GUYS--Do you want a male or female REAL doctor

I know people who knew him. That is not confirmation.

I personally prefer female doctors, hands down. In my experience, female doctors are way more gentle overall, but especially when it comes to the genital exam and/or DRE portion of a physical. I always had the idea before that a guy would be gentler simply because he has the same 'equipment' that I do, so he would be able to put himself in my place when examining me. But has been far from the case. Not that I can't handle the rougher treatment, but given the choice, I'll always opt for the gentle touch of a female doc each and every time, to the point that all 3 of my doctors are indeed females.

I prefer a female doctor because I feel they listen and care more about my health. Better care is the best choice.

Same here, I'm a guy and I don't mind wether a male or female examines me but for some reason I prefer talking to and discussing problems with female doctors.

I find them better listeners I suppose.

Same goes for dentists and psycologists.

Mmmm, I think I would prefer a male doctor. I feel you can be more open when discussing private part issues, lol

I've had excellent (and terrible) exams by both female and male doctors and I wouldn't hesitate to see either gender for any non-intimate type of exam as long as they're well qualified and highly recommended.

As I posted in another thread, when it comes to intimate exams, I'm fine with exposure in front of any doctor but I find myself more restrained in front of female doctors because of my fear of appearing like I'm flashing myself or too eager to get my pants down. Is that fear irrational? Probably, but I feel in this day and age I feel like you have to be extra careful to avoid any insinuation of impropriety. Because of that, if I didn't already have an established doctor and if I were allowed a choice, I'd see a male doctor if I had a genital issue.

I'm not into medfet (yet) so take a distant view of doctors, quite happy to have them at arm's length so to speak. I'm straight, My doctor is a woman, friendly enough but businesslike. So far I've had nothing too intimate to discuss with her but, should the need arise, I don't think there'd be a problem. I'm pretty sure it depends more on personality and competence than gender, so I'd be happy with a good male doctor as well.

My preference is a woman doctor .

My preference is having a male doctor in both real life and roleplay. In real life I feel much more comfortable being undressed and talking about health issues with a male doctor.

I prefer a female for primary care because women tend to be better communicators and generally spend more time with the patient. That being said, I'll see the best doctor I can find regardless of gender.

I'm male and would prefer to be examined by a female doctor. As an adult, there may be a sexual component to this. However, even when I was very young, it always felt wrong to have a male touching my genitals (probably because my mother always bathed me as a child, never my father). I guess I am sexually discriminating in that I view women more as caregivers and men in more of a competitive/aggressive role.

Having said this, I have been to many male doctors and had some pretty intimate exams done by male doctors (genital exams, rectal exams, colonoscopies, etc). But in my view, in a perfect world, all of the doctors would be female...

My primary care doctor has been female for the past 2 decades or so... I had a colonoscopy done this morning though, and my gastroenterologist is a guy. I.E., I don't let my sexual preference prevent me from choosing a good doctor.

This is an interesting viewpoint, because I feel like I am being sexually discriminating too, but in a different way. I'm not sure why I think that normal, medically-necessary undressing and exposure has a potential to be misconstrued by a female doctor. Perhaps I am more hesitant because I'm worried that a sexual component may creep in?

Given that people are sexual beings, I certainly think it is always possible that someone could have a sexual reaction to seeing you naked. Frankly, being naked in front of another person is an inherently sexual act for me. I don't become aroused by it, but that part of my brain that runs on hormones is definitely paying attention during those times. Because of this, I simply don't believe that someone else can just completely turn off their sexuality based on their jobs.

On the other hand, I don't believe that I am attractive enough for anyone to risk throwing their career away for either... 😃

And because I am straight, I would rather risk turning on a woman than a man. For me, though, I don't think that is a huge risk because there is nothing particularly special about the way I look. I doubt a woman who has seen a lot of men naked is going to take any special notice of me...

As a practicing emergency physician I can tell you without equivocation that I am never aroused by any patient. In the context of work I never perceive them in a sexual way. It is work and thus my interest is only in performing my task. Trying to get it right that is not missing anything preempts such a perception. Also quite frankly people are infinitely varied and mostly have imperfections of the body which dictate against any arousal. My mind is on getting the job right and I don't ever even think about sex. I'm know it's hard for laymen to understand this. The analogy might be to those who work in a restaurant. They simply don't want to sample the food they prepare. Perhaps this is not the best analogy either. When I'm a patient I don't see things in a sexual context. either. It just isn't how we see things.

