Stirrups, or just laying on table?

I have a question.

1. Do women on this forum feel more AROUSED when they have their feet in the stirrups or when they are laying on the basic table with their knees open?

2. Do women on this forum feel more EMBARRASSED when they have their feet in the stirrups or when they are laying on the basic table with their knees open?

I like to just open my knees.

I just posted this to a diferent thread:

I have always had stirups for gyn exams, which have always been quite low, and don't ever make me feel like I'm in an awkward position. In fact, when I used to be examined by my pediatrician, he would have me lay back legs together, then push them up--bending at my knees, and then spread my knees apart and open. This DID spread my labia quite wide, and I always felt very exposed--actually where my medfet began. I think this position or being up in stirups that either forced the knees up closer to the chest or spread the legs very wide would make me feel equally vulnerable, nothing like the exams I currently undergo.

Additionally, I felt very exposed and embarrassed with my knees spread apart on the exam table, which actually made me feel aroused. I think I felt this way because it is much more difficult to close the knees back together, and since my labia and clitoris are so sensitive, I felt more vulnerable to his view and examination. I hope that helps!

Personally, I've never been aroused in a gynecologic examination. I've gotten over being embarrassed for the most part. For some reason the stirrups are somewhat comforting because they are routine. I think if stirrups weren't used I would feel uncomfortable beause it seems more sexual. Not that it wouldn't be a bit arousing.... 😉

As several members know I an very partial to the basic heel stirrups, however I have also been in knee crutches and even twice in a gyne chair and I have to say this. Its being examined with my legs spread apart that really turns me on. How that is accomplished is fun, but really just spread them

I am with Lynn here, the embarrassment is part of the appeal of all of this. I have mainly been examined in stirrups both with RL doctors and in play over the years, but I have had the knee crutch system once. Spreading them is the key whatever way we do it 😃

A previous doctor treating my partner (he was trained in the UK in the mid 1960s) used to examine her by puting a leg over each shoulder, thus bringing him into very close contact.....

Her present medic uses the 'frog' position for her legs which she says is the least humiliating option......

I had my smear last week and it was just a table - Id love to see what the stirrups feel like"

I have never had the stirrups either. I feel that stirrups would make me feel more exposed and I'd feel embarrased too, but that would feel so much more erotic, I agree with what other posters have said more spread open the better

I believe that the stirrups would be both more embarrassing and more arousing. I would prefer at a real exam NOT to have stirrups, I would think.

Good job to Doc Rob for making that point, though!

FWIW, I prefer to examine women without stirrups—there is something arousing to me about the patient complying without stirrups, perhaps because it requires more cooperation on her part.

But here is the strange part—my absolute favorite position is to have the woman flat on her back on the table, completely naked, legs not especially spread, at least at first. That can nearly make me explode in and of itself. I do a lot of poking and prodding the mons veneris and labia majora in that position. Little by little, the legs are separated, as are the labia, and eventually I examine the vagina, usually in the frog position. A full clitoral examination follows, and I find that as that examination nears its inevitable conclusion, most patients want their legs flat and fairly close together for their orgasms. That puts them back in my favorite, flat-on-her-back position. We've come full circle.

Thank you for this beautiful annswear

see , on the same subject (examintion of adolescent girls)y post in the same forum :cultural differnces ... some of mmine ...

Stirrups or knee crutches are always needed for me to feel totally examined. It has to be as realistic as it can in any play exams for me to feel the thrill of the exam. Knee chest for the rectal exams is great too.

My doctor always use the stirrups and my friends doctors as well.

Definatly i find the stirrups more exposing and more of a turn on as it holds my legs in the right position to fully expose my labia

I'd be very disappointed if my wife wasn't put into stirrups.

That's about the only way she can have her bottom just over the edge of the table. Wow can't wait for her next visit. Just asked her and her answer was a definite "yes stirrups please"

I'm getting the impression from this thread that stirrups are less common in England than they are here in the States. Is that true? Do you British gals get your exams done without them? How does that tend to go? Now I'm all curious!

We just get asked to lay down in the family planning clinics and drop our knee's to the frog position .

but it does depend where you are sent to go and what doctor you see.

I much prefer the stirrups as well. My legs are spread, exposing my labia and rectum. I am helpless while in this position. It is both embarrassing and arousing at the same time.

I prefer stirups for both arousal and embarrasement.

Stirrups all the way!

All three variants (Plain table, stirrups, knee cradles) have their advantages and disadvantages. Some women feel more embarrassed when they have to literally hold themselves open, others feel embarrassed when they're held open.

I have had knee cradles, stirrups and just a regular table, and my personal favorite is the knee cradles. I don't even have the ability to close my legs if I tried and that's rather arousing for me. However, all of them, as mentioned by Nagus, have their pros and cons.

I would enjoy that very much, Please let me know how you would like to talk !

Both can be very stimulating. But when I'm in the stirrups I'm usually tied to them and can't move. This being restrained is the more arousing part. I've lost control and have to do what I'm told. *shivers at the thought(a good shiver too)

I've only been in stirrups during labour..never for a simple gynae exam. Would much prefer the stirrups though. Something about cold metal on hot flesh is very erotic.

I have had all three: knee cradles, stirrups and just the table. From a personal comfort point of view, I prefer stirrups. From a submissive, embarassment point of view I prefer the frog leggs.

As a "provider", I would have to say that most of the women who have come for a treatment have preferred knee rests to either stirrups or frog leg positions. The knee rests make it easier to access the points of interest too! 😉

I prefer the knee crutches but my partner and I have devised hanging leg slings for our play exams. Can't beat 'em with a stick! And they're great for both genders.

I would much prefer the knee rests but I have been told that it is not done in America. The stirrups need some effort on your part so you can't relax and enjoy the experience. Hanging leg slings, please do explain!

See my album in the Gallery for an explanation. If you need more info on how to make them, PM me.
