Gloves or no gloves for a play exam?

No gloves during auscultation, palpation, etc.... when I going to genitals and rectal gloves without any doubt!!!

To make the play exam as realistic as possible, gloves should be worn at the same times and for the same parts of the exam that a real doctor would wear gloves for

Gloves should always be worn for the clinical play exam. The act of snapping on the gloves and the smell of the latex are all part of the detail of the scene.

I agree. Gloves should be used in play exams for at least the portions where gloves would be worn in real life. Lots of people have commented on the snap, and I get that too. Also, the act of seeing the gloves come out lets the patient know something is in store -- seems to add to the anticipation, etc.

Gloves don't do anything emotionally for me so they are barrier protection, just like a condom for the hands.

Using latex or nitrile examination gloves can make the experience more realistic, and adds that moment of anticipation as the woman sees or hears the doctor take the gloves from the box and slip them on. She knows what is coming next! And depending on what type of examinations are due to take place gloves might be desirable from a hygiene standpoint.

On the other hand (no pun intended!) using no gloves can make the experience more sexual throughout. It depends what you are both looking to get from it.

In my view, using gloves at first and then later using no gloves gives the best of both worlds.

Depends on what kind of exam is it..mostly it is without gloves, throat, eyes, heart, lungs and abdominal exam. but sometimes it is fun to put them on or just to see her putting them.

For me it is basically the same as for robhok

My rule is "outside the body = No Gloves, inside the body = Gloves"

Also my sub likes the feeling of the latex especially during rectal exams.

For me it is gloves. I like the "snap" it gets me every time. I have a box of white latex exam gloves that I use to masturbate with.

Definitly Gloves. Without it is only half the fun. The snapping sound when you put them on. Then putting the Vaseline on them. And then when you enter the patients most intimate parts. And most patients love the feeling of the gloves.

As a patient, I like the feel of the smoothness of a glove for insertions... ho hang-nails or skin roughness...

As a play doctor, I would wear them, the thin kind, so I would still be able to feel the warmth, etc..

😄

White latex gloves are a classic, but does anyone like the synthetic gloves for play exams ? I'm an EMT, and for work I really like the synthetic ones.

Like many, i am a fan of the snap, and love the feel of the smooth surface sliiiding in.

I prefer gloves. Although latex is my favorite, I do like nitrile gloves as well.

I prefer gloves because it seems more real

Gloves really do nothing for me personally and there is no eroticism attached to gloves for me whatsoever. However, gloves for a rectal exam are most certainly a necessity and I do prefer the latex gloves over any others. However, if my patients specifically ask for a very realistic exam, then I will use gloves in all the parts of an exam that a real doctor does. If my patients do not specify or are looking for more of an erotic fantasy exam, then I will only use gloves for the rectal exam. I enjoyed real exams more before doctors started wearing gloves for most of the exam process.

Do you use Gloves?, Why do you use Gloves, why not?, What type do you use. Who uses them? Any interesting stories/experiences involving gloves?

Silly question, anal or vaginal fisting ?

Either, in any circumstance

I have never done anal, but have done enough vaginal. I would never wear gloves as it would lose the feel and thus intimacy.

I always use gloves during an exam, and change them when switching from vaginal exam to rectal. Very important for safety of the patient.

Depends what is being done. I switch gloves multiple times for the internal bits though.

I prefer no gloves, since I want to be able to smell her vagina on my fingers later on. But I could use them to make the scene more realistic.

I'm not into gloves for exams. Imagine wearing gloves during sex.

It depends on the patient. I use only synthetic gloves, not not latex

As the examiner, I prefer to use gloves. Since I like realistic exam, using gloves enhances the clinical, nonsexual ambience emphasizing the examination of body parts with no sexual intention. I also think the tactile sense for the patient of having cold latex rather than warm, soft skin touching the body seems really clinical. Typically, I will give the command to the patient to drop his shorts before donning the gloves. I then glove up while he stands there with his shorts down enhancing his vulnerability and extending the time for him to stand there with his penis exposed for inspection.

I am really not into gloves so will only use them for the rectal exam. I do all of the other procedures without them.

Better gloves for a rectal exam, saves on the mess and avoids hurting with the nails.

Gloves most of the time especially for a rectal exam. It is more sanitary and, of course, more realistic.

I don't think play exams should be overtly sexual and using gloves makes them seem far less so.

Well the use of gloves has its place for real and play exams. I personally only use blue nitrile gloves due to the increase in latex allergy. Gloves are traditionally worn when examining parts of the body that exude mucus or fluid, or any procedure in which blood to skin contact is possible.

Its is important to remember that the use of gloves protects both the user and the person being examined as transmission can occur from patient to examiner or from examiner to patient. So while you may feel tempted to forgo the use of gloves in favour of sensation; it is potentially putting your health at risk and is it worth the risk in the short term.

So whether play or real the use of gloves has its place, even if its with your significant other, there are potential complication like scratches from fingernails or inadequate hand hygiene before, during and after the exam. So its worth giving this aspect serious contemplation before embarking on a play exam.

In addition as some have allude it adds to the authenticity of having an exam for those interested in having a play exam that feels realistic or adds to the realism.
