Ladies - Do you like the Feeling of the External Exam?

Yes! I enjoy the feeling of the external exam from my primary care doctor during my annual physical. As soon as my underwear slides down to my ankles I feel exposed, and also get a little red in the face. Before anything Im in the frog leg position for 30 seconds while he just looks. After he finishes glancing he looks throughout my pubic hair (at my last physical I wasn’t trimmed) separating it in each area until hes down to my lips. Then he spreads my labia pretty wide and palpates my inner labia, then he will move down to the vagina and touch the outside of it. I find this exam way more intimate and embarrassing than my gyn exam.

The first contact and being spread open is enough to almost make me climax

Is it jealousy or envy? Which would be the correct word?

I love the physical and psychological feeling of having my labia parted by the doctor. It's so exposing but so exciting to know I'm being looked at while I'm spread open.

I don’t know what’s hotter for me, the physical or psychological feelings. Having my labia spread and someone being able to examine my clit, urethra, vagina, and anus is so arousing to me.

I have never paid much attention to the first contact. It occurs to me that I probably should.

I think that, when I am in position, I must open up pretty freely because I have never noticed any extra manual movement on the MD or NP’s part to spread my labia.

All that being said, when that first gloved finger is in the introitus, THAT I feel. THAT is like kick-off at the football game, and from then on, my senses are tingling….

I’ve been thinking a lot about external exams at a place other than the gynecologist. So for todays recap we take it all the way back umpteen years ago to when I was 18. I had recently discovered that I loved the doctors touch. I looked forward to getting my annual physical more than virtually anything.

I’m laying on my back clad in nothing but my undies and the doctor is pushing on my tummy. Getting closer and closer to the waist band.

I get nervous. I know it’s coming. She is going to see and touch me down there. There is nothing I can do to stop it. And nothing I can do to stop these feelings that cause so much internal conflict.

“Next I’m going to do a genital exam. That means I need to check down there. Can you pull your undies down?”

I see her snap on a glove. I hook my thumbs in my waist band and pull my panties over my rear and to my knees.

Immediately my mind goes to- “is she going to judge me for shaving? Can she tell I masturbated 10 times last night thinking about today. Please please please say you can’t tell I’m turned on. “

“Part your legs. Just taking a look”

My head is on a paper cover pillow. I look down. I see her hand about to touch me. I’d hate to know what my heart rate was. Those white gloves inching closer and closer.

“I’m going to touch you now”

I felt an instance sense of relief. I have no idea why. My nerves lessened. And I just decided to enjoy the ride. And I kinda forgot what was happening. I got distracted. Maybe I have ADHD? Oo Squirrel!

She spread me. I looked down at her hand. And then over. I see my undies at my knees. I see my feet sticking up.

“Any plans for this summer?”

“Yeah. We are going to go the beach ugh”. She like touched my labia.

“Just relax”

My attention again went to my feet. Damn the pedicure I got still looks good. What is that? Damn it is that a chip in the paint. When the fuck did that happen?”

“Just a little spread here”

I looked at her hand again. It was weird at that point to see someone else touching me there.

And I swear she like put her finger in maybe an inch and touched my urethra? Like it felt like I had to pee. I dunno maybe I made that up.

Then her hand pulled back. I had a sense of relief. I tried to make a note of everything she’d done so I could play it over again in my head. I was so ready to get out of there. I went to pull up my panties. Alone time can’t come soon enough.

Anyway. To answer your question I love the external exam. It’s amazing how what was maybe a minute of my day absolutely made my year.

Love those first few moments of exposure when the doctor lifts the sheet and I feel the cool air hit my intimate parts as he first begins his inspection. It always starts with a look, and then he palpates my labia while gently spreading things around. Then he says ‘just a check here’ before retracting my clitoral hood, then he parts my labia and looks at my opening for a few moments palpating the glands and then ‘milking’ the urethral opening.

