Play Exams and "Social Distancing"

In an effort to maintain "social distance", I have taken the decision to suspend any further play exams for the time being. Appointments that were booked for the rest of this month have been postponed until further notice.

I am keen to know if other play doctors have also done the same thing, and what peoples thoughts are on this in general.

What are patients who are requiring play exams doing at the moment? Does this mean more "virtual" online exams are taking place?

Considering what’s going on around the country, and around the world, I think you made the right decision.

Unfortunately I think things are going to be this way for the foreseeable future. Good luck everyone.

I agree 100% although I have only a two play examinations planned in the coming weeks both have been postponed until this has all passed... whenever that might be..

Absolutely the smart thing to do. Other than having to leave the house for work (I work as a paramedic- no “working from home” for me), I’m staying locked down with my family. Play exams are fun, but not worth the risk of transmitting what could be a fatal virus for some.

Granted, I don’t have any exams on the “schedule”, but voluntary isolation of all sorts is the way to go to keep everyone safe.

I think that's a really smart idea. Better safe than sorry.

I agree that it is appropriate to stop doing play physicals until the virus settles down and we get a better idea if whats happening.

Play and/or real exams! Unless there is a good medical reason to see a real doctor, it's best to postpone any routine visits as part of social distancing. Same with physical therapy. Even if there aren't a lot of people around when you go there - a lot of people have been there, touching things etc. It's impossible to keep everything free of germs no matter how hard they try. Definitely see a doctor if there is a real medical need. Some offices are offering virtual consultations vs in person visits as a first line of defense.

A very sound decision . Better safe than sorry.

My thoughts are: A one on one meeting with a healthy person, it's highly unlikely either of you will give each other a virus.

City areas, social distance efforts should be that much greater. If getting together in suburban or rural areas, know where your partner has been as far as social distance. If your partner is from a more urban area, maybe be better to avoid a meet up.

Have an idea if you've put yourself at risk or not by folks you've been around. And have an idea what your partner's social distance habits have been.

Don't necessarily shut down on one one one meets. Have the instinct to know if it's a safe idea or not, based on habits of one another.

I've had 2 play dates in the last week. It's highly unlikely either of us infected each other. I visited loners, and have had very limited interaction with folks myself.

How do you know if It’s a healthy person.

I have been having virtually and phone exams and that has been fine with me it’s just unfortunate because I was planning on surprising my play doc but COVID-19 decided to pop up and say hey.

I'm more interested in stethoscope exams on women than gynecological (other than breasts which have to be exposed to properly listen to the heart), and it's been a while since I listened to a woman's heart, but it will have to be a while longer until we get past this corona virus thing. I am hoping things will work out soon as I will be having an opportunity to listen to an 18 (will be 19 in July) year old girl's heart, and I have a new cardiology stethoscope that I am eager to test on her chest!

I definitely think that this is the time for virtual exams...

Yes that is certainly a great way to still share the fetish with other without endangering anyone.

It seems most play exams will be moving online, I think!

Having advanced my fetish to real life exams many years ago, it is certainly my preferred method. Unfortunately with so much social distancing(rightfully so) I’ve found that Skype exams have been an adequate replacement.

I am very lucky and blessed that my one and only play patient is MrsFn. It will be business as usual for us in the department of play exams. In fact, I may have to run her through an even more extensive battery of tests due to the current situation. 😁

It helps to get into character and "become" DrFn when we play a Medfet scene. I'm not her hubby at all during these sessions.

I don't understand this online thing. For me, the human touch is part of the excitement. Online just doesn't cut it. I would still meet someone now if the opportunity arose and I was interested. We can't stop living. Just be careful.

Everyone still needs to act responsibly and observe the requirement for distancing. It isn't possible to tell just by looking at someone whether they have coronavirus but without symptoms.

It has been too long since scheduling her for an exam. April 18th will be her next one. Now to build the anticipation for her until that day. 😉 😁

Would you have sex with a new partner without using a condom? Even if they looked ‘clean’?

If you answered no then why would you risk COVID-19?

You have a 3.4% chance of dying from covid-19. That's a one in thirty chance of dying.

If I gave you a bowl of 100 skittles and told you that three were poisoned and if you ate just one of them you would die, would you eat any of them?

How would you know if a person was healthy and not an asymptomatic carrier?

It isn't only who you meet, it's who the other person may have met and who they have met.

Llikewise, you may know your friend's social distance habits, but you won't know THEIR friend's social distance habits.

YES, SHUT DOWN ALL your meet-ups. Trusting you instincts is a good way to die, and I NEED less intelligent people to perform tasks that I cannot or prefer not to do.

Like all the song parodies say, STAY THE FUCK AT HOME.

Bi guys are probably the most dangerous of all in this climate because they will fuck anything.

Don't forget to first calculate the odds of catching the virus first. Apparently some people are immune. I don't know what the percentage is, but whatever it is, that comes first, so you have to calculate 3.4% of the percentage.

Meaning there will be a lot more safer Skittles.

Note, even if it were much lower, I still wouldn't try any. Once you die, there'll be no more Skittle eating for ever and ever and ever ...

Yet, you don't have to distance from those you live with .... how do you know THEY aren't carriers? Like I said, be careful. You can meet someone in a park and stay six feet apart while you chat. This could go on for 2 years or more. Our PM said today it will go on until we have a vaccine. Humans are social animals. We can't stay cooped up for 2 years with no face to face social interaction. If you live with others, you have that. But people who live alone don't.

How would you know if a person was healthy and not an asymptomatic carrier?

How do you know *anyone* isn't? Your husband?Your children? The cashier at the grocery store? The person who delivers goods to you? The person who comes in to fix your plumbing? etc, etc.

YES, SHUT DOWN ALL your meet-ups.

That is easy to say when YOU have a partner that you live with and can play pretty much any time.

You know this how?

Yet, you don't have to distance from those you live with

Well of course you don't, as they should be distancing in the same way you are. There are limitations even to social distancing of this kind. All you can realistically do is isolate a person you live with who is showing symptoms in a separate room and take other such precautions. We can't realistically expect everyone to live individually in separate premises, so there is only so far you can go.

How do you know *anyone* isn't? Your husband?Your children? The cashier at the grocery store? The person who delivers goods to you? The person who comes in to fix your plumbing? etc, etc.

People who work in shops are probably more at risk from their customers due to the numbers involved, but screens are in place to minimise the risk of droplets being carried across from person to person. As far as tradespeople being admitted into your home, it is a risk, and it should be avoided if possible. But if it isn't avoidable then at least a 2 metre distance should be maintained and any surfaces touched should be cleaned afterwards.

This is about minimising risk. There is no such thing as total avoidance, but with careful observance of sensible precautions, we can keep the risk of transmission as low as possible.

You know because presumably you ALL STAY HOME and out of contact with others.

The plumber coming in is an added risk and you should not stand around him while he is working.

Not everyone is able to stay home. Some are still required to go to their job, otherwise they could lose it. Otherwise who would get your curbside pick up or do your at home delivery for you? Who would be manning the healthcare that sick people need? Ect, ect.

The smart thing to do right now is no realtime meetings. As I said before everyone needs testing as there are some people walking around infected that don't know because they have no symptoms. This is not a time to meet someone new. Stay at home, be safe and wait until the situation gets better.
