Ok, ladies. Have any of you suspected that your male gyno had an erection during your exam? My gf is sure that her doc has had an erection on several ocasions.

[/quote]I really doubt it.

Her gynecologist probably gets about as excited feeling your girlfriend's vagina as you are when you are feeling a cantaloupe in the fruit market.

It's his job. Once you've had your hands in some number of vaginas and rectums, (or palpating scrotums and penises) there just isn't a sexual excitement to it anymore especially when it isn't your sex partner. You have to be alert for pathology and are responsible for the patient's health.

I'm with Sue on this one, I highly doubt it. As a matter of fact, I can almost guarantee he hasn't.

Maybe it was just the pants he was wearing? You know some pants do that. They highten the crotchal region making it appear one has a boner when one actually doesn't!

Maybe he stuffs his pants with socks! 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁

Maaaybeeee, he has a big package. . . but an erection, uh uh.

I have to throw in my 2 cents' too. While your girlfriend may be super attractive to you, she's a patient to her doctor and nothing more. If he becomes physically aroused every time he sees a vagina, he's in the wrong business. I'm sure that he's become professionally desensitized and his supposed arousal is highly unlikely.

Play On!

. . . . and the nursing community has spoken! 😎 😎 😎

So it has, Susie!!!... Why do I get the feeling that what the nursing community has said does not support what some of the members want to hear?

Possibly the suggestion is that male gynecologists become desensitized to the female body and that they lack the normal hormonal functions of the average male? There is a huge difference between natural arousal and unprofessional behavior, and only the gynecologist knows if they become aroused by a particular patient unless they act on it.

To use the analogy of an auto mechanic, the day to day monotony of fixing broken cars is something they do because they do it well and enjoy it, but the average car is just another dollar. However if a pristine Ferrari rolls in for a pre-sale inspection, their pulse quickens and it becomes a pleasurable distraction from the ordinary. To say they would not enjoy or be excited by the opportunity would be to woefully underestimate the power of testosterone. Now substitute a perfectly healthy and highly attractive female patient who stands out from the crowd, who is not "just another sick vagina". The one in a hundred or more who may fit into that category NEVER causes the slightest bit of enjoyment or arousal? Possibly....

We deal in realities! 😁

Few people ever get to hear what they want when they want to hear the truth.

I also agree with what Ladydoc has said.

DrJ58, if you want to have the thought that on occasion a gynecologist is aroused by a patient then by all means you are welcome to it. I would hope a doctor would have the common sense to not become aroused. If they maybe ever slightly get any interest they would be the professional that they are and not let on in any way. The legal possibilities may not be good for his doctors license

But this is what fantasies are made of. Keep those fantasies and enjoy them.

Before you warm up the tar pot, I said there was a big difference between arousal, or enjoyment, or whatever you wish to call it, and unprofessional behavior. One is emotional, the other physical, and they do not automatically relate to each other. Certainly the majority of patients who pass through a doctors exam room are just another patient, however human nature is that some of those will stand out and be memorable in some way. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, each of us is aroused in some different way and what arouses one may not arouse another. Memories are a powerful thing, people do not need to display our arousal if it was not appropriate and indeed we would try to suppress it if it was detrimental to our relationships. To expect and receive anything less than professional conduct in the exam room does not mean that one or more parties did not enjoy the experience.

A good physician sees the whole patient, not just a vagina. Some patients are beautiful to no fault of their own and unless they come in with a bag over their head, after the "professional exam" they may happen to be remembered. As a Play Doctor I have no problem at all in suppressing my arousal during an exam and I always conduct myself as professionally as any real doctor would, yet I am aroused by the entire experience after the fact. What arouses me is mine and mine alone, and no one knows exactly what that is. We cannot control other peoples thoughts so none of us would really know if a male gynecologist was aroused by a "one in a million" patient. Would we?

Your point is well taken DrJ58. Speaking as a play-doc only, I know that with some patients, it's easy to maintain an appropriate "clinical distance" and with others (okay. one in particular), it's almost impossible. Nonetheless, when in the midst of role-play, I can't let on how aroused I am, that would spoil the scene.

I particularly like your statement, "What arouses me is mine and mine alone, and no one knows exactly what that is." Truer words were never spoken, and sometimes it's difficult for me to put my finger on exactly what it is that makes me so excited, I just know that "it" exists. Who would have suspected that kink is so ethereal?

I for one, have no intention of lighting the fire under the tar pot, at least not where you're concerned!

I think DrJ58 hits the nail on the head...There are absolutely male doctors out there who enjoy examining a pretty female patient...and I imagine that applies to female docs as well. I don't think you can vilify them either...unless they take things a step farther. As to the erection scenario...ok yes...rather doubt it....but you don't need an erection to get enjoyment.

Regardless it's a reality and these feelings actually happen on occasion outside of play exams... so I don't get the denial factor. Conversely...should a physician get highly offended if he thinks his patient is enjoying the exam?

Speaking as a patient who gets enjoyment from exams...I can say that I can hide it very well...for the most part! 😁

Germangoddess, do you mean hide your excitement very well except for the engorgement and wetness? 😁 😁 😁 😁

Very good point Ladies. The female "engorgement and wetness", like the male erection, is a physiological response which you cannot control like a light switch. While you may be able to suppress some of the factors which trigger the response, you cannot control how wet you get, nor can a male control an erection. Both females as well as males may become aroused spontaneously for no obvious reason, it may have been as a result of clothing rubbing a certain way and no other factors. It is a normal animal behavior which professionals will recognize and take appropriate actions to ensure it does not interfere with their performance.

The fact you may experience "enjoyment" of the exam does not mean that you act inappropriately as a result. Short of screaming in ecstasy if you have an orgasm, presumably you would do everything you could to not let the doctor know that you are aroused. Likewise, in the event the doctor did have an erection, they would do everything possible to make sure the patient does not know. After all, the intent is a medical procedure and not sexual arousal.

The original poster inquired if male gynecologists ever get erections. Do male patients ever get uncontrollable erections during a professional exam? Unless they are eunuchs, or have severe ED, of course they do. Just as some female patients (and doctors and nurses?) become wet. I'm sure that every male gyn dreads the inevitable spontaneous erection and avoidance is a learned behavior from early in their career. Or else they always wear a closed lab coat....

I agree with Mashie, Switchablesusi, Germangoddes, Ladydocisin, and the others that it would be rare indeed if the doctor is turned on by the exam. Much of sexual arousal is psychological and situational, influenced by the ambience, mutual attraction, and expectations. The bright lights, drapes, gowns, presence of a chaperone, limited time, and the fact that the patient is not being seductive but is usually either bored, anxious, in pain, or otherwise very uncomfortable being there, all de-sexualize the situation.

For those of us outside of the medical community, being able to examine the most intimate of areas of a hot, naked, vulnerable woman is extremely erotic. That's probably the reason for our interest in medfet. That being said, we tend to transpose our feelings to the real medical professionals. If we realize that the doctor is not turned on by examining beautiful women, it tends to kill the fetish. We find our excitement in the fantasy, not the reality. The doctor views his patients the same way a butcher views a cut of meat. That's why places like this exist, for lay people to indulge in our fantasies.
