Subject: Re: People who get upset about opposite gender care givers Author: Mike12 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 21:23:47 10/14/09 Wed In reply to: Vicki 's message, "People who get upset about opposite gender care givers" on 15:15:12 10/12/09 Mon I knew the second I read this that a certain two initial someone would hop all over this and start denouncing and throwing names about. I do not think it is possible to completely remove sexuality from say, a physical exam. Person A disrobes for Person B, who then starts manipulating Person A's privates. Anyone who says there isn't some physical sensations/interest/curiosity/arousal happening here is clearly deluding themselves. Granted that's not WHY patients are there, but these things are in our minds anyway. But when anyone on these boards admits even the slightest hint of pleasure from this close contact, however unintended, as did Vicki, guys like RK come busting in to break up the party, on some kind of witch hunt. Amusing. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Of Course There Can Be A "Frisson", But That's OK Author: Carolyn [Edit] Date Posted: 14:08:32 10/15/09 Thu As Vicki said, there can sometimes be a "frisson" during health care, both on the part of the patient and the person providing the health care. After all, both are human. The point is that neither can control the emotions that may arise, but as long as neither party acts on the "frisson" then it is acceptable. It is the behavior of both people that matters, not the feelings that may develop in the process. When either person takes steps to act on the feelings, then we have at least an unethical situation, and in some cases an illegal situation. To expect a "frisson" to never occur at all is to expect the impossible.
