Okay, so on to your second post.........
"I agreed, but I told her that if she went to a male doctor one more time for a necessary yearly exam, it would help me sort out my feelings and get used to the idea of another male seeing her naked."
How about this, instead of thinking about you, how about thinking about how this might be making your wife feel? Asking her to go to another doctor for an exam, exposing herself in order for YOU to sort out your feelings? Seriously. That's not fair, just, or appropriate, for her, not to mention selfish, childish and ridiculous for you.
"I thought about it for a while and concluded that if she went to 3-4 different male doctors for gyn exams over a short period of time, and I was able to somehow see the exams, I would at that point be over any feelings of anger or jealousy."
My thoughts here are again, are you serious? You need to get over yourself already and grow up a bit. If you both love each other, trust each other, then you should not be having any anger issues. Some slight jealousy is normal, and actually healthy, but when you start putting anger and jealousy in the same sentence, it at that point stops being healthy, and viers more into the psycho possessive crazy side of things....ummm, just saying.
" After a certain number of doctors saw her naked, in my mind I would think the damage is done, and another male doctor seeing her naked after that would be no big deal."
The question here is, what damage, damage to whom? You can't mean damage to you, yourself, or your male ego. I absolutely see that there would be damage done to your wife though, but not by the doctors she's been psychologically pressured into being examined by. Her damage wouldn't be physical, but it would be mental.
"Making appointments and going to 3-4 (20) minute gyn exams is not all that difficult,"
Not difficult for who, you? No it's not difficult for you. It's not you who has to shower and shave. It's not you who has to arrange schedules around, plan and what not. And it's not you who has to underss yet again for a total stranger and be touched, and touched medically appropriately might I add, because her husband has property issues.
"and the benefit would really outweigh the cost,"
The benefit to whom, are we still talking about you? And "outweigh the cost? At who's expense? I know it's not yours.
"there is just some psychological barrier now where my wife just shut down and won't talk about it."
Hummm, I wonder why that is? I'm just throwing this out here, I could be wrong, but I'm guessing she's pissed, hurt, humilated, scared, and a whole smattering of other things by you suggesting such a thing. And probably she feels like a two bit whore, and if you loved her, in her mind, you would never ues someone you love as a piece of meat, offered up without choice, or much of one anyway, pressured to agree out of her love for you, feelings of guilt or out of fear of making you "mad" or what not.
"if a speculum is used gently and in combination with oral sex and caressing, it can't be that much worse than a dildo?"
Well, I will tell you what, the next time you have a speculum in your vagina, and then a dildo, then you can answer that.
Okay, I have pretty much addressed all the points of your post that I felt needed to be addressed, or you were asking to be addressed. So wrapping it up here as the ride pulls into the station for a complete stop....I leave you with my two opinions, a medical one, and a personal one.
Medically speaking: You my friend have some serious control/anger management issues that really need to be addressed. It could be anxiety related, could be insecurity on your part, it could be a thousand different things. Point is, your behavior and suggestions that your wife go and see multiple doctors for exams so that YOU can deal with your issues is not healthy or appropriate behavior, for either of you. Often times behaviors like this only get worse if they are not dealt with in managable stages/levels. Like I always say, "better living through chemistry". Try Xanax, or Ativan, take 2, they're small, no, just kidding. Seriously though, maybe something not in a benzo class like Seroquel. Think about it.
Now personally speaking, this is where you get both my barrels coming at you, no holds bard. Listen, your behavior, actions, suggestions to your wife concerning this issue actually border very closely to mental abuse. Your possessiveness over her isn't a good thing. We women are flattered by a little, but more so is a huge turn off. Stop making things about you, especially when it requires something so intimate from her. THat's not fair. You know the saying, "if you love something, let it free, if it loves you it will come back." You made her feel like a dirty whore, a piece of meat that you can do with as you want. She feels hurt, ashamed, degraded, and probably on many levels has lost respect for her ownself, both because by you even suggesting such a thing clearly tells her that you don't have any respect for her, and it's just natural, when people have been married long enough, sometimes how they measure their own self worth depends on how much they are valued by the person they love. So congrats, you probably shattered her sprit, made her feel like a dirty whore, ruined your sex life/relationship, and made her feel worthless, all because you are childish, selfish and immature.
But hey, that's just my two cents worth and a little bit extra. And remember, you asked for it, and I just call 'em like I see 'em.
