Gloves or no gloves for a play exam?

Gloves are smoother and can make the exam better, no nails to scratch delicate tissues. Once the lube is on and the juices get flowing gloves make it better.

That is just my opinion.

I find the putting on of the gloves and changing when appropriate to be part of the experience (and excitement) of the play exam.

The sensation from gloves is sexy on its own, but I don't have a particular attachment to it. I'd rather feel bare skin on bare skin.

It's not only about what we want. Some of this has to do with what is safe. I believe I always wore gloves the first time, and subsequent times if I didn't know the girl's history. Ditto for re using unsterilized specula, rectal exam & enema equipment (always used "new" for that), anything that could potentially infect or contaminate me or her. It's just prudent behavior.

Gloves forever would feeel wrong without

I wear gloves for my safety, and hers, ALWAYS. Likewise, if I'm inserting a vibrator, it gets a condom. Plastic can't be properly sterilized, so unless I'm giving it to her to keep, it gets a condom. Plastic specula and anoscopes? Once it's been used on her, it's hers.

If I was giving a female a rectal exam, I'd do it bare fingers. It washes off. LOL 😆

Gloves for sanitary reasons

I don't have a particular interest in gloves. When I was the patient I would leave it at the discretion of the play doctor when/if they were used. Understandably, the genital and rectal exams gloves were pretty much universally used, not to mention usually my play doctors would masturbate me to examine sexual function and that certainly can be messy. In the few times I was in the play doctor role, I would wear gloves when doing the genital and rectal exams simply for hygiene reasons. If someone requested gloves for the whole exam, I would do it.

Always gloves! But I want to watch the doctor put them on. Hearing the snapping latex. The air filling with that distinct smell when the latex is stretched

Always gloves for me. The glove + high quality lube is so smooth. Plus, my partner much prefers the silkiness of the gloved finger versus the rough raw finger.

Always gloves for me as well