I prefer women doctors because they seem to listen better and follow through on patient's information they give to the assistant before the appointment. In addition, on those rare occasions, when I have genital issues I am much more comfortable talking with a female and having them check me out. I think this is just a matter of personal preference, and certainly some doctors are better listeners than others, regardless of their sex.

Male, definitely. The only female I see is my dentist.

To the OP: If you're talking about IRL and not play, I don't care about the gender of the doctor at all.

I want and have a female doctor they are much more gentle caring compasonate they listen better and i feel more comfortable with a female doctor doing my exams and all

It's interesting to me the amount of stereotyping in members preferences. I don't think women are necessarily more compassionate. It varies according to the individual. Women are perceived as caring and warm but believe me I've known some female docs who were less than that. The same is true for males. For myself, I'm very compassionate but I'm not your dad. I'm a trusty adviser. That should be enough.

We're all shades of gray. I identify as bisexual ... used to be more straight than gay, now more gay than straight. But the thought of a hot woman examining me turns me on to no end.

I am a straight guy and have been examined by both and female doctors. I definitely feel more comfortable with a female doctor. Especially if I am to have my pants down. I don't feel comfortable with a male looking or touching me down there.

Straight male here and would go for a female over male. Just the aspect of a strange woman examining me in an intimate fashion is quite the turn on.

I've had both male and female doctors and can honestly say that I prefer Females in a totally not sexual/fetish kind of way. My experience has shown me that females tend to listen better and are more through and aware of their patients needs. This isn't to say that male doctors don't care; just my personal experience. However, I currently have a very attractive female doctor which makes my visits that much ore enjoyable 😃

I am a straight male, I prefer an older doctor, male or female, I guess I prefer an authority figure and want someone who is very thorough and not afraid to see you naked. To me doctors who are concerned about modesty are a turnoff. Would except a younger doctor if they are very plain or ugly. Doctors who have you naked throughout exam are hard to find, i had a doctor up until I turned 21 who had an older nurse who weighed me naked in the office and stayed throughout the exam, doctors don't care today to be thorough.

I just love the comments about how we don't care enough to be thorough anymore. As a physician let me tell you that I pride myself on my ability to do an accurate physical examination. That said, I must remind you the object is to make a good diagnosis not to titillate. It's really the history which reveals the information.

This reminds me of a conversation I was having with my son a few days ago. Our family doctor came up. He's male, has a beard and hairy arms and doesn't look very attractive. And when we come to him for an illness, his exams are very short, sometimes almost to brusqueness ...

BUT ... as my son commented and my wife as well, he's never been wrong in his diagnosis. Usually it is nothing serious except for a few times, but even so. I'll take a competent doctor of any gender every time.

In fact he used to work in a group practice with 2 very nice looking young female docs, the stuff of medfet fantasies in truth. But they went out on their own in a mean-spirited and underhand manner and though they sent out notices to their group patients, none of us in my family went to them for medical care. We stuck to our male doc - because of his competence.

I prefer a female doctor. I feel they are more pleasant to be around and not as serious.

In the US, when new doctors enter a practice as associates or partners, there is almost always a restrictive covenant in their contracts that prevents them from opening their own office within a certain distance from the owner's office and that prevents them from sending notices to patients in the owner's practice that they left and giving out their new contact information.

I of course have no way of knowing what kind of agreement the 3 doctors went into when working together. But I have an inkling of a feeling from what I remember from the law classes we had to take, that this kind of restriction does not apply to the self-employed: these restrictions can exist for certain kinds of employees though. The distance clause most likely not (we don't have as much land area as in the US you know).

And as for notifying patients: since I was a patient with all 3 of them at one time or another, who decides who is whose patient? They all saw me at one time or another, so they were my doctor at one time or another as well. Complicated to determine for an outsider.

In any case, all of them are still in business, so if there was any legal contention, it hasn't stopped any of them from practicing medicine.

I prefer a female doctor for several reasons, including the fact that I'm heterosexual and it's a huge turn on to have genital and rectal exams done by a woman. That said, I would never tell my doctor of my kink since I would not want to embarrass her or make her feel uncomfortable--not to mention lose her as my physician.People of our interest have to be very careful (as you all know) to respect the fact that some people do not share our predilections. I too find that women doctors are more compassionate and pleasant, and I have seen 9 of them over the years.