My doctors have just done visuals of the external. Once I spread the legs and expose my self I only se the doctor looking. Never pulled back the hood of the clit or felt my labia.

@Amanda_O and @Kendz You are so lucky! I wish I could get my new doctor to be as thorough with my male parts. She seems to be afraid to touch me or even LOOK at anything in my crotch area. I think she's a victim of the don't look, don't touch attitude that seemed to become prevalent after I grew up. She's about the same toward my wife too. Our old male doctor of 30 years always had me naked for the whole half hour of our encounter and when my wife's GYN retired he did the same for her but she got a gown. I didn't think he had gowns until I asked my wife how her physicals went.

You got your hood lifted to visualize your clit, no one has EVER retracted my foreskin in the 50+ years I've been getting physicals. I take that back, the NP I had at the VA did skin it back and milked it down at my first physical with her. I guess because I didn't mind being exposed to her and with my permission she also used me as a training aid when she had a trainee or two. So I got skewered and skun back several times by students, with her watching. Alas, she retired and I never made a good connection with the MD who replaced her. She made me feel she didn't want me coming up there to the VA so after 4 years of trying to change her attitude I quit going.

One of the best threads yet omg!

I relate to so much of this… just reading “spread my labia” makes me tense up… oh my, being so exposed, so embarrassing but So Good. 😳

Laying down alone is exciting for me, especially depending on draping. I've had external exams where there's a lot more exposure, or they're more detailed and therefore maybe a tad longer.

But yes, being told to assume a more revealing position for the examiner, then the verbal warning, usually while using clinical terminology, is very exciting for me. "You're going to feel me open your outer labia" was probably the best verbal prompt I've heard over the years, from a couple different providers.

Like many of the ladies in this lovely thread, I also enjoy the anticipation. On its own, even before any touching occurs, it's the mere thought of what will happen that is exciting.

That being said, I've only ever had females in real exams and I also never knew how arousing exams could be. I can imagine, had I had male doctors before, I mightve realized the excitement of exams sooner. I will say that anticipating the touch, even from the female doctors checking my vagina, that I could not help but feel some arousal; I obviously ignored that arousal as I was fighting with my own internal conflicts of what I considered to be the norm and what was taboo, at that time. Going forward, I know I will be paying more special attention to my true feelings during a real exam, starting from the anticipation, to the initial touch, and all the through the exam. 😉

For play exams, of course I'm excited and aroused and nervous, anticipating how this exam will play out. I enjoy and relish in the doctor’s touch. If the synergy is great, it makes for an even better experience. I also hold the same sentiments with one of the member's comments about his wife's feelings: I can stay horny for days after the exam, thinking about the little details, like the touching or caressing, that will play over and over in my head.

My doctor verbally starts with "You'll feel my hand touching your leg and then I'll be examining you externally first. " then a touch on the inner thigh before she parts my labia and examines them visually and with her gloved fingers, finishing by gently retracting my hood to visualize my clitoris. It's like a magical warm up to the internal exam.

My doctor also touches my legs first. She touches three times on the inside of my legs, getting closer each time. Then she tells me I’ll feel her touching my labia. She doesn’t say anything after that while she’s working unless she has a specific question.

I love the whole feeling of it. I’m glad she doesn’t talk because I can fully concentrate on her touch.

Yes. Having your legs open, knowing the doctor will see everything, then feeling his gloved fingers as he parts my labia. Definitely a highlight of the exam!

Very much so, it's done at the end of my medical. I feel the anticipation when I'm stood in my t-shirt and knickers and she asks me to remove them so I'm standing there with my slit showing, until she asks me to climb up and open my legs.

Then I'll feel her pull my lips back in various positions completely unfolding my most private area. Sometimes I look down and it feels both embarrassing and exciting to see my middle pink bit, that's usually concealed in my lips exposed and sticking out!

She feels my inner lips and separates them too to look at my vagina then lifts my hood to look at my clitoris.

