential. It’s sexy to check in, so take it slow if you need to. Good? Great.
Types of BDSM Medical Play
Interested in exploring medical kink? It can be enjoyed in a few different ways, so there’s plenty of room for exploration. Types of activities that have been reported as medical fetishes include:
Genital and urological examinations (i.e. a gynaecological examination)
Genital procedures (i.e. fitting a catheter or a menstrual cup)
Rectal procedures (i.e. insertion of suppositories, having a prostate massage, recording a rectal temperature)
Applying medical dressings, accessories or medical devices (i.e. putting on a bandage or nappy, applying plaster to a broken bone or fitting an orthopaedic brace or cast).
Anaesthesia fetishes have also been recorded, which is considered edgeplay. This can encompass wearing anaesthesia masks or even reading stories of anaesthestic inductions.
If you’re wanting to get down and dirty with a medical examination, speculum play is a suitable place to start. Probe your partner with a vaginal speculum - whether steel or plastic - or get up close and personal with an anal proctoscope. Pair with a water-based lube to ward off any nasty germs.
Physical examinations can be accompanied by strap-on play to heighten the intimacy of the patient. Feeding into humiliation play, the receiver can be placed in physical restraints beforehand or gagged to enhance the experience.
Feeling the buzz? Electro sex is a natural accoutrement, involving the application of electrical stimulation to the nerves with electro toys like the ElectraStim range.
Splash out with a dual channel electrosex kit that can power up to 4 uni-polar toys. Operating on the same technology as TENS machines and lazy tummy toners, it offers medical-grade couples’ electro-play.
To top it all off, try dressing up in one of Lovehoney’s diverse range of nurse costumes. To feel the fantasy, top it off with a sexy stethoscope.
