Nothing to Worry About
Recently I've been doing some writing for a blog at bdsmlr. Initially it was just short blurbs and maybe anecdotes inspired by a particular image, but I've also done some long form stories. This is one that tends to get a lot of positive feedback so I thought I'd share it here as well.
Katie's mom saw that she was nearly all grown up and was concerned for her. She had assumed that when the time came for her first pelvic exam that her pediatrician would bring it up. But he never did. Now, Katie was about to head off to college, and her mom wasn't about to let her go off into the world without knowing how to take care of her feminine health properly!
She wasn't happy about it, but Katie knew that when her mom laid down the law there was no arguing. The ultimatum had been presented -- a gynecologist appointment with all the bells and whistles, or -- and here, her mom really thought she was going too easy on her -- a last visit to her pediatrician including a look "down below" just to make sure everything was ship shape for becoming a college girl.
Nope -- didn't need no gynecologist, thought Katie, we'll just put that little nightmare off just as long as possible. Besides, she had a sweet pediatrician. He was older and she didn't think he'd dare go poking around in her business too much, that would just be inappropriate! Wouldn't it? For an older man to go poking around in a girl's private parts? Even ... if he was a doctor?
It'll be fine, her mom said, as Katie started getting nervous as the date approached. "You'll be fine! I'm sure the doctor will be very gentle and it'll be over and you'll be back home before you know it!" she reassured Katie. "There's nothing at all to worry about!" Nothing at all, Katie wondered?
Well, she was about to find out.
