External exam

This is the part of the exam that really gets me. I feel like most people enjoy speculum exams, so was just wondering if anyone out there can relate...?

My wife say her GYN spreads her lips open and looks at her clit. Is this a common practice with most GP and GYNs? But this GYN foes not do a rectal. Go figure!

In my roleplays I like the external exam very much. It´s the first intimate touch. I like to palpate the labias and spread them to take a look.

My wife say her GYN spreads her lips open and looks at her clit. Is this a common practice with most GP and GYNs? But this GYN foes not do a rectal. Go figure!

Yes, it is. It's very important to visually inspect the external genitalia, as many disease or health issues can be seen there. In purely gynaecological terms, the rectal exam is used to assess the posterior (back) side of the uterus and cervix. Many patients (perhaps most these days, unless the woman in question has similar proclivities to the ones users of this site have) find this procedure difficult to tolerate, perhaps due to changing societal norms. By and large these days we find anything to do with bottoms unacceptable, rightly or wrongly. So, if the doctor feels he has adequately assessed the health of the uterus and cervix vaginally, he or she will miss out the rectal exam.

I completely agree, and yet it is not as discussed on these boards, stories etc.

Could it be the fact that rectal and recto-vaginal examinations are more common in some countries than others?

The external exam for me is one of the more intimate moments

The external portion of the pelvic is exciting for a number of reasons--it's usually immediately after the first exposure of the genitals; it's the first touch in that area as well; the patient is still anticipating the internal exam; and, of course, the clitoris is there.

I love the external portion of the pelvic exam as well. If I am having a play Doc exam, then the Doc has warmed me up by doing an extensive breast exam and I am wet and ready for whatever is coming next. When I asked to move down to the end of the table as far as possible and the play Doc places his hands on my knees and begins to spread my legs open, my insides warm up and I am so ready! So ready for the warmth of the exam light to spotlight my most private lady parts knowing the play Doc is seeing everything that is normally kept hidden.

The whole taboo part that I am on display to this Doctor and yet, this is okay, because he is a Doctor, well, the whole thing just gets me ready to explode 😃.

Lady Teddy, Makes me wish I was a doctor :-) Mike.

As a male, believe it or not, my internist actually says to me during each annual exam "Now I'm going to begin with the external genital exam" -- I go WILD as I know that this marks the very beginning of the entire uro-genital examination. By the way, he often, but not always (unfortunately) then says, "I'm now going to examine your peri-annal region" - I have the EXACT words committed to memory - and trust me - I dream about them - because it's now that the precum is starting to form...

I borrowed this technique and trump it up as much as possible when I play, but you know that for sure by now!

I agree with DrYesss's comments...

Any of opinions on why real doctors skip the external and go straight to the pap? My wife had 3 different male docs in her life, and she said none of them ever did an external. I was thinking they didn't do one if a woman was older and low risk for STDs.

I then asked a female ob-gyn on a pay per question website, and she said that doctors skip it sometimes because they already see the external genetalia when they're inserting the speculum, so there's no need for a separate external exam.

I understand the need to preserve modesty and limit exposure, but it seems it would be more of a liability to overlook something by skipping part of the exam. My primary interest is realistic play exams, but I don't want to include an external exam if they never happen in reality...

My wife's doctor doesn't skip the external exam - I've been with her as he does it. It's usually fairly subtle but definitely one of the more intimate parts of the exam. Like DrYesss said it immediately follows the first exposure of her privates to the doctor. He usually touches her inner thigh before anything else, both to warn her of the impending touch and to help her legs apart further.

I like the external too... It really is under rated here.

Hannah,

Is it the anticipation of the more invasive exam to come that turns you on? The tactile sensation of fingers on the external genitalia combined with the realization of the inevitable penetration of your vagina?

It seems similar to the visceral response during the abdominal exam where the doctor slides a hand inside your panties or when he lifts the waistband of your panties.

