Mitchell's Medical Erotica continued

Today's picture in our series exploring Medical Erotica is a bit of a golden oldie which illustrates the power of touching. In Mitchell's Clinic the patient has little choice but to allow Doctors and other staff to touch his body if they wish to do so. His near-nudity makes him acutely aware that, potentially, no crevice is out of bounds.

Restraint of the patient is unneccessary - though the cropping of this picture allows us to fantasise about that possibility if we wish to. His remaining clothing is no impediment to the erotic impact of the image. Nor is the use of instuments instead of hands.

The observer can see that this particular examination is not a standard medical procedure - we have a 'mitchmen' situation here! The typical male patient at the S+M Clinic is unfamiliar with medical procedures and he does not realise yet that the doctor's interest in his body is personal. He wonders anxiously where the doctor is going to touch him next. At the same time he struggles to blank out any enjoyment of the intimacy of the touch, fearful that his organ will react and betray him.
