Do you fantasize about naughty nurses or cruel but perverted nurses?
Then you might have a nurse fetish! It’s more common than you think to have a fondness for nurses in the medical world, and it’s one of those fetishes that crosses the lines between vanilla and fetish.
While for some it’s simply about the costume, others may be more attracted to the surgical procedures and clinical situations.
However (and to what extent) you’re attracted to nurses, there are plenty of resources in the fetish community to help you explore this kink safely.
In this guide, we take a closer look at the nurse fetish and how it relates to medical fetishes. We look at the connections and psychology behind it, and how popular this fetish is in the porn industry
Finally, we’ll give you some online resources that you can use to connect with others in the community who also share this fetish.
What is a nurse fetish?
As with any fetishism, a nurse fetish is about much more than just finding nurses sexy, although this is a common theme of fantasy (see below).
What sets it apart as a fetish is that nurses become a primary focus of sexual desire and fulfillment, and can even be an exclusive part of a nurse fetishist’s sex life.
The nurse fetish is often linked to a medical fetish (see “Nurse Fetishism: Causes and Links to Other Fetishes,” below) and can be both dominant and submissive.
Nurses are often seen as caregivers and as those who administer treatments, but in role-play they may also be seduced by patients or other medical personnel, including doctors.
Fantasies may also include lesbian relationships between two (or more) nurses who indulge in sexual pleasure at work.
It may be the clinical environment that triggers the fetish, the uniform, or the role itself.
Why are nurses sexy?
While many fetishes are out of the comfort zone for most people, many men (and women) find nurses sexy, no matter how kinky. In fact, it seems that regardless of age, culture, race, religion, and geography, the appeal of nurses is universal.
But what makes nurses so sexy?
There are many psychological reasons that draw us to people in medical professions, and most of them are ingrained in us from an early age.
By and large, nurses are:
- Compassionate
- Intelligent
- Caring
- Self-reliant
They’ve seen it all, can stick their hands in, and are prepared for emergencies!
Basically, nurses are in control in a fetish situation and their patients are usually helpless against them. It’s also true that most nurses (at least in our youth) are (or were) female, and that plays into the femdom role (or the role of the powerful woman) that is prevalent in many kinks.
And then there are the uniforms! Okay, the modern theatrical gowns and plastic shoes aren’t nearly as exciting as the pre-1980s “traditional” nurse outfit. Nevertheless, this “costume” arouses many fantasies in both men and women, based on early childhood experiences.
Nurse fetishism: causes and connections to other fetishes
While there is (usually) no single cause for a particular fetish or partialism, it is widely believed that sexual imprinting occurs during adolescence.
While some people may recall being hospitalized and nursed by a nurse in childhood or adolescence, others may associate the beginning of their fascination with representations of the “nurse” in popular culture.
And this is a very crucial point. The “nurse” as a stereotype has been sexualized for generations, and hardly anyone will have grown up without seeing some form of “sexy/naughty nurse.”
Doctors and nurses are also a common game we play when we are younger, and it is thought that this exploration of our bodies in childhood may be one of the triggers for later sexual fascination with the profession.
Historically, nurses have been seen as “angelic” and “selfless,” which may also be related to subversion fantasies of “defiling” an innocent. This is particularly common among “candystripers” or young nurses.
There is also some evidence that nurses were viewed as women of ill repute. This could be related to the demands of their profession, as they were assigned to army camps. The only other women who followed the camps were, of course, the whores.
Another theory about the history of sexualization of nurses is due to the fact that many nurses were unmarried, which made them a “legitimate” fantasy for male patients.
Nurse Fetish (Medical Fetish)
A nurse fetish is closely related to other medical fetishes.
One of the closest links to nurse fetishism is, of course, the medical fetish (or “medfet”). The two are inextricably linked and revolve around similar themes, roles, and situations. This can extend to, but is not limited to, the following:
- Medical and surgical procedures
- Intimate examinations
- Use of specialized equipment
- Insertions
- Injections
- Enemas
- Catheterization
- Diaper changes
- Restraints, gags and anesthesia
- Uniforms/costumes
- Role-playing of various medical professions such as surgeons, nurses, dentists
Each of these elements can easily be combined with a variety of other fetishes, including BDSM, needle/blood play, adult baby syndrome, urethral and anal fetishes, electrostimulation, and more.
In this way, nurse fetish is quite a common crossover fetish.
There is hardly a more popular profession in porn than that of a nurse, and women (and men) of this profession are featured in many porn movies.
Statistics about nurse fetishes in porn
The last time Pornhub conducted an analysis about the popularity of different professions on its website was in 2014, when the statistics showed that “teacher” was the most searched profession, closely followed by “babysitter”. Nurses were third on the list.
However, a 2013 Pornhub poll also found that Pornhub viewers think a “Naughty Nurse” costume is the third hottest costume a woman can wear.
With 14% of the vote, the medical profession once again landed in second place, but this time ahead of “schoolgirl” (24%) and a “naughty Disney princess” (19%).
