In a play doctor scene, should you wear surgical gloves?

In a play doctor scene, should you always wear surgical gloves? Are there circumstances where clean bare hands might feel more erotic?

Interesting question.

For the rectal examination, I think this is a must for being clean and safe, plus I think that may be a turn-on for some(the gloves themselves).

However, when doing a face-to-face genital exam with someone I care about I think gloves off for the sperm.

Peace,

Caz.

I think it adds to the exam. I do when getting a urine sample and for prostate exam. Also if I am doing a oral exam.

My play doc always wears nitrile gloves for all genital and rectal exams. However, if I recall correctly, there was one time when he was witnessing a urine specimen that he suddenly caught me off guard by lowering my pants and underwear further and then held my penis barehanded before the exam began. Of course, I couldn’t pee while being watched but it was an incredibly humiliating yet exciting event. I wouldn’t mind reliving the experience!

For me, (as i also have a latex glove fetish), gloves are always a must for every part of the exam. But, that said, its not just because of the fetish aspect, but because of hygiene and for the visual aspects as well. So really its multiple factors for me really, as to why gloves are a must during exams. But there again, that is just me 😀

For anything to do with the rectal region, I'd say gloves is a must. Outside of that, and provided there is a confort/trust level with the play doctor, I am all for no gloves. That intimacy between doctor and patient, when the synergy is there, is everything. 🤗

I do also like the sound of the *snap* of the gloves so let's not throw the baby out with the bath water. Just whatever is conducive to the environment 🫦

I think yes. Adds to the realism.

I definitely think it adds to the atmosphere. Also I'm absolutely into it so I may be more biased than others.

Optional for genital exam, preferred if semen sample involved, obviously mandatory for rectal exam.

Not to be a nitpicker, but:

Surgical gloves are sterile and the purpose is to protect the patient from harmful germs during sterile procedures (such as catheter placement).

Exam gloves are not sterile and the main purpose is to protect the examiner from infectious body fluids.

As always good hand washing is a must for infection control!

For a role play exam the "doctor" should be wearing either latex or nitrile gloves. As someone else pointed out surgical gloves if a catheter is being inserted are needed to keep things sterile.

Any contact where bodily secretions are involved should involve the use of gloves. Due to latex allergy my preference is nitrile gloves .

With regards to catheter insertion , then sterile gloves are a must if you want to ensure asepsis and prevent urinary sepsis.

I follow what my real doctor does, gloves off except for between the cheeks, or stuff that can spill on the sheets (though he tends to leave me to handle my own urine!). I’ll of course respect patient preference if I’m asked to switch but it can be much harder to feel small or subtle changes during palpation through gloves.

I wear examination gloves during the vaginal and rectal examinations, as it makes things more realistic. But for the sexual health checks and orgasm(s) I don't normally wear gloves as it makes things a little more intimate...

Rarely use gloves. We always try to be very clean and trimmed and so on. But the few people I play with have the same mindset I do: there's nothing like skin on skin.

Yes

Call me weird but I really really love the feel of gloves on my tummy when I’m getting examined. Maybe it’s because I’m so used to a bare hand touching me? Idk.

@Kathy90 I am the same way for me gloves are esential to highten the erotism and gratification of the scene. I also think diffrent types of gloves and medfet outfits can contribute to the pleasure. Like once I had a doctor examining me in a green surgical smock elbow length gloves and a face mask. Oh man was it hot!! Guess we can be weird together.
