Boyfriend of a Nursing Student

Published

I'm in a very committed relationship with a nursing student at a different school about a half an hour from me. We've been dating for a little over a year and both agree that marriage is in or future, I'm extremely proud of her for her career choice and try everything to be as supportive as I can from a distance but for the past few weeks I can't get one thing off my mind. I've seen the threads about a boyfriend being upset that his girlfriend has to touch or see another man's member among other things and that isn't what this is about, at first that thought and picture really bothered me but at this point I'm honestly over that and don't really care about it, I understand it's part of the job and I'm not concerned. I'm also not worried about her being turned on by inserting a catheter or giving a bed bath but the one thing that bothers me is how a nurse can have any interest in seeing her significant other naked after seeing several men naked that day at work, I know they are "just body parts" on patients but is it really different when it's your boyfriend or husband's? I know this question will probably seem dumb to everyone on here but as a management major who has no experience in the medical field it's hard for me to imagine that she won't eventually become desensitized to the male body and anatomy and develop the "seen one, seen them all" mentality. That would just really be hard because I know the way I look at her body and like to think that it goes both ways and I would just hate to lose that. Any advice would be appreciated, if you want to tell me how immature it is or to get over it then save your time, I realize it's small and probably largely unreasonable but I'm just looking to see how other couples or husbands have dealt with this if they've had the same problem or if it really isn't a problem then I would like to hear that too. Thanks in advance

Cellulitis of the member and scrotum reminds me of those spring rolls where it's translucent and can kind of see inside. Herpes member will scar you for the rest of your life. Pustules with creamy white discharge, etc. If any person can get turned on by seeing those, they need a psych consult.

And now I'm thinking I'm going to be viewing my linguini Alfredo and take-out spring rolls a LEETLE differently today.... Just how the hell did you know what's in my lunchbox ?? :bag:

Can you imagine if we walked around in these shirts? Most people would think we were crazy, but then once in a blue moon you would see it and know the person was on AN.

I was also remembering a clinical instructor that told our group, "I've seen more memberes than a two-dollar hooker!" ROFL....she killed me.

And I use that one still, to this day :)

First of all, I have to agree with all the kudos to Farawyn. But that's where I have to part ways with the rest of y'all. There is some BAD advice for OP on this thread. His GF is deff going to start looking at other guys (and gals) with a bit more lust in her eyes. There's NO way a new nurse is going to see a big, long vein and not want to stick that thing! Hopefully OP has some truly magnificent veins.

Don't worry about it! She is probably thinking about Brad Pitt, or Christian Grey, not a 300 pound 70 year old CHF patient.
