I have my first stething session soon. Any advice?

Hey there guys.

I have a friend on the internet, who i have a very close relationship to. We are not in love, just very close. We share all of our secrets and of course, i told him also about me being a cardiophile. He didn't mind it and actually found a sense of cuteness in it. Thing is, he is a bit afraid of doctors because of bad experience.

Now, i asked him if he wants to spend Christmas with me and fly over to me (he lives in Ireland BTW) he said he would love too. And i also ask if we maybe could have an stething session, which he was also was okay with.

Thing is now though, while i am very excited that i have my first stething session, i am not completly sure how i should behave myself. I don't want to make him feel uncomfortable and act like a strict doctor or anything. I want to make this session as comfortable as possible.

Do you guys have any word of advice for me? I would really appreciate it. 😃

Maybe start by asking your friend if he would like to see your stethoscope, and let him have a listen first, perhaps to his own heart and then yours.

Try a blindfold on the stethee. I found it very helpful in inhibition freeing because 1.) it wasn't clinical so that awkwardness was eliminated but 2.) it made it so so one felt like they were being watched or need to perform. Plus, hearing gets real good when you can't use your eyes.

Listening to each others hearts is something we should do more often---might heal the Earth faster...

Happy auscultating!
