Medical fetishism
Medical fetishism (pronunciation: /ˈmɛdɪkəl ˈfɛtɪʃɪzəm/) is a sexual fetish that involves role-playing, where medical or clinical settings, tools, or procedures are used to elicit sexual arousal or gratification.
Etymology
The term "fetish" originates from the Portuguese word "feitico," which means "charm" or "sorcery." The term "medical" is derived from the Latin "medicus," meaning "physician." The combination of these terms to form "medical fetishism" is a relatively recent development in the English language, reflecting the fetish's emergence in the late 20th century.
Description
Medical fetishism can involve a wide range of activities, including role-playing as doctors, nurses, or patients, the use of medical instruments for sexual stimulation, and the enactment of medical procedures. It can also involve the fetishization of specific medical garments, such as white coats, scrubs, and surgical masks.
