Stirrups, or just laying on table?

Knee cradles are just more comfortable then stirrups.

For me there is just something about being in the stirrups that I find erotic

The laying on the table is what I think of for OR play and the like, but there is something about stirrups, especially if restrained, that I love more than anything.

I like the stirrups but frog legs on general clinic is fine too.

The only way i have been examined i was in the stirrups i do find it embarresing but i also do find it to be a turn on

I've only been in heel stirrups for my exams at the gyno. I do find it embarrassing, but that is also part of what gets me hot. It is a complete turn on to be up in the stirrups and exposed, feeling so on display.

In this Country (UK) stirrups/knee rests are not used for routine smear/gyn appointments at the GP practice. For some hospital appointments they are, but there isnt much opportunity to try them generally unless you go privately or to a hospital.

Every country seems to have its own format and style of exam.. including the somewhat odd (to me) drape between the doctor and patient that seems to be the norm in Japan.

I think the frog leg position is more arousing in a way because you have to consciously spread your legs yourself and keep them open for the doctor.

Though I think my preferred position would be none of the above, but instead actually having my legs held open by someone else.

The frog leg position seems very common in UK Commonwealth countries.. or at least many of them.

Would seem to me however that the doctor does not get a very good look at the cervix... or even the overall vulva as he/she is on the side of the patient... vs. the straight-on view when seated on a stool between the patients knees.

Just an observation.

When my Wife goes to her GYN her Doctor has her lay back on the table and spread her legs open.She asked her one time why she does not use the Stirrups for the Pelvic and was told it easier for the patient to get up afterwards. Her family doctor does use the Stirrups for the Pelvic exam.

A correct speculum examination can't be conducted without the use of stirrups or knee-rests making the patient have her bottom just over the edge of the table. Frog leg position or " Just laying down and open the legs" are good for hospital bed care ( specially for a casual vaginal touch and/or bimanual ) or home care and fantasy play.

Doctordouglas, I know how professional you are when it comes to your examinations...so your above post must be just a slip of the tongue ..or finger in this case.

I never heard of the frog leg position before this site. I have always been in stirrups or feet flat on the table and spread a bit

thanks Lucam! Hope it's better now... sorry about the not so go0d english but "Lust" instead of "Just" and other too much fast typing was really a slip of finger ... or tongue...

cheers!

For me I prefer the KNEE supports,but have had it done also with stirrups.

In my doctors i have only ever been frog legged even when having an iud fitted,which for me doesnt mean wide enough! i would really love to be examined in knee rests, but my playdoc and i are really aroused by pics and the thought of slings, doc having to place ankles into them , not being able to release myself , lovely !

I love having my feet in three stirrups!

I'm guessing there must be a typo here, either that or there's something out of the ordinary with the patient's anatomy.

Im the stirrups for me i would like to try the knee rests

I've only experienced stirrups except for one time in the E.R. when I was having a miscarriage, and they pulled apart the 'bed' I was on and it had built in leg rests. It was super cool, cuz all I could think about was 'The Transformers' (took my mind off what was going on) and these things were hiding in plain sight! LOL! I've never expereinced a GYN chair, or the formed leg rests, and I've never been examined on just a flat bed or table. The closest thing I've experienced to the frog leg position was when I had my 'Triangle' Piercing done. I'm just super glad I was laying down for that one cuz it really hurt! LOL!

My GP uses just a flat examtable on which i have to place my feet on and have my knees fall apart.

But during labour and during IUD ionsertion and 2x a gyn procedure done on me in the hosipital, all times they used leg/knee rests/supports. I found that the most exposing and cool position to be.

Also because there were more medical people present then just the gyn.

I like having my feet in the stirrups

Usually if i go to the gyn doc it would be a table with stirrups if i would go to the hospital for a check they would just tell me to drop my pants and lay flat on the table if a rectal exam is necesary they would tell you to stand in knee chest position on that flat table. Conditions in our hospitals are very bad.

I love having the stirrups but I also love knee rests

in my doctors i have only ever been frog legged even when having an iud fitted,which for me doesnt mean wide enough! i would really love to be examined in knee rests, but my playdoc and i are really aroused by pics and the thought of slings, doc having to place ankles into them , not being able to release myself , lovely !

Slings..very hot. I have only seen a few pics of them in use. I had a friend who ended up having to go the hospital once/month for about 5 months for tests,internal,speculum. Can't remember why.She had never been in other than foot stirrups. She was gowned and..her words:"the Dr. lifted my legs one at a time..bending them back and out a little and placing them through these wide straps then suppored by my calves..that were looped and were hanging from these shiny metal poles at the sides of the table. Then he adjusted the straps somehow so that my calves were pulled out and up at the same time.

I found that extremely arousing at the time..and then again many years later I talked to a girl who was 20 and had never been examined..but was going to make an appointment. And then tell me about it. She had pretty much the exact kind of "slings"

My original doctor in Montreal had a table with knee rests and hydraulics to raise and lower the table or the back rest. Being a woman herself she told me she invested in the most comfortable table available in her opinion. She told me she always hated stirrups herself.

My doctor now in Toronto is old fashioned and does the 'Feet flat on the table, knees together. Okay let your knees fall outward.' That's how he says it 😃

I can't drop my left knee because the wall is against that side of the exam table.

I am very small so he uses an extra small speculum. I think the positioning makes it worse because I never had discomfort with my Montreal doctor.

**FYI- these are real doctors and I am never aroused for my exam.

I have had gyno's that prefer stirrups and those that like the frog leg position and dont enjoy either if its a real drs examination. in play examinations though i love the stirrups. Just seems to make me feel more exposed and therefore more turned on 😃

I have only been in stirrups, the exposure is both embarrassing and a turn on. I had pelvics at the family doctor and obgyn. The obgyn keeps the stirrups out and the family doc, she pulls them out when it is time.

Stirrups are more comfortable for me, but the frog legs position is more arousing/embarrassing.

I have always been in stirrups for an internal exam. I'm sure this is much more convenient for the doctor. Once after surgery my surgeon removed packing and did a cursory check with me in the hospital bed. I found it hard to stay still with my feet on the slippery sheet.
