My girlfriend (bless her heart) is a urologist, and time and again people (especially males) ask me if I am not bothered by the fact that she TOUCHES male patients DOWN THERE on a daily basis.
For some reason, we tend to sexualize the medical profession, but what many of use don’t seem to get is the fact that the guys she handles down there are patients, and these patients need their genitals examined for a medical reason. And for your information: there’s nothing sexy about a little shriveled knob of skin which oozes pus.
So no, it doesn’t bother me at all (and she also has female patients, for that matter).
All patients receive the same respect and care, and whether a patient is male or female doesn’t make an iota of difference.
The sad truth is that for some patients, the gender of their doctor seems to be more important than his or her expertise. Female patients who refuse to have a male OB/GYN touch them down there, male patients (usually Muslims) who refuse to be examined in the genital area by a female urologist: it happens, but rarely —
Most modesty issues occur in the knob of the beholder.
