Do you prefer male or female REAL doctors

I preferred female doctors for my first few gynecologist appointments, but I move around a lot and have seen many different doctors. I've had good and bad experiences with both genders.

Most of my favorite doctors have been older men, but I don't really have a preference right now.

Male, in general. I kind of like the idea of them having the same plumbing. That way they also know what it's like from personal experience.

I have had a good female doc though that I saw throughout graduate school.

At first I thought I would only ever want to see a female, but after college going to a clinic with male and female doctors, I found the males to be better!

As a male I must say I prefer a female doctor, my current doctor is a female but I have had a male doctor in the past. I am much more comfortable standing exposed in front of a female. Also females are much more gentle examining testicles and examining for a hernia than a male, men tend to be more rough and instead of a pleasurable experience it may actual hurt. Females have smaller fingers and are way more erotic and gentle when doing a prostate exam

Like most people, I want the best doctor I can get and it doesn't matter if they're male or female. However, when offered a choice, I always choose male. I have a dozen doctors (literally) with more to come. Only two are females; my nephrologist and the endocrine surgeon that I'll be seeing on Monday for the first. The coldest doctor I know, with the worst bedside manner is a female surgeon. She kind of set the tone for everything that followed.

Female is best for me. In my experiences, which are limited, females have been friendlier and more concerned.

I would like have a female doctor examine me and be my GP. But I have always had a male. I would be up for a change. 😃

As I have only ever had a male doctor examine me, I would like to have a female doctor examine me to see how different it is. There are many reports that the exam feels very different when performed by a female.

My preference is any doctor who treats me like a person, not a set of symptoms. I've had male and female, MDs, NPs, and PAs. My experience is that female NPs and PAs tend to be more proactive and preventative minded than MDs, especially male MDs.

Currently, my primary doc is a female PA, my cardiologist is male, but my urologist is female.

My current primary doctor is female and I feel much more comfortable talking to her or being examined by her then I have with any male doctor. She also seems to be more caring and genuinely concerned with my health, she even stays to chat, trying to get to know me after the exams are over.

She's also very gentle with my uh... male anatomy which is always appreciated.

I prefer male doctors ,no doubt

I really like the excitement associated with a female doctor. BEsides, they have smaller fingers!

I have had several female physicians (I prefer them - they seem to listen more!),

and aside from a wry smirk if I develop an erection during an examination nothing

has ever come from it.

More's the pity - one or two of my docs were hot!

Male---never had a female except for a dermatologist 1x who did a very minimal exam

I also prefer the most qualified doctor to look me over, male or female. Beyond that I have found over the years that the female doc is more gentle and thorough than a male doc. Thats been my findings. I have had male doctors that tell me "it could be worse" or "I've seen worse than that" and I have had female doctors that tell me "that should be looked at in more detail by a specialist". I once had a male doc tell me I was young and seemed to be in good health so lets talk sports for a bit and then told me he had a headache that wouldn't quit and said he might go home after I left. So yeah, I would choose a female doc over a male doc any day.

My male Dr is just business all the time, and when I go for a checkup it's always just hurry up and get it over with... The female DR I had several years ago would take time to talk and discuss problems and procedures. I felt she was more interested in me and my health.

Competence, not gender, is the reason I select my doctors.

I guess I'm not as health-conscious and just shallow. Not only I have to see a male doctor, I make a point on selecting them by their pictures! If I'm going to be naked, might as well be for a good-looking doctor. Of course this only applies for routine physicals, when nothing is wrong.

I have a male doctor now, but I don't really have a preference. I don't mind a female doctor, either. I've only had one female doctor really examine me, though.

I always get an appointment with a female doctor. It's much more pleasurable. Although for medfet play I don't mind either.

I too would naturally prefer the more competent physician, male or female.

That being said though I have to say that in my experience females doctors are more likely to listen attentively to what you have to say and take what you've told into account. And in my experience again, they do seem to be more friendly and less pre-occupied with other matters and in far less of a hurry to get an examination or procedure over with. That gives an impression of being more thorough.

And thinking back on many doctors consultations and examinations and what not all, I have to admit that only once to my knowledge did a doctor really mess things up with me, medically speaking, giving a completely wrong diagnosis which later was cause for some very serious repercussions medically speaking. It so happened that that one particular (pig-headed and stubborn) doctor was an older male specialist who really messed things up for me.

So perhaps I have a preference for female doctors in general. None of them has ever been off the mark, while the one male doctor who was off the mark, was so far off, that it left me with a bad general impression of male doctors.

I prefer male docs !!!!

I prefer male docs but it depends what it is I guess.

I'm with those who prefer a male doctor. No real reason, just think I'd be more comfortable with a male.

GP is Fem, Gyn Male (always) Specialist is who ever i find that is "good" but a majority of my Dr's are male just because the choice is limited.

All five doctors at my surgery are female so I dont have much choice. Im happy with it though

From a medical point it is professionalism that counts. nevertheless, one feels attracted to females...

I seem to prefer male doctors since the last 3 or 4 that I have had are male and about my age give or take a few years. However I have been examined by female providers on a few occasions and found the experience to be pleasant. I think like the last poster that their professionalism and knowledge counts for more than gender.

I prefer male doctors. I went to a female once and was very embarassed. Not for me!

Definitely female doctors. I feel females are more respectful and it's more exciting.
