Dr Shaw knocked on the exam room door and waited for a few seconds before going inside.

“Hi there!” She greeted the couple, “My name is Dr Shaw, nice to meet you both.” She shook their hands as they introduced themselves as Alex and Emma. “And what brings you in today?”

Alex looked at Emma, who remained silent, so decided to answer for her. “She’s been having some pain… During sex.”

“Ok Emma, we can have a look at what might be causing that today. If it’s ok, I’ll ask Alex to step out of the room to give us some privacy-“

“Oh no, I want him to stay.” Emma stated, gripping his thigh from the chair next to him.

The doctor grabbed a chart and started making notes. “That’s absolutely fine Emma, it can be helpful to have someone to support you if you get uncomfortable. We’ll start off with a few questions.”

The doctor asked all of the normal questions, date of birth, medications, family history.

“Emma we don’t have a medical history for you here, did you have a different doctor before? When was your last check up?”

“Oh um” Emma mumbled “it’s been a while, I don’t really remember how long. Maybe 7 years, when I turned 18.”

“Ok, and this pain you’ve been experiencing, can you describe it? Is it sharp? Or an ache? How long does it last?”

“I guess a bit of both, it starts during sex and goes away a little after we stop.” Her eyes stayed fixed on the table, not looking at the doctor sitting behind it.

“And what kind of sex causes this pain?… Vaginal, anal, oral?”

The three sat in silence for a minute before Alex answers. “Vaginal, we’ve only done anal once. And she doesn’t say it hurts if I’m using my tongue or fingers, only when I’m.. in deep?”

The description made Emma turn bright pink, in sharp contrast to her blonde hair. “Ok Emma, we can start by getting an idea of your overall health, since you haven’t been to the doctors in a while.” Dr shaw stood up as she was speaking, opening a drawer and pulling something out.

“Take off your clothes and put this gown on, and I’ll have my nurse come in and take your vitals in a few minutes. Sound ok?” Emma nodded at the doctor, who smiled, grabbed the chart, and left the couple in the room.

“That was so embarrassing! You gave so many details about our sex life to a random doctor!” Emma scolded.

“She’s not random, she’s here to help. She can’t help if she doesn’t know what’s wrong. Plus, you don’t have a regular doctor so we had to find a new one.” Alex took the gown and put it on the exam table, making the paper crinkle as Emma removed her shoes.

“Stop looking!” Emma snapped and she took her jeans off and put them on the chair. Her panties and bra matched today, she has chosen nice baby blue ones in case the doctor would see.

“Oh come on, I’ve seen it before!” Alex gave a big goofy smile as she out the gown on, turning so he could tie it.

A knock on the door made Emma quickly turn so her back was to the wall, covering the gaps left by the large opening. Alex, as relaxed as ever, just called “Come in!”
