Throat exams

I find it a vulnerable thing to have too open and say "Ahhhhhhhh". I'm sure it's no biggie to many people but to me it is a bit humbling. I'm used to being in control and as subtle as this is, I am not when it is taking place. I will soon meet my new lady doc and am wondering if she will take a peek and say those two words...time will tell.

Temperature, you have described splendidly the passive aspect of a throat exam that for some of us can be very sexy. Thanks! Another aspect is the view of the open mouth and exposed throat seen by the doctor or dentist using their instruments and lights - the moist, fleshy interior, normally kept private. Of course the patent's submissiveness is a further sexy factor here too. - Ken

I replied in a similar post about oral fixations that I love any exams that involve the mouth/throat.

I have such a bad gag reflex but I absolutely love getting my throat checked and the embarrassment of gagging.

I can't agree more. I always find myself whispering and trying to open as little as possible. Even if I very well know what they need to check and why… it is a very embarrassing moment for me. Probably because I like it very much… but also because I feel a bit humiliated doing so.
