Restrained in Stirrups

Do any doctors out there still have their female patients' legs actually strapped to the stirrups during an exam?

Sometimes this is used during pelvic procedures but restraint during a real exam isn't too common outside the medical play/fetish realm.

I wonder why it is still common in Asian countries. Did they use to do that in the USA? If so that is very erotic.

I think seeing legs strapped up in the stirrups is very erotic. Plus it give the doctor so much better access doing his exams.

For gyno surgery they have to strap the legs into some kind of stirrups. The stirrups where used more in the old days. Now stirrups can be used for fun and erotic play. Some women are still into the stirrups because it makes them feel more vunderable.

I am given a light sedation when I undergo vaginal and rectal exams at the doctor because I am so tight, and I am brought into the "procedure room" where the stirups have straps because you can't hold your legs in the proper position because you are so relaxed.

I have never been to a doctor who strapped my legs into stirrups, but i think i would like it... 😉

I was so combative during my first gyn exam that my doctor strapped my feet into the stirrups...but that just made me even more combative and harder for the doctor to do everything he wanted to do

Interestingly here in the UK stirups are not used as often as in N America and elsewhere. Here gynae exams are generally done with the womwn lying on her back with her knees wide apart and her knees flexed. This is almost universal for the taking of smears, general gynae exams and the fitting of coils etc.

Interesting cultural difference across the Atlantic!

Anyone care to comment?

Ive only tried knee crutch stirrups and restraints once .. no way the knees can close when the speculum goes in ...that's the one thing i noticed

The foot stirrups seen alot in general practice offices and also used for routine exams. knee stirrups isolate the legs better though. as been said before, straps used to afix the legs in knee stirrups if the patient is sedated or for an extended procedure.

I've read that going without stirrups helps to reduce anxiety in patients. Supposedly a study showed that the feeling of helplessness was greatly reduced when stirrups were not used during an exam.

I don't know if that is the reason why UK doctors have done away with using stirrups in most cases, but I do know that US doctors can be slow to change their ways.

Not to long ago I saw some fairly recent gyn videos featuring Asian patients and their feet were strapped in. The fact that all patients who appeared to be from that region had their feet strapped in leads me to believe that it is regional and common place there.

Also, I noticed that their is a screen(kind of like a curtain) that was closed in between the patient and the examiner so that the patient could not see past the screen at the doctor in between her legs. It was definitely much different than the images you get from American videos.

I would love to find a doctor that had knee stirrups with straps and used them. How nice to know that I did not have to option of closing my legs. 😁

Well, one probably could, but it would be extremely uncomfortable. I find the knees go wider once the speculum goes in. The closer together your legs are together the more uncomfortable it is.

Though I would absolutely believe this to be true (no stirrups = reduces anxiety), I would think it would be more difficult for the doctor...wouldn't it? I guess that's a question for the more experienced out there. I've never been on the "viewing" side of the speculum, ha.

I like the the stirrups that they ladies have to put their legs in. Not the foot pegs but the ones that go under the ladies knees. I thing those make women appear to be helpless and more willing to be examined. I don't think anybody uses these anymore do they.

In Germany almost every gyn has knee stirrups also for regular exams...

I've never had a real doctor strap me in, though she does have straps available. she told me that they were used in cases where the patient resisted (like psych problems etc) or if the patient was sedated for any longer procedures (biopsies etc)

I'd love to be strapped into a pair of stirrups

Even as a male I would not mind being strapped into the stirrups by a femdom nurse.

In N.A. never seen strap stirrups...

Why do some doctors use leg rests and others use stirrups?

My G.p. uses nothing.

Only feet flat on the examtable and knees wide apart.

The gyn uses knee rests, which have straps, but never used on me (sofar).

Ive never been strapped in the stirrups for a real exam but since i am into bondage it\ is something i always request during a play exam. Havnt met a play doc yet that didnt enjoy that part. Had one doc that even pulled my arms over my head and tied them down. it was great

I think it's mostly for procedures - at least, that's what I've experienced. And I must agree, it was kinda nice 😉

I've never been strapped down to the stirrups. However, I have seen that, and I think it's a good thing to do during the exam.

If one actually thinks about this...the straps are mostly symbolic...unless you are into a real good bdsm play scene where you can ratchet up the cuffs and straps...the idea of straps on a woman's feet in stirrups just means that she musn't move...she has been given a boundary, a mental form of bondage signified by having her feet strapped..."for her own safety" this makes a powerful statement in her psyche. she has de-facto given control over a portion of her own sexuality...very powerful, indeed!

Yes, I'd love a set of knee rests to use on my patient. For me seeing the womans legs raised high up and spread wide apart in such a clinical fashion is a big part of the "interest".

My doc doesn't. I had to have a sterile procedure done after having my baby and they didn't then either. was in stirrups for so long, I actually had a hard time keeping my feet in them
