Do you like to be told in advance what will happen next?

I like my patients to give me a general idea of what they like and do not like, then try to have room for surprises in the play. It's not really fun if you know everything that's going to happen.

Different women....different situations....some like it choreographed before hand.....some like surprises....I try to see what she needs. I always have a little something as a surprise before it's over.

I like to be told what’s going to happen. For me somehow I get more anticipation about knowing what’s coming rather than not knowing. I also love when a doctor explains what they’re doing while they do it.

I prefer to learn once I am in the room and before I am asked to undress if that's the doctor's style. I have had doctors who inform me as the exam unfolds, which is interesting and can make for more anticipation/anxiety. I think that I like being told as it develops more than anything.

A little bit of both. (Is that a cop-out answer?) I think it can be fun having a vague sense of what's to come, and then doctor surprises me with the specifics.

For example, I had one play doc tell me to bend over the exam table. I knew that a rectal exam was going to happen, but he didn't immediately begin the exam. Face-down on the table, I could hear him walk off and then the sound of running water. Next thing I knew, I was receiving an enema. Another play doc told me to go into the bathroom, so I figured I'd be asked to provide a urine sample--and he did, but told me when to start and stop. (Checking muscle control I think is how we played that off?)

But yeah, the best play docs conveyed enough so that I had a vague idea of what was to come, but then put an unexpected (and welcome) kinky spin on it.

The element of surprise makes the scene fun and if this regular play Doctor, it helps keep the exams fresh and me aroused. Still, there would be agreed upon limits for the Doctor and perhaps the patient as well. However, this gives the Doctor latitude to tick different boxes during the exam or change the order of procedures during the exam to keep the patient off balance. One exam may require a battery of posture and balancing tests. The next time, these tests may be skipped but a battery of cardio tests would be conducted in their place which require the patient to run in place and perform push-ups while nude or semi-nude to get the heart rate up.

Anticipation is a significant part of the turn on for me, so yes I do like knowing in advance! My mind plays the scene several times probably before it actually happens.

I like to ask my patients how much they want to know. The devil, as always, is in the detail and if they want to know then i will tell them. Not necessarily all of the details of what and how but a broad outline. There is always something in the exam that comes as a surprise.

I like to have a general “game plan” decided before the appointment, whether I’m being the patient or assistant. During the actual appointment, I prefer when things come as somewhat of a surprise. For example, the doctor will bring an instrument over without saying anything, which will spark a reaction, at which point the doctor will explain.

I would prefer to know the basics of the exam just before each part is about to happen, but I'd be good with the "doctor" keeping some things a surprise too. Makes it more interesting.

I’m also in the “some of both” category. From scripting beforehand I will have a general outline. But I like to leave the details (such as order of procedures or instruments being used) up to the doctor. The surprise factor keeps the anxiety/anticipation level up for the whole exam.

I like to have an intake questionnaire on file with my doc. He can devise a treatment plan using that information. In a way I know what might be coming, but would never know for certain. Just the way I prefer it.

I always use an intake questionaire .... that doesn't mean that I use it as a script for the examination. The more I know about a patient, the better I can plan scenes and exams and the better I can satisfy both of our needs during a session.

I love reading all the details from a play doc about what they are going to examine, how, etc. and definitely gets me super sexually worked up. I go back through old messages and re-read what will done to me as a patient all the time. That said, that also ruins a little bit of the surprise and the elements of "what next?" I do think communicating what you enjoy in a play session, and communicating limits, are super important for emotional and physical safety.

I have tried over time to more so outline to a play doc or play patient (on the very rare occasion that I play the doc) what aspects I really enjoy and find out what they really enjoy in the exam; I may give examples of things I might do or want to have done without being super specific. I will be specific about sexual limitations in the play though without necessarily specifically stating how the sexual aspects will play out. This way both parties know what is a no-go without feeling super limited sexually speaking in the play.

I love what Violet58 said about the questionaire. 1. its a big turn on for me too, but 2. It does give a great opportunity to get an idea of what will be involved in the play without being specific.

I love detailed descriptions of what play doc is going to do and also I love his comments. I find everything more realistic and involving in all the experience

Before I meet a new play patient I will first ask her to complete a pre-exam questionnaire, and then there will be email contact during which she will be told what to expect during her appointment and asked if there are any other specific procedures she might like to experience. Of course I will also discuss her limits...

I love knowing exactly what will happen during the upcoming play exam, it makes for great buildup to it. My favorite play doc has a very detailed step by step exam procedure that we go over prior to the exam, along with a specific agreement of limits and what the exam will and will not entail.

Yes, I would. Love the knowing part and maybe having to wait a bit for it, feks doctor tells me I will be given an rectal exam while standing between my legs, I'll watch he or she change gloves while looking at my privates, and I'll know where those fingers are going.

I like the doctor telling me what he plans to do to me.

Patients should always be told whatever any office procedure entails. There is no informed consent without it.
