Some people eroticize intimate examinations as part of a medical fetish, and as such are a common service offered byprofessional dominants.
An intimate examination can form part of a scene in medical play where the nurse or doctor (or even or a nun)[1] inflicts one or more embarrassing and humiliating quasi-medical procedures on the patient. Often, frozen or heated objects are introduced to the patient's body to simulate the uncomfortable sensations that can occur during a real examination. Examinations may include an examination and intrusion of the anus, urethra, or vagina, as well as handling and manipulation of the penis, testicles, clitoris, and nipples. Quite often, strap-on play is also incorporated, as this can heighten the intimacy and the sensations of the "patient" (recipient). This may be a prelude to masturbation or administration of an enema. Before examination, the patient can be placed inphysical restraints andgagged, and wear some form of embarrassing clothing.

Enema fetishism is a sexual fetish forenemas and is a type ofklismaphilia, the general enjoyment of enemas, and hence those enjoying enemas are referred to as klismaphiliacs. This fetish includes not only giving and receiving enemas but also sexual attraction to the equipment, processes, environments, situations, or scenarios.[1] Some may be sexually aroused by the preparations, such as by the feel and smell of a latex rubber or plastic syringe, by the smell of soapsuds enema solution, or by preparing the recipient.[2] Roleplaying often accompanies these activities.[1]
Enemas can causesexual arousal in both women and men because thebulbospongiosus muscle which starts in front of theanus contributes, in women, toclitoral erection and the contractions oforgasm, and closing thevagina. In men, this muscle correlates toerections, the contractions of orgasm, andejaculation. Sexual sensation results from distention of therectum by filling and dilating it with the volume of an enema which in women, puts pressure on the back of the vagina, and in men stimulates theprostate andseminal vesicles.[3] Also, contractions of muscles throughout the abdomen caused by expulsion of an enema can stimulate, in women, theuterus and vagina, and in men, the prostate, seminal vesicle, andinternal penis.[2]
Because enemas involve at least partial nudity and the exposure and probing of the anus, many people find themembarrassing. An erotic enema holds the possibility of acting out vulnerability in a primal form. Among the attractions to enema play are psychodrama,power exchange,erotic humiliation,discipline, and so on.[1]BDSM punishment scenes can use extra-large volumes or highly irritating substances to produce pain and cramps.[3] Klismaphiliacs often discover their fetish for enemas after having one administered.
Medical fetishism can also include the use ofmedical restraints, includingstraitjackets, historically associated with the treatment of mentally ill people.

Anesthesia fetishism is a sexual fetish foranesthesia. This may include the sexual attraction to the equipment, processes, substances, effects, environments or situations. Sexual arousal from the desire to administer anesthesia, or the sexual desire for oneself to be anesthetized are two forms in which an individual may exist as an arbiter of the fetish. Older-style anesthesia masks of black rubber, still in occasional use today, are one of the more common elements fetishized, and have earned the nicknameBlack Beauty by many fetishists.
Anesthesia fetish is considerededgeplay, as when realized outside the boundaries of fantasy may result in various degrees of harm, or death.Fantasies are elaborated by the viewing of images and reading of stories of anesthetic inductions.Edgeplay may involve obtaining andscening with various anesthesia-related paraphernalia—usually anesthesia masks forbreathplay, the acquisition of anesthetics for anesthetizing others or being anesthetized oneself, and the occupation of a medical setting or environment for the same practice.
Some anesthesia fetishists who seek to be anesthetized may feign or induce medical conditions in an attempt to obtain general anesthesia from medical personnel. This is considered safer than playing with anesthetic agents outside of a medical setting.
TheInternet has enabled people with this relatively rareparaphilia to discuss the subject and exchange anesthesia-relatedmultimedia. Anesthesia fetishism has been a relatively obscure fetish for a long time. However, with the advent of the internet, individuals with this fetish have been able to connect with each other and share their experiences and interests. Online forums and discussion boards dedicated to the subject have popped up, allowing individuals to engage in conversations and exchange multimedia related to anesthesia fetishism.[citation needed]
