Have you ever gone to a male OBGYN?

Has anyone ever gone to a male OBGYN? If so do you prefer a male or female and why?

I need to see an OBGYN quickly, and the only one at the office who is available in the next several weeks is a older guy. I'm not really sure I'm comfortable having a guy do my exam, even if he is older. Any input would be greatly appreciated. less

I can assure you, being in the industry of medical examinations myself.

Being or getting aroused is the lowest priority of your day whilst at work.

My colleagues and and I have discussed this sort of topic to death.

After assisting or performing 10-14+ examinations per day 5 days a week, close to 42 weeks of the year (because doctors make sure they have their holidays).

You are very desensitised to the whole naked and intimate parts of the human body be it the same sex or the opposite gender to yourself.

You go from describing a woman (or guy) as hot, young and sexy to identifying them as what they actually are, client ABC-1234, another mid-20's with fears they may have contracted genital warts.

Nothing surprises a trained practitioner. Surprises are very bad in nursing and we are trained to make sure we recognise the facts.

Seek experienced OBGYN's be it male or female, then allow THEM to make YOU feel comfortable. Neglecting experience for the sake of comfort is a risk a lot of people make these days. So please don't. But that's my point of view. less

Like I said I wasn't concerned with what they may think or any sexual arousal. I'm simply not sure even after having seen said doctor what I personally think of having a male OBGYN. That's a matter of personal preference and has nothing to do with how experienced or good the doctor is. less

I've had both a female and male OBGYN, and I'm pretty young. (Perks of having endometriosis.)

Both doctors were wonderful, but I eventually chose a different physician when my female doctor couldn't see me for 6 months when I called and asked if she would insert an IUD for me!

The male doctor I saw was extremely professional, specializing in contraceptive research from OHSU. Also, he was the spitting image of Bill Nye the Science Guy. Same nose, head shape, haircut, and even little bow tie. It was hilarious! Otherwise, he was very intelligent, and did not make me feel uncomfortable even with the two interns I allowed into the room to watch the procedure.
But, otherwise the preference is very personal. Especially if someone is easily intimidated by men. Just know, that at any time during the procedure you can tell them to stop- hands off. Or even request a nurse to be present. less

I apologise if what I am about to put forth sounds antagonistic but I am commenting on your specific statement. Being a MALE Nurse this topic affects me almost daily as individuals generally prefer to be dealt with by the same gender especially when dealing with intimate areas.

Question.

You would rather have an inexperienced or lesser experienced doctor/specialist over someone with perhaps better qualifications, skills and understanding of their medical service? less

I don't not believe you actually read my posts to which you commented on. First it could be a matter of both a male and female doctor have the exact same experience or you have no knowledge of either's experience other than they work at the doctor's office/hospital you visit. Second it has nothing to do with sexual arousal or interest. Third it is honestly a matter of personal preference - some people are more emotionally comfortable with a member of one sex or another doing their internal exams. Therefore from a standpoint of my posts, your question is irrelevant. less

Actually I did read your posts. My question is in specific relation to your comment: "That's a matter of personal preference and has nothing to do with how experienced or good the doctor is."

I'm not trying to push or be antagonistic with this and I will vacate this thread should you desire, but this sort of stuff cuts me hard as it literately is my job area. The sexual arousal aspect never had anything to do with it nor the comfort factor. Just your comment of personal preference over experience.

Therefore my question still stands:

Hetero guy here. This is very interesting...have had this discussion with my wife several times. Male DR examining female patient or vise-versa, regarding private parts...

I had an interesting experience 6 months ago. Went to a dermatologist for an upper thigh, lower abdomen rash. Strangely, none of it was on my unit. Thought I was going to see a male DR. Well, male DR called in sick that day and only other DR available was a woman - pretty hot I might add (looked about 40, like pornstar Kendra Lust!). Anyway, I had removed all clothing and only had a smock on when she entered the room. During the exam, she got a complete unobstructed view of my unit, which was getting harder and bigger as we progressed. How could I help it? I tried like hell to focus on my rash problem and the exam at hand, but it got more and more difficult to do so as the exam progressed. I could tell she was trying to get through the exam as swiftly as possible with no issues, so I know she took notice of my "issue". Once, she chucked slightly and said, "Let's just try to focus on your problem, shall we?" When the exam ended I was stunned...sat in the chair for at least 5 minutes I guess before leaving. Thank god it ended when it did, because I started pre-cumming a minute after she left the room! A million thoughts went through my mind for the rest of that day. Needless to say I took care of myself two times later that day!!!

So that was the reverse case, but...

As a hetero guy speaking here, I just don't know how its possible for a hetero male OBGYN to not get his rocks off while examining a female patient (assuming she is at least somewhat attractive). And what if she is really hot? Think about that...shaved hoohah spread eagle right in front of you, and you get to stick things/fingers inside her??? These guys should be paid Bill Gates salaries because I don't know how its possible to perform a professional exam under those conditions.

Not sure if these comments may sway the ladies one way or another but consider this: There is no way 100% of all male OBGYNs could examine you without getting their rocks off. Sorry, we are guys - and you are gals. We are designed to get turned on by the opposite sex. I may not be in the majority on this one but I know there are plenty of guys who would agree with me on this, on this so please don't cast me out to be some wacko pervert. Just telling it like it is.

BTW, my wife sees a female OBGYN - always has since early 20s. But I'm still holding out for the lesbian OBGYN/patient encounter

An RN I know very well told me they were taught to slap an erection if the guy was up to no good. I will validate that also, she told me this maybe 20 yrs ago. Now days that's prob cause for a lawsuit.

She also told me a professional see's what they see esp a male OBGYN all day long 4 days a week. Same with a female professional's seeing p-p's." Seen one seen them all."

"Some bigger some smaller, but all of them wrinkled"
Her exact words less
