Visual or touch exam

When I was younger and my doctor would check my vagina she used to only reach her hand under the gown to feel around. I want to know if people find this erotic and is it better or worse than the doctor pulling the gown down. ( from an erroric standpoint and the patient standpoint)

This is for girls and guys

I don't know that I've ever had a doctor just feel around without watching what they're doing. Every doctor that I've ever had does their exam in full view. Isn't being able to actually see what they're doing part of the exam process?

I don't know if not seeing genitals impaired the exam in any way but I was young and modest was probably more important to them

My pediatrician always looked and did touch when separating my labia. As a young adult, I think that more touching without pulling the panties down would result in a greater degree of "sexual stimulation" than looking with some touch would. It is possible that young girls could perceive the lowering or removing of panties as more invasive the the touch as they haven't yet developed the same degree emotional reactions to the touch.

In general, I would say that a visual exam is probably even more exciting method to exam genitals than touching. Surely, it depends much on the circumstances. As an european I have never had an gown on during my exams. I have always myself taken my underpants down before the exam, never done that by a doctor.

When I worked in a hospital, we had to have yearly physicals, and for the breast exam the doc just put his hand inside my bra and went to town...lol. Honestly, I couldn't tell if I was being fondled or examined, and at that time I hadn't had any prior breast exams, so I really didn't know the difference...lol.

Shylady,

What do you believe attributed to this type of breast exam? Possibly time constraints or modesty issues. Was it more erotic or embarrassing to be examined in this fashion? Did it feel dirty, like the doctor was copping a feel? Finally, if you don't mind me asking, what size breasts do you have?

Hi sensei1980

Employee exams were done in the ER when they slowed down. Our ER nurse on duty happened to be a male, so I closed the door as I didn't want him to come in during the exam. I would have been too embarrassed to have two men in there. You're absolutely right...it did feel as if he was copping a feel as I do have very large breasts.

The house doctor performing the exam just happened to be a gynecologist and asked if I wanted a GYN exam. I refused (it would have been my first time) because it would have been too embarrassing to have anything like that done in the hospital where I was employed. Also, the doc probably would have wanted some assistance, and the only one present was the male nurse. Since I always saw that male nurse at dinner in the cafeteria, I was not about to let that happen...lol.

Very interesting shy, I would also think it would be more of a sexual feel as opposed to a clinical feel. Interesting.

Hi mfd141

Yes, it did indeed feel sexual, mostly because more attention was given to one area. I didn't even want to entertain that thought at the time, but I did realize there was very little difference between his exam and my boyfriend's touch....lol. Hope he enjoyed...lol.

It has to be touch touch touch for me as visual is just so not going to work for me as a turn on .

I would have loved to be touched down there in my vagina I would not have been embarresed the feel of the doctor touching me there would be fantabulous I can't wait till this is done. I am hoping to get a complete physical before I go off to college. It would be very soothing

Every doctor I have had examine me always looks at my penis and scrotum before palpation and hernia exam. I find it is actually the anxiety and fear that builds up leading to the exposure of the genitalia. It is the first second that the penis is exposed for the examiner to have a look at it that is the moment I dread the most and gives me the sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. The palpation and hernia exam only serve to prolong the misery.

Both visual and touch for me growing up the dr would always have me remove my underwear and lay on the table nude so it was always full view and them touch

One of the doctors at my pediatrician's practice was always very careful not to fully pull down my underwear while checking me for a hernia and while checking my testicles. If he had me laying down for the exam, he'd lower my waistband just a bit -- at most exposing just the shaft of my penis but not the head, and if I was standing, he'd position himself behind me and slip his hand inside my underwear without pulling them down.

Another doctor there used to have my stand up, and he stood behind me and pulled my underwear down while he reached around me to check my testicles and for a hernia when I was younger. At the time, I thought there was some rule that he had to touch but wasn't allowed to look. When I got older, though, this doctor just had me lay down on the table for the exam, and he pulled the front of my underwear down as far as he could and got a good look of everything.

I'm not sure why they both switched up their methods, but both did the "touch but don't look" method at at least one point.

Very interesting Thread......from an erotic standpoint i t hink its interesting to keep the area covered and just touch

It is more erotic to expose the area inspected than to just feel it unexposed in my opinion.
