I noticed this entire forum has difficulty staying on topic.

did you have your hand wrapped round his manlyness? I mean, you do actually know what a pelvic exam entails don't you? lol

.... Seriously .. there's a difference between a bed bath and a pelvic exam.

I don't recall ever having a male nurse go near a female patient for a bed bath or urination, but I myself have had female nurses bed bath me. I didn't get excited.

But if one was giving me a 'special exam', who knows?

What happens during a bed bath? Sounds a little weird! What do they do?

Honestly, a pelvic exam is about the least exciting thing I can possibly think of.

Anyhow, in my experience, women doctors have been very...rude. Obviously that's not how all of them are, just the handful I've seen. And I therefore see male doctors.

Also, both times I was pregnant, female doctors and nurses treated my husband very badly every time he attended an appointment with me. That makes no sense; it's a GOOD thing for an expecting father to be interested in how the baby is developing, so why with the attitude towards him just for being there?

Anyway. I see male doctors, and my husband is fine with it. I guess if that ever changed, and he asked me to switch doctors, I probably would.

So, if a husband feels uncomfortable about it, why shouldn't his wife, on appointment, if there is a qualified female available (which there is 90% of the time in the Uk and US), ask for a female?

Is that unfair of him?

90%? Where did you pull that one from? If the wife does not feel uncomfortable then why should the husband force the issue? I can tell you that if I had to go for an exam right now and I could either have my GP who is a male or a female (who could btw, be a lesbian) that I have never met then I would feel an awful lot more comfortable with my Dr whom I trust. Wouldn't it be wrong of my husband to ask me to go to someone who I do not know and trust to preform an already unpleasant examination just because HE feels a bit funny about it?

I don't praticularly care if someone I'm with goes to see a male doctor, as I've said above, right at the start of the thread.

But when people start getting offended I don't get it.

The question isn't so much about the exam, it's about how the couple listen to each other's feelings.

If I DID feel offended by my girlfiend/wife going for one with a male, I'd expect her (hopefully if I've chosen a decent woman), to care enough to ask for a female examiner.

Depends whether you think a man shoving his hand where only your husband's meant to is ok or not I suppose. No need to get angry.

A bed bath is simply a way of keeping the patient clean while they are unable to mobilise to a shower or bath. Urine is the number 1 cause of bed sores so ALL areas are cleaned thoroughly.

Look at it this angle;


If I had a condition that required me to go and get plenty of examinations on my special area, and I had a female doctor, and my girlfriend/wife said 'Look, it makes me feel kind uncomfortable to know another woman sees you like that',

I'd say 'No problem love, I'll ask for a man'.

it would be the most uncomfortable thing, but I'd feel better knowing SHE feels better about it all.

Eh yes. Do you keeps yours on in the bath or shower? It is an exchange for a bath or shower.

Well, I wouldn't allow it. There is no need for any patient to have their underwear removed for a bed bath. That is just ridiculous.
