if there is nothing sexual about seeing a male gyno, then why do women get so offended at my questions?

Question

everyone says that there is nothing sexual about seeing the male gyno, but i think there is. otherwise why do women get fixed up just to go see the doctor? there is enough perfume in the office to choke a horse! i understand that you need to be clean, but come on, looks like they are going on a date or something. also, why would a young man(because all doctors were young when they started at school for this) choose to get into this field? i asked a simple question on another post that stirred up a lot of hostile responses, so i posted another sarcastic question in response about the causal sex thing. if it is no big deal, then why get so upset at me for talking about how this makes me feel? and as for a female uroligist or something the exam for a man is usually more like a few seconds verses the 10 minutes you have your legs spread out(even longer if you are in labour), and moreover i have never been examined by a female doctor. i would say less than 1% of men has a female doc.

Answer 1

YOU have got a problem,dude. Women do not get dressed up to see the gyno, they just get dressed. The Gyno, whether male or female does this all day, year after year blah, blah and truly thinks nothing of it. Women choose their Dr. based on experience and comfort level. The testing that happens may save our lives or the lives of our baby and has nothing to do with sex or sexuality (except the conception of a baby), which the attending physician has nothing to do with.
i.e. baby daddy does not equal baby doctor lol!
You have no right to feel anything about our choice of doctor, it is none of your damn business and you really need to get a life and focus on something else.
If you rule out 50% of the physician population based on sex, you had better hope to god that you never get ill! lol what an a**

Answer 2

I've had 6 kids, and each one was delivered by a male gyno. Not by chose but that is how the on call roster worked for me. I personally see a female gyno and the reason is I feel she can understand what I am feeling alot better than a male could. Same token for you as a male seeing a male urologist. He has a better understanding of what is going on with you than a female. I don't get all dolled up and never have, I do make sure that all my body is cleaned. I mean your not going there to have tea or anything..To me it's not any different than going to see my dentist who is a male.... Strange how some people respond.

Answer 3

I'll assume you think going to the ob/gyn has sexual connotations because you just don't know what all is involved in an exam. I personally dress nice when I see ANY doc because I'm already self-conscious enough having a stranger get as up close and personal as a doc does. Looking nice is (for me) a way of avoiding embarrassment. I would be horrified if my doc had to examine my most personal of body parts and I hadn't just freshly showered! As for male ob/gyn's, I don't care either way. I've actually had male docs be a lot gentler than women. These men study to be ob/gyns because they're fascinated by the female reproductive system. I don't think it's for sexual reasons at all. And anyway, why would a guy go through 6+ years of med school and work as hard as they have to just to get their jollies looking at vaginas all day? If that's all they want, seems like a lot of work for something they could achieve by just becoming a DJ at a nude bar.

Answer 4

Most women get dressed up because it makes them feel good about theirself not for a gyno visit...Also regardless of the time frame if you were to go to a female doctor (like my husband has) then its the same...They still grope on you! If you feel offended then maybe you should evaluate the question...There is nothing plesant about a strange man felling your insides...ECSPECIALLY IF YOU ARE IN LABOR. I am sur ealot of woman would gladly trade places with you...A few seconds versus 10 minutes with any doctor sounds great! I also answered your first question and I mentioned this there too...Sorry you were offended but so were the women that have to go through tjese exams...

Answer 5

Well I am a female and I can only speak for myself.
I do wear make-up just about everywhere. Just like this past weekend I went to the dentist (female) and had some bloody work done and I did then.
My "gyno" who is also a woman I wear make-up to those appointments as well.
So, for myself, I know there is nothing sexual, but I do look to look nice at all times. Af irst impression lasts a lifetime.
Also, I was told they have a pretty low sex drive, so if they did go to school for preverted reasons, the laugh is on them huh!

Answer 6

Women do the clean up ritual weather or not the doc. is male of female it is about feeling like they smell somewhere else and they usually do this for any all doc.'s not just the obgyn, young men don't enter this field fight away by the time they decide to focus their studies in one area of men school they are already near 30 and we wont be offended if you try not to offend you said yourself that the Q was sarcastic.

Answer 7

i have had three different gynocologists in my life, the first was a woman the second a man and my current is a woman. it was different but i wouldn't say it was "uncomfortable". i frequently get massages because of unusual amounts of tension i hold in my back and shoulders and i have been massaged by some men (three different ones actually) and the first time i had that experience it was VERY weird and somewhat uncomfortable, since no man ever massages me ever except my husband but it got less weird the second time etc. it's a job. i guess i may be more open minded because my husband is a paramedic and has to do medical work on women often and i have heard people at various times express discomfort and weirdness at a male having to remove their clothes (like at a car wreck or something) it's a job, it's not sexual... it's a job.

Answer 8

I can't believe I am even responding to this question....that said, these "visits" that we must go to are anything but pleasant. Look up speculum! And our visits actually are about 5 minutes, with 3 of those minutes spent having the cold metal speculum ripping our vag*nas open.
Did you happen to look around that waiting room? Doctors see all types of women. Young and old. Why do women go to the gyno? Everything from HIV to herpes, routine exams and pregnancy. Looking at anatomy from a medical perspective is not hot. That is some stupid idea that men who are not doctors have. Once you've looked at a vag*na crusted over with puss oozing sores - the sexuality is gone.
Women dress up to go to most appointments, even the dentist. It doesn't mean they want a date. It means they want to look their best. This is especially true when going to the doctor or to court for that matter.
And the reason people respond to your questions with hostility is because it's stupid and asked with the mentality of a 13 year old boy.

Answer 9

I wasn't going to dignify this question with an answer but I can't resist. You are showing you immaturity. You see there is nothing sexual about labor and a gyno exam. AT one point you say we are harassing you about your feelings then you say you are being sarcastic. You need to do some research regarding these exams. I won't go into details here because you just plain don't understand.

Answer 10

1) Women get dressed for other women or themselves. They aren't getting dressed up for the Doctor- they're getting dressed up because they want to look nice.
2) Who knows why Doctors pick this specialty. I guess it's the same reason they go into Plastic Surgery or Pediatrics...it interests them.
3) There are more male doctors then female doctors and if a doctor is in your insurance network and he or she is good, then you go to them regardless of there gender.

I've had both male and female doctors and all I know is if I'm in any sort of pain, I don't care WHAT gender they are as long as they take it away.
