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. Typical medical fetishism scenarios include intimate examinations (rectal examination, gynecology), thermometer#Medical thermometer, catheterization, enemas, the insertion of suppository 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. ==See also== * Sexual fetishism * klismaphilia * rubber fetishism Sexual fetishism
== Warning == Just curious, since I'm pretty new here, but it seems unencyclopaedic and POV to have the warning at the end like it is. --User:CoderGnome 11:27, 19 May 2005 (UTC) :I'm open to suggestions- where should it be then? At the top,? On aa sidebar? Or no warning at all? I o think it needs to be there ''somewhere'' - this not a topc to be taken lighty...~ User:Pacula 02:00, 20 May 2005 (UTC) ::It should either be removed, or changed into a more factual note. In the article on Cyanide, there isn't a note saying, "Do not consume, it could be fatal". Likewise here, it should be assumed that people are of sound mind and do not need a reminder that this sort of stuff is dangerous. I have yet to see any other article with this sort of warning. If you, or anyone else, still disagrees, then I will add a POV check template to the page. If not, then I will remove the warning. --User:CoderGnome 20:26, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC) :::The problem is that, at least when it comes to things that sexually arouse a given person, the 'sound mind' bit is at least a little bit questionable. It's a lot harder to be objective over stuff that gets one 'hot and bothered', so a little in-your-face note to be careful was appropriate. If consuming cyanide was a more common sexual fetish perhaps it should have such a warning. ;) Seriously though, I thought it might be a good idea to remind people that this kind of 'play' might be more dangerous than they realize. Admittedly, the big bold warning might be overkill, but it has been like that for a while now, and I thought it's removal was wrong. The related article on Anesthesia fetishism also has a similar big-bold warning, though that is a MUCH more dangerous area of play. Personally, I think the warning should stay here as well, but if you want to tone it down (as long as it's there in some form) I won't object. Perhaps breathplay could be used as an example of how to make a less-dramatic way of expressing a warning? - User:Pacula 01:51, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC) ::::So you think it is the place of an encyclopaedia to remind people not to do stupid things? If someone wants to put their life at risk, they will regardless of whether they read such a warning on Wikipedia. We should be presenting facts, not advice. --User:CoderGnome 15:16, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
