Do you feel more exposed beiing barefoot on the gyno chair?

Dear Ladies. Do you feel more embarrassed or more exposed beiing barefoot on the gyno chair?

I feel a little bit more exposed being barefoot in pretty much any scenario, although I often like to be barefoot if it’s appropriate or at least wear shoes where you can see most of my feet. It adds a little bit of intimacy in the right situations, and a little bit of vulnerability in others. Or it can just make you feel sexy if you’re in the right mood and your toes are done and your skin is well taken care of.

I'm not sure I ever have been. I guess I dress with that in mind, so I'm always wearing socks.

It feels too weird keeping my socks on with everything else off, so I’ve never tried it with them still on to compare.

I’m worried more than they will smell than how much they are exposed. I try to get pedicure in the days leading up. Because I wasn’t to feel good. If someone is going to see me like that I want to feel confident.

But seriously they are about ready to pry me open and look at my cervix. I forget about my feet entirely once they speculum comes out.

I always thought it was very sexy when my wife keeps her strappy sandles on during the exam!

A reality show I watch featured a Pap smear scene a few years ago. And the girl put her shoes back on before getting in the stirrups. It had never even occurred to me you could do that.

Then I got disgusted thinking about how dirty shoes are. That seems way worse than bare feet, right?

@Amanda_O This is so weird indeed.

I’ve always had my socks on for a pelvic exam. I am not sure if it would make a difference for me or not. Maybe next time I’ll have to try it!

It's true. When I take off my socks, I feel more exposed. And I don't know what it's related to.
