I don't have a problem with it at all. I've seen female doctors, have had female nurses care for me in the hospital. Sorry, I just don't see it.
Are you jealous in other areas of your marriage?

Does not bother me at all. My Wife has a Male OB/GYN and I have no issues with it. What is it that bothers about a male doctor. You think he is fondling your wife? or maybe that you wife wants to cheat?
Either way it seems that maybe you either have a trust issue or and insecurity issue.

Okay, unlike the harsh repsonses you've received so far, I understand where you're coming from. I also have the natural instinct to protect and secure my wife away from any men seeing her in that way. If that's "insecurity", then it sounds like one of the other answerers above me has bought into psychobable crap.
I used to have a problem with it as you, but there are tons of female gyny doctors to choose from. If it has to be a man for some reason, just be in there with her while he examines her. And know that most are reputable, and there's no problem. Believe it, that if he did something weird, your wife would tell you.

You may have a tad bit of a problem here. Of course only if your wife feels this is a problem.
I am a women and hate male doctors, I will never get undressed without Mr. there with me. I realize doctors see a lot of people and they do not see anything sexual about it but it makes me feel uncomfy. Last time I had to show a bruise I have had for months now to the doc I had to pull my pants down to show him and the doctor wasn't even going to shut the door! Do not think so lol! Mr. said what kind of doctor is he lol!

OBGYN's both male and female see that EVERY day. They do not get any perverted sexual instincts when working because it's their livelyhood and they can lose their medical licence over any stupidity like what you're afraid of.
Does it turn you on sexually if a woman OBGYN treats your wife?
If so, I think the nature of your question is clear.

Then you have a problem with insecurity. They are professionals personnel and their own intention is to heal. They are not viewing your wife on a sexual basis. hell, even if they did, who cares. You're the one she picked.
Get over it.

You are certainly in the minority. Remember it is her body, not yours, if anyone should have any problems with it, it should be her. If she doesn't mind, then get over it.

It doesn't bother me at all. I just hope that it doesn't make him sick to his stomach.
