Although specifically aimed at the female members I do think this topic can be equally applicable to the male members of out little community. The disparity between a doctor's and patient age is more applicable to us as children or young adults . Regardless of the sex of the doctor , its always somewhat anxiety provoking when nudity is involved in an examination
During our formative and teen years its always difficult when we have to undress for a doctor's exam as we all experience feeling of anxiety, embarrassment as our body's change and develop especially if its involves examination of our genitals , whether your are male or female. This is further compounded if you have to see a doctor of the opposite sex as is often the case.
As Nikki as mention for the majority of us , erotic or sexual thoughts at the time of the exams are the furthest thing from our thoughts., in hindsight/reflection some sexual elements may come into our thoughts , fantasies etc and may contribute to us developing medfet tendencies.
During the exam I'm able to totally switch off any erotic thoughts or feelings that I may have . But then happily have some very happy erotic memories for fun times .
As we get older then the disparity in age is revered as we are older than the doctor and we are less anxious about nudity . However we do at times now question the skills , knowledge and expertise of the younger doctor. We also become more conducive to letting the younger doctors and medical students exam us and learn about our conditions , treatment etc . As quite frankly at times we are more knowledgeable about our condition and treatment than they are .
As highlighted by Nikki:
I never say anything if the dr is younger than me even a junior. I just let them do their job . I regularly am a patient for the trainees on ward rounds and also when they take their end of year exams .