It looks quite splayed after she has finished when I climb down, the hood and minora are poking out of the slit.

Yes I do. The feeling of getting into position with my feet in the stirrups, then the doctor asking me to open my legs and she starts doing the external exam, first visual, then she opens me with her fingers.

Loving this thread , glad people commented on it recently to bring it back to life! These visuals remind me what attracted me to med fet and my desire to be explored by another woman.

Yes, love this feeling so much! Although I have had the same obgyn for many years and he has seen everything, I am excited each time.

I’m usually so anxious and terrified at the gyn visit that I don’t notice any of that, I don’t let my knees fall apart like she tells me to, and I just wait for the pain when she touches my cervix. I block out the rest of it.

I wish it was a pain I could convert to pleasure, like when I get tatts.

Having joined here, I’m going to tell myself to look at it like I would a pleasurable thing. My med fet was alive and well when I had a cutie pie male doc. Then he stuck forceps through my unprepared cervix and yanked out some of my uterine wall. So we are never getting back together. Like. Ever.

But. When I go see my (female) doc in July, I’m going to remember I enjoy this, and refocus on the med fet aspects of it, breathe, and try to enjoy the pleasurable parts.

I’ll let you know how it goes. Thank you all for the reminder. 💜

I got a taste of what it's like for women when my first lady doctor positioned me on my back with my legs spread and my butt at the edge of the table as she conducted the genital and rectal exams. She even pushed down on my lower belly when her finger was inside me. I liked that I could see her face and watch as she examined me. I had never felt so exposed before, or since. Very intimate.

The moment I step into the clinic, I feel the exiting and wet . Especially noticeable is the cool breeze from the air conditioning, which sends a shiver down my spine as it brushes against my naked skin. Sitting on the gyno chair, the sensation intensifies, with the cold air directly hitting my most sensitive areas, creating an unexpectedly stark contrast with the warm environment outside.

Yes, I love the external exam, feeling my labia being separated and inspected under bright light is a major turn on.

Yes, I certainly do, the external exam makes me feel more objectified/ like I am being studied. A cervix is a cervix but I feel like the dr is judging my external anatomy, gently parting my lips having a good look and feel around.

There is a more intense feel for me personally with the external exam and I know the rest of exam yet to come.

The external exam is definitely my favorite part; I wish my gynecologist was a little more thorough. Last time I only needed an external exam and it felt like she took a little more time, which I appreciated. She always touches the inside of my thigh first, after warning me, and then moves along- which is obviously a thoughtful way to do it, but I don't know if I prefer that or if a doctor just touching between my legs with no warning would be better. I do like that she narrates every step, saying things like "You'll feel me spread your upper labia" and "I'm going to part your lips and take a look; my finger isn't going inside yet." She tends to do a lot of spreading and looking; I'd like a little more poking and prodding- but I guess she thinks a speculum is enough of a poke and prod.

I like it and don't like it at the same time lol. When the nurse tells me to open my legs and let them fall as far as I can I usually close my eyes (a bit anxiously) and I usually feel my labia spread open. The nurse usually will tell me he/she is going to touch me and then proceeds the exam. It is always awkward but at the same time exciting for some reason for me. It is a different nurse for each exam as well so I never know who I'm going to get!

I have always felt the anticipation of being exposed and the doctor seeing my external bits to be the most anxiety producing and exciting. I wonder what the doctor is thinking, how I compare, and then imagining my labia being spread, vulva visualized - I almost prefer that to the internal exam which is less comfortable for me.

The external is the gateway to the exam. It’s one of those moments where you know it’s coming, and it causes the initial moment of anxiety

Yes, the external exam is one of my favorite parts of the exam. That initial scooting down on the table, then letting your knees fall apart. I always feel the cool air first, then the juxtaposition of the heat from the lamp that's turned on and directed to my vulva. Then when he says, "You're going to feel some touch now," and I feel his gloved fingers open my labia....yeah I definitely enjoy that.
