As you will have seen, Sarahgyn, there's a variety of different views on this. Some men and women get turned on by their partner being examined - fair enough, if it's what they both enjoy I wish them well. The thread's title speaks of jealousy. Personally, I've never seen it as having anything to do with jealousy, I just don't like the idea of ANY other man looking at my partner's 'private' areas for any reason. Let's just leave aside the 'it's sometimes necessary for a doctor to do that' thing - I know it is. As I said earlier on here, I prefer to be examined by a female. This forum and this fetish, like life, is replete with paradoxes, contradictions, and yes, sometimes, hypocrisy. I plead guilty.
You ask if it would make a difference if they were enjoying themselves: well, yes, it would make me feel even worse - but how would anyone know (unless there were outward 'giveaway' signs) that was the case?
You have been honest enough to admit that you feel an attraction to your female patients, you will no doubt find yourself being criticised for that, but, as you are no more capable of switching your innermost feelings on and off at will than anyone else, what should you do - give up practising medicine?
Your final question is a fascinating one. I've had girlfriends who've preferred having intimate exams done by male doctors, and some who would rather be examined by a female; the reasons I've been given for these preferences would take up a lot of room, and I haven't always been given a definitive reason. One I have suspected (as I said in my post above) is that some women (and men) feel it's unnatural to have someone of the same sex looking at and touching their intimate areas. No, I wouldn't like to think you were enjoying yourself examining my partner, and I have to assume she wouldn't, either - and that's the more important point. Whilst I may not like it, you would be enjoying yourself at HER expense. But before I, or anyone else, throws up their hands in horror, consider this: anyone who enjoys being examined by a doctor in real life (and not all on here do) is actually enjoying themselves at the doctor's expense (assuming the doctor isn't of the same persuasion). It's possible to be an unwitting pawn on either side of the game.
It doesn't do to make sweeping assumptions, human nature makes us all different. I don't believe all doctors are rampant sex fiends exploiting their patients any more than I think the moon's made of green cheese, but I do accept the possibility that some may enjoy their work in a way that mainstream opinion would regard as inappropriate.
I once read a question on a (general) forum asking women if they enjoyed having internal examinations. The replies ran the gamut of opinion, but the first one was along the lines of: "Oh yes, I'm naked from the waist down lying on a bench with my bum hanging over the edge and some guy I don't know is sticking his fingers inside me - trust me, no woman's going to enjoy that." Really?
OK, that was how she felt, and she was entitled to speak for herself, but not to make such a sweeping statement about all womankind. We know she was wrong to do so, and people who posted after her told her that.
Let's face it, we sometimes have a hard time figuring what's in our own minds, all we know of what's in other people's is what they choose to tell us.
