Has anyone else gone back in the exam room?

My step-mom has gone back in the exam room with me. HAVE YOU EVER HAD A FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND GO BACK IN THE EXAM ROOM WITH YOU, WHEN THE DOCTOR IS INSERTING THE SPECULUM IN YOUR VAGINA?

~ Libby

My wife told me that when she went for her exam before getting married her mom went with her into the exam room. The exam was extensive and embarrassement without saying.

I'm always in the room with my GF watching...

Other's have had their mom in the room, a friend or no one.

My mom was present for my first ever exam (just awful having her watch!) and my now ex-husband was present for several ob visits when I was pregnant. He said it was very stimulating for him to watch another man touch my breasts and know his hand and fingers were between my legs and touch me there. I think a lot of men get turned on by that, yes?

Generally speaking, it's called "cuckolding" and is a popular fetish.

I have gone with my girlfriend to each visit since we started dating about 8 years ago. It has never been a big deal, and she actually likes me to go and hold her hand during the visit. The worst time for her is when she has already changed in to the gown and is waiting for the Dr to come in. She gets really nervous just waiting for that knock on the door. The exam usually goes fast though once the doc comes in.

My mom has been present for most of my exams.

My teenage daughter asked what happen at a female medical and to dispel any myths or fears I took her to one of mine of my annual checkups

Libbygyno,

Was it a complete annual?

Did she assist in the pelvic exam as well? Or even looked?

Thank you

It was a complete physical, I checked with my GP first and he had no problems with it. She could see what was going on but remained seated at all times.

I go with my wife to the gyn all of the time. Out of the blue my wife asked if I could see her cervix and the Dr was happy to show me.

Dear Libby,

Congratulations to you, it is a good thing and sign of how strong the relationship is between you and daughter. Not just that you allowed her in and to watch but that she was comfortable to do so and even to ask about it in the first place.

Karma points plus in my opinion.

Thanks Molly

We have always been best friends, we still argue but that is perfectly normal.

We have always been open with our children and explained things to them when they asked, although it was moderated to take into account their age when they were young. We became a nudist family when we got married, which I think made bringing up the kids was a lot easier.

Yes I guess if nudity is seen as the normality then modesty does not become a problem.

I feel I have a great relationship with my two and have had many talks without excess embarassment but modesty is certainly an issue having not been raised in the same nudist lifestyle as you have.

I guess it actually helps create a positive body image. I wonder if there are any studies which show nudist familes, or lifestyle have lower rates of things such as eating disorders etc.

I agree that there should be some concern about nudity as it relates to creating problems for those that may get out of control sexually. But at the same time I do believe that there is a fine line that may be crossed if its done in such a way that causes shame and lack of self esteem. I truly believe that a person who is not afraid of show themselves has a greater rounded self confidence and positive self esteem than those taught to be scared of being seen.

I understand what you mean doc, but its all matter of time and a place. Nudity on the concept libby is talking about i believe is a good thing (even though i did raise family that way) for the reaosns i previously said.

I don't see how this can lead to low self esteem of shame as you say if that has always been the norm for you.

Its not like popping into town or the shops nude.

When I was growing up I was often naked in front of my mother. She did attend some of my medical exams and I never found it a problem.

Never. My mom offered to go to my first appt with me and I vehemently refused. Up until last year, actually, I've never had anyone else but the dr. in the room with me while my exam was being done.

I now have a male dr. (this past year I've ever gone to a male dr for that sort of exam!) and the female nurse was in the room. I surprised myself by enjoying her presence there.

I have been going with my wife for her exams for years. She also goes with me for my appointments. We have found it very interesting to watch each other being examined but it also makes sure we dont miss something the doctor tells us.

Before I marry her, my wife has gone to see her dermatalogist with her cousin, the guy was 3 years younger than her. My wife had a little rash under her breast. The doc thought they were hubby and wife and asked him to come inside the room as there was no nurse in his clinic that day. The doc made my wife completely naked to check her entire skin. My wife told me that it was the most embarassing day of her life. That was some time ago and I joke to them about that when he visits us.

I've had my mom and bf join me and I've been a guest for want of better word with a friend.

My mom always goes with me. She seemed surprised when I asked the first time as an adult, but I’d rather not do these kinds of exams alone.

My wife has had me go into the exam room with her for some of her gynecology exams and other appointments as well.

I recently had a 2nd saline ultrasound (VERY PAINFUL) and my boyfriend went with me and held my hand because of a I was super nervous and took a Xanax so I couldn’t drive myself. He originally wasn’t going to go back with me but I was still petrified in the waiting room and he promised it wouldn’t be awkward and he just wanted to get me through the appointment. He doesn’t know about my medical fetish and I actually am scared of real doctors, so it wasn’t weird. He stayed up by my head the whole time and was great support. It was only embarrassing when the nurse had me push the liquid (mixed with blood) out onto a pee pad but he didn’t look.

I have had my mom my first time having a pap/pelvic, and my sister a few times in the room with me.

My sister has been in all of mine. I have been to all of hers except her first gyn exam. So I was a little shocked when I told her that I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend and she helped me make the appointment and then started telling me what all goes on. She was wilder than me. She told me everything except about the rectal.

As a child my mom or dad would go back with me. As an adult I had one of my ex gfs go back with me once or twice.

Definately not for my physical exams. If my parents were around, they were in the waiting room and the doctor/nurse would talk to them afterwards (at least once I was old enough to really care.)

I did accompany my wife for some of the early pregnancy exams -- mainly for the ultrasounds -- but then shown out of the room.

I finally got to go back to my wife's annual gyn exam.

She never went until we got married and then it was covid so I was never allowed back even though she always wanted me to come in with her.

Today was her 3rd ever exam and I finally got to go in with no questions asked!!

Yes I’ve been with my wife for several exams. Most recently a few weeks ago. She had an abdominal & rectal exam. I was stood next to the consultant at the end of the table. Wasn’t planned. Just ended up holding her clothes at that end.
