Vintage Erotic Medical Exam

One of the most wonderful things about vintage erotica is that it’s often impossible to describe in words without offending someone. For instance, if I describe this as two women “playing doctor” I might be accused of infantalizing them and reinforcing sexist stereotypes of male-only professionalism. Likewise if I go with the “student nurses” tag that’s attached to various fragments of this set in places on the internet. However if I go the other way and describe this as an erotic medical exam, I’ll offend medical people who’ll huff that this sort of play violates all medical ethics, can never happen, and should never be ascribed to purported professionals. See? I cannot escape all the winning!

Nonetheless I was delighted to discover this set of sixteen vintage “doctor and patient” erotic photos. The participants are clearly delighted to be on camera, the play is tame to the point of innocence, and really all it needs is kittens and puppies to be any more perfect. I’m guessing that at some point the “Doctor” found out that the “Patient” has been ignoring doctor’s orders (smoking? unsafe sex?) because the medical exam eventually concludes with a mild spanking scene…

Sadly the collection as I found it was in the form of tiny scans (many no more than about 200 pixels wide) from the 20th-century “slow modems” era. I’ve put many Patreon-enabled hours (hint hint) into reverse image searches to try and expand the “10/P” collection (“10/P” being the identifying mark placed on the negatives or perhaps the prints by the photographer and/or publisher). I’ve also worked hard to find larger, higher-quality scans. In the end these searchers were, inevitably, only partially successful. The photos you see here are the best results I could assemble for you: lightly cleaned up, cropped as necessary and where practical, and regularized to 320 and 512 pixel sizes. If anybody out there has more images from this set, or larger cleaner scans of these images, please get in touch!

For purists, each photo appearing here is linked to the unaltered version from which I “regularized” it. Because I had to choose between multiple different source scans of the same photo in some cases — sometimes using a larger scan with less visual detail or clarity — I’ve assembled a zip set of all the originals and made it available to my Patreon patrons. (I figure that anybody who shares this level of obsessive interest in photographic provenance with me would have to be among my patrons, right? Right?)

“Your shoulder sounds good, now let’s see what kind of noises your boobs are making.”

“Doctor, are you hearing yourself?”

“Clearly this medical exam can go no further until we both shuck these heavy skirts off.”

“Could not hear your boob properly with my dress on, let’s try again!”

“Now bend over! I can’t hear your lungs if the photographer can’t see your pretty bottom, dear.”

“All right, time to check you for liver and kidney noises…”

“Well, doctor, what do you think? Have I convinced you yet that I’m younger and prettier and healthier than you?”

“Hmmm, we’ll see, this medical exam is not over yet. I need to look down your throat and check you for … uh, cold sores, yeah, cold sores.”

“Hey, what’s this I see? Pubic hairs? The same color as my husband has? And you think it’s funny to laugh right into the bell of my stethoscope? Why, I ought to slap your tits so hard they fall off!”

“I’ll make you pay, you little shameless hussy!”

“Doctor, I don’t have to put up with this from you! Because I have heeded the wise words of John Willie and you have not! So you’d better put down that stethoscope. Don’t worry, you’ll be able to hear what I’m about to do to you just fine without it!”

Folks, I hope you enjoyed this image set. The curation effort at this level of detail literally consumed an entire corporate-style full-length work day. This is the sort of work I’d like to do all the time, but it’s simply not possible; most days, I have to do too many other things to pay the bills. If you would like to see more work like this, please consider supporting my Patreon. No pledge is too small to be helpful!
