Ladies - Do you like the Feeling of the External Exam?

Amethyst Your mum pulled back your hood? I don't recall my mom ever doing that. Maybe she did when I was really young.

I like the feeling as well. The cold air hitting me there when I first spread my legs and then the touch.

No she did not do it, I pulled back my own hood. It was when I was growing up developing she showed me hers and I showed her mine.

Oh okay. I never had that either. I guess that is what sisters are for.

Why do I feel short changed by my sisters now? Obviously we saw each other in various states of undress but never exposed our clits to one another. Sounds interesting experience.

Charlotte70 Haha! I caught my sister masturbating when I was 12. She showed me that it wasn't a bad thing. Mom and dad always told us to not touch there unless you are washing or wiping. So I thought masturbation was a really bad thing. My sister is two years older then me. She learned from her friends and after I caught her she showed me. At that age it was more exploring and experimenting. Of course I had to show my best friend as well.

Were you specially told you shouldn't masturbate? It was sort of just not spoken about I just did it in private and nothing was said. Cool sister though

No we were not told not to masturbate. That was never brought up. I just remember if we stuck a hand down our pants mom or dad would say,"get your hands out of there. Only wash or wipe there".

I've had to have quite a few external genital exams recently due to the effects of testosterone on my clitoris and I enjoy the exposure and first touch every time. Even when I know something uncomfortable is about to happen. If it's not a doctor who's seen me before, or not recently, I enjoy seeing them trying to hide the shock on their face when they first see the size of my clit.

They usually invoke a quick look at the whole area, including the doctor pressing on my mound, but focus on my clit. Due to growth it sits outside its hood naturally now but I still enjoy the doctor retracting the hood further to check for any problems. However, my favourite part other than the initial touch is where they feel along the "shaft" which is now quite obvious. Possibly because it makes me feel more like a man having is penis examined.

@Tabitha32 if they said that then I think really what they meant was do not masturbate.

I do not think it is a good idea to stop anybody doing it in private because what it does is say to you that sex is wrong and furtive. It does not help you know your own body by the time you are grown up.

I love the feeling of both the first touches to my vulvar region, and especially the feeling of having my vulva and buttocks pulled apart/separated. Don't know why, but it just feels awesome!

The first touch during the external exam is amazing to me. Feeling the doctor's gloved fingers as I'm initially spread open is one of my favorite parts of the exam.

Yes! Lately this has been my favorite part of the exam. I'd like the doc to linger there a little longer...checking my vulva, retracting my clitoral hood, spreading my labia and checking my perineum.

I love exposing myself, not just for gyno exams, so I love having my vagina examined by an older male doctor. I've had both young and old. I love it when I'm told to "open my legs" and the doctor starts to use his hands to spread my vagina open and eventually open me up with the speculum. My first and second exam were a bit painful but now it's okay. I always look forward to my exams 😃

Well not too far from where I live there is a women's health clinic where women can go anytime they like, and they check for everything. I don't normally have smear tests at my local GP, I usually just go to this clinic where they do a breast, pelvic, and anal exam. Most of the doctors are men, a few are women. I always make an appointment with a male as I feel more comfortable with a male.

I'm fairly certain that GP's used to conduct pelvic examinations as I know my ex wife had such an exam when she wanted to get a prescription for the contraceptive pill back in the 1970's. I doubt a pelvic exam is required these days, perhaps a cursory check of the patients blood pressure.

Whilst I'm certain they still can perform them I suspect they would lower sensitivity and specificity for dectecting pathology compared to a gynaecologist purely as they perform less of them.

You are probably correct but I think a gynaecologist would only be found in a hospital here in the UK or perhaps in private medicine.

Yeah @Rockdoc there are some private gynecologists. I do not go to BUPA or something else like it because I do not want to get a different doctor every time and not be able to choose if it was a male or a female. My husband helped me pick a gynecologist and I knew I wanted a male not a female. It was a really good decision and I am very happy with my choice.

My mum told me that she needed a pelvic exam to go on the pill and it was annual. But when I was 16 and I went on the pill in 2003 I did not need any sort of pelvic exam. I think I got my blood pressure checked and I was asked if I smoked (no I never have) and a few other medical questions but it was all so little fuss that I do not remember a lot about it really. I do not know what year they stopped doing pelvic exams for prescribing the pill but I bet it was in the 1990s.

On of the reason that women needed a full gynecological exam before being prescribed and then every 6 months during the 70's and early 80's was that it was recommended by the manufactures as the pill was relativity new and at that time they knew that women on the pill had a higher incidence of cervical cancer but they did not know why (HPV connection not yet confirmed).