I would question the thoroughness of any doctor who skips the external genitalia exam. There are so many things that could go undetected. Bartholin's or Skenes Gland cysts, for example.

I don't like the speculum exam very much because it can be unpleasant sometimes but instead i like when the doctor examines my clitoris and my external genitalia.

How do you ensure a real doc does an external exam? Do you have to ask for it? I don't understand why so may docs skip it...

Lady Teddy did a great job of explaining the emotions involved on the external exam. Opening your most private parts to his gaze for the first time...

Hardly ever does my gyno do an external.

I love the external exam and everything that it entails, it's just such an intimate and personal part of the pelvic exam. Part of what makes it so enjoyable is that it immediately follows the 'getting positioned in the stirrups' portion, which I also find very exciting. So the whole start to the pelvic is such an incredible rush of feelings, and I sort of see it as all one, from putting my feet up right through the external.

I love the exposure of the exam, being so open, on display to the doctor's view, the feelings of awkwardness and vulnerability when my feet are in the stirrups. Having to get positioned in the stirrups still creates some butterflies in my belly, that nervous excitement of having to do so and what is to follow. The thoughts later of having the doctor sit down and roll up between my legs, instructing me to scoot down more and let my legs fall open to the side, having to comply, initially opening my legs and showing myself, feeling the doctor's first gaze on my most intimate anatomy, and then laying there with my knees wide apart for the doctor, who is essentially a stranger, waiting to be visually inspected is incredibly arousing.

I very much enjoy the thoughts of being subjected to the close inspection, having that bright exam lamp aimed up between my splayed thighs, hearing the CLICK as it goes on, feeling the warmth of its brightness shining directly on me, knowing it's fully illuminating my vulva, my perineum and my anus - my crotch - and further exposing me to the doctor's visual inspection, making me feel totally on display. Oh the embarrassment of it, I think I'm blushing even now! 😃 And feeling the first touch of those gloved fingers on my inner thighs, while typically being told to relax my knees out further. Then the doctor is touching my genitalia, moving all over my vulva, clinically and deliberately, yet gently, but not in a romantic way at all. Such a different touch, a strange yet wonderful feeling.

I love the feel of the gloved fingers separating my labia, knowing I am being so intently looked at, all my pink folds being opened to the doctor's view. Feeling the fingers move from the top of my lips to the bottom, starting with pulling my hood back to visualize my clitoris and working down to my introitus, with a fingertip slipping in just past my entrance, palpating around my opening. But not stopping there, feeling the gloved fingers moving down over my perineum and then still further down as I feel them separate my cheeks as the doctor does a visual inspection of my anus, always making me blush even more, knowing my little pucker is clearly visible under the bright exam light and being stared at by my doctor. Then fingers are pulled away and I am laying there, very aware of my situation and what is next, then confirmed as I hear the clanking of the metal as the doctor prepares the speculum for insertion.

Jill, and while examining your pucker ... inhaling to gather all of your scents!

Great description jill2doctor, thanks!

Jill, I could not have put it any better. Whilst in a very clinical mannor its so much more intimate then the speculum. Love that intial touch, the gentle spreading of labia feeling so open and exposed..It is these extenral exams that begun my med fet.

Jill, you summed it all up very well!

Great summery Jill. Thank you for taking the time to post it.

Thank you all for your kind comments, happy to share and glad you enjoyed!

Jill, I was trying to visualize yoir scenario, and I noticed that you never mentioned your doctor's sex...I'm guessing it's a woman?

Dr Stiffler,

I've been examined by both sexes, and while each is different and exciting in its own way, I am just as aroused by the external exam with a female or male doctor doing it. My enjoyment of being in the stirrups and the external exam isn't dependent on the sex of the doctor, which is why I wrote my feelings about it from the doctor gender neutral perspective. And by the way, I currently see a male gynecologist.

I was trying to visualize your story with a male doc, but that's great that you can enjoy it either way. Unfortunately for me, I only enjoy being examined by attractive females; or attractive females being examined by males.
