Have you ever gotten wet during a gynocological exam?



  • No, there's nothing sexy about it.
  • Only once, and it was embarrassing.
  • Only once, but I wasn't embarrassed.
  • A few times, and it was embarrassing.
  • A few times, but I wasn't embarrassed.
  • Most of the time, and it's embarrassing.
  • Most of the time, but I'm not embarrassed.
  • Almost always, and it's embarrassing.
  • Almost always, but I'm not embarrassed.

You know, I think I've taken a lot of bad press from this poll. Based on the posts, most people seem to think I'm naive, ignorant, or even a pervert for asking this question. But when I view the results of the poll, 20% of the women who responded said that they had gotten wet at least once. But at the barrage of negative remarks from the 80% who responded that it never happens or could never happen, who could blame them for not coming forward and admitting that it had happened. And a lot of people seem to be assuming that the moment of arousal could only happen during the insertion of the speculum or during a pap smear. But how about our exhibitionist friends who might get aroused simply because they are exposed with their legs apart to their doctor? In the "real world," we've all seen the so-called "moral majority" try to dictate what is normal or acceptable. I seriously hope that doesn't happen here.

I doubt very much that if your penis was being clamped(no up and down movement) by an ice cold metal object for 30 seconds, and the tip pinched briefly, that you'd get aroused.

So, simply because you didn't get the results that YOU expected or assumed from your poll, you're concluding that the Moral Majority has taken charge? Please.

You got opinions based on personal experience. No one has anything to gain by lying about that on an anonymous message board!

And no one has said that it might NEVER happen in that situation either. Just that it would be rather unusual if it did. ANYTHING is possible though.

But believe me, simply because this particular exam involves examining the genitalia and breasts, it has nothing to do with sex whatsoever. Maybe as a man you have trouble believing that but it's true.

And I hardly think an exhibitionist would get too excited during a once-a-year exam with a gyno who looks at genitalia all day long! He's seen them all, hers are nothing new or unusual and his reaction won't be what she is hoping for either.

And in case you didn't realize, there is a female nurse in the room during the exam for the drs. protection. So, no, it's NOT a sexy moment when the speculum is being inserted and your rectum is probed. NOT in the least.

I imagine a gyno for a woman is about as exciting as a prostate exam for a guy. NOT!

I think you missed the overall point of my post which was to say that you shouldn't be astounded or offended that many men don't know much about a subject that a lot of women would never discuss with them. If you read my post I actually pointed out that men and women are different in their sexual response and certainly didn't suggest that women SHOULD or DO get aroused during a gyno exam, just that men may not completely understand this as our bodies have different physiological responses. I may be mistaken, but your response to my post seemed to be a bit combative. If I'm mistaken, then my apologies.

No. Not combative at all - just trying to shed some light on some thoughts thrown around.

First of all, I was trying to separate the two. There are "situations" where the woman may become aroused even BEFORE the actual exam. If that's the case, then it will not matter where he touches her because she'll already be aroused. She may even get further aroused during the breast exam, but what I was trying to say was that having a cold-metal object inserted, just isn't stimulating. So other than the breast stimulation, there is NO other stimuli to arouse. But, on the other hand, even if a woman wasn't aroused prior to the exam, if the clitoris was touched, she may react physically, and yes, maybe even if a warm, less rigid object were inserted into her vagina, she may as well...but that's not the case, which is probably *why* most women don't get aroused physiologically - there's just not enough stimuli.

Are you saying that you enjoy prostate exams?

When my DW says "Bend over and relax," I can get excited.

When my DR says "Bend over and relax," I get nervous.

LOL! Especially if you feel BOTH of his hands on your shoulders during the "exam!" LOL!