Microgynon 30, a pill which has been in use for about 40 years and very popular during the 80's and 90's. This statement from the data sheet (and would have been enclosed with the pill pack), the last line clearly requires a smear test, plus examination of breasts and pelvic organs and states "at least annually"

Medical Examination/Consultation

A complete medical history and physical examination should be taken prior to the initiation or reinstitution of Microgynon 30, guided by the “Contraindications” and “Warnings and Precautions” sections. This should be repeated at least annually during the use of Microgynon 30. Periodic medical assessment is also of importance because contraindications (e.g. a transient ischemic attack, etc.) or risk factors (e.g. a family history of venous or arterial thrombosis) may appear for the first time during the use of a COC.

The frequency and nature of these assessments should be based on established practice guidelines and adapted to the individual woman but should generally include special reference to blood pressure, breasts, abdomen and pelvic organs, including cervical cytology, and relevant laboratory tests.

I love the cool air when my lips are spread!

I see this is an older post, but since I have my annual gyn appointment next week, it is on my mind. That moment when you first open your legs drives me crazy, so obviously the light being turned on and the snap of gloves can put me in a mini-coma! I have found in the last few years that sitting on the end of the exam table in crinkly paper, straining to hear sounds from outside of my door makes me feel like I'm going to have a panic attack, the anticipation is so great! I think if the external exam took more that just a few (or more) seconds, there would be a lot of us climaxing at our appointments. Damn!

Yes, very much so! I went to a new Dr. And had this sort of a anticipation. But with this dr, i was in stirrups , then she went right into my labia with no warning and started using both hands to spread my labia on each side all the way down. It felt super weird and arousing. It also lasted longer than my usual exams.

In an odd way the external exam calms me down. Before it starts there are a million thoughts in my head.

*will I get aroused.

*can she tell I’m aroused?

*is she judging me?

*did I shave well enough?

*can she tell how hard I got fucked yesterday?

*dont get wet. Don’t get wet DONT GET WET

and then it starts. I feel those gloves hands touching me and I immediately snap back to reality. It doesn’t feel sexy. It feels like an exam. It feels rather impersonal. Like she’s picking out a fruit and not like she’s fingering me.

My mind goes more to

*I wonder what light bulbs they use in the snake light. I swear it used to get warmer.

*oh god I hope nothings wrong. I’m normal, right?

*I don’t really want to talk about the weather while you spread me

*I wonder what’s for dinner tonight. Did I remember to defrost the chicken?

Yes, absolutely! The embarrassment and flushed cheeks come across as you are laying there with your legs spread and prying eyes on your most vulnerable areas. Then the gloved hand just gently touching and feeling the outer area and looking before the internal and speculum part of the exam begins.

I love the thoughts and feelings that the external exam brings. I feel most vulnerable during this part of the exam, I think because of the initial exposure of my most private areas to the doctor. I never seem to scoot down far enough for his liking. After being told to move my bottom ALL the way to the end of the table and let my knees relax that first whoosh of cold air on my privates lets me know that my nether regions are now in plain sight. It brings on so many different feelings in me right away.

When I see my Gyn or urologist, the external exam is the prelude for the main event. I do enjoy it, but it seems somehow almost ordinary because I guess I'm more focused on what's to come.

I find my external genital exam from our internist to be highly erotic, however. I think that's because she doesn't do an internal and she doesn't use the stirrups. She has me keep my panties on under the gown and usually asks me to remove them when she's done with my abdominal exam. At my last physical, she asked to remove them. I think it was because I had some mobility issues prior to a knee replacement. She had me lift my hips and just pulled them down and off my legs.

She has me get into the frog leg position. At this particular physical, again because of my knee issues, I had a hard time doing that, so Dev helped me by holding my “bad” leg, which added to the eroticism for me. She palpates my labia, then spreads them and retracts my clitoral hood, which is an insanely intense sensation. Then she feels the area around my urethral meatus and has me bear down and then cough to check for urine leakage. Finally, she does a brief palpation of my Bartholin's glands to wrap things up, which is the closest to an internal exam that she does. Then we move on to my rectal exam, which is done with me on my side with my knees pulled up in front of me.

In an odd way the external exam calms me down. Before it starts there are a million thoughts in my head.

*will I get aroused.

*can she tell I’m aroused?

*is she judging me?

*did I shave well enough?

*can she tell how hard I got fucked yesterday?

@Amanda_O, my favorite answer so far. LOL!

So many fantastic replies. Geez, it’s as if I’m reading my own inner thoughts.

I‘m also thinking about a particular song and silently singing it in my head as I’ve just asked my GYN or GP with humor and sarcasm, “Shall We Dance?”💃🤔😉

YES!!

I always jump a little when that first contact is made even though I’m expecting it.
