The effects of gua sha, more commonly known as ‘coining’, is a traditional Chinese treatment where a massage is given using an oiled coin. According to Chinese med­ical prac­ti­tion­ers, the inter­nal tox­ins in the blood are released and cir­cu­la­tion is improved.

For admirers and advocates of medical fetishism in all its varied forms. From Romain Slocombe's broken dolls to J.G. Ballards exhibitions of atrocities (and everything in between), this tumblr exists as a virtual safehouse for those of us who embrace the erotic art of the accident... and, hopefully, a resource for those who've fallen victim to med feti's countless misconceptions.

RE: USER PHOTOGRAPHS/REBLOGS. If we've reblogged one of your photos and you'd rather we hadn't, please don't hesitate to send us a message and we'll take it down as soon as we can. Conversely, we encourage anyone and everyone out there: Please don't be turned off from our site by the use of the word 'fetish.' We're not here to exploit - we're here to celebrate, embrace and study. Love your scars, your bruises, your broken limbs... They're nothing to be ashamed of.

Please don't expect a collection of PVC-clad nurses and dime-a-dozen pornographic stills. You won't find any of that here. Also, none of the images posted here belong to our members unless otherwise specified. ♥ ♥ ♥
