Nah I had one, think of how many vaginas they see a day! They are probably desensitized to it. Their poor wives.
by Lady Alathia of Vulcan on April 1st, 2008
I've never gone to a male gyno, and I don't think I could.
How could a man POSSIBLY explain to me what labor will feel like any more than I can explain what it feels like to be kicked in the testicles?
by Teasdale on February 5th, 2008
It's just a job to them. I go to a practice of 5 men and 1 woman and I'd be comfortable seeing any of them. As long as you feel comfortable with your doctor's professionalism and ability, that's what matters.
by Galeanda on March 10th, 2008
I have as my first one was male, first two actually. When I first started going to them, there just weren't many women doctors. It's not weirder than any other doctor's visit. I don't like a woman doing what they do either. It's just plain strange whoever is 'down there'.
by BeccaBaby on August 24th, 2008
Yes, it was for me. I had to switch to a woman.
by Zebra Girl on August 22nd, 2008
Te only time it was weird or uncomfortable was when I was pregnant with my third child and I mentioned to him that sex hurt. He asked what position it happened in and I said, "Doggy-style". My OBGYN went on with a five minute speech on how doggy-style was his favorite position...with gestures, etc. Then, he says,"Don't tell your husband I said that." I chose a different OBGYN after that.

I would imagine it to be uncomfortable.
by ladybug on February 5th, 2008
Actually, I had both, and the male was better and more comforting than the female. It doesn't matter. they are professionals.
by Anonymous on October 8th, 2008
I had a very painful and humiliating experience with a male doctor who essentially finger-raped me, dismissed my pain and misdiagnosed my problem which landed me in the hospital for ten days fighting a major infection. Luckily I fond a female doctor who with only a glance could see that I was in serious danger and got me the help I needed.
I believe that there are highly competent male gynecologists out there, but to pretend that doctors are not human and products of our culture is a bit deluded. Many many men have issues when it comes to women - the media bombards them with images of sexualized females. Whether they see so many vaginas that it is no longer sexualized makes no difference, they are still a male human examining a female human. If that is a woman's comfort zone, then great, but to pretend that the lens of gender does not exist in the examining room denies reality.
by Symbeline on August 24th, 2008
The one I saw was female, and she was completely heartless. She was extremely rough, and pretty rude, too.
She was bad enough that when I left I started crying lol.
Next time I'll find a male one.
by girlpower on May 11th, 2008
I've had both and it's no more uncomfortable with either sex.
by Merfish on March 22nd, 2008
Only once, it creeped me out that he asked me to lunch after the exam. Never again.
by logicandcommonsense on December 13th, 2010
LOL! Of course men are going to be more gentle, they want you to come back, plus they dont want you to ask them to stop...thats your first clue right there! They're pervs, don't act like for a second they're there because they just "happened" to become one or because they worry about women. These guys get off on it and I would never let my wife or daughter go to a male GYN. You know why? Because just as men doctors don't fully understand female bodies, because they've never been a female, women don't understand how men's minds work, because theyve never been MEN. All men, trust me, have some sort of perversion about them. They're horny and thousands of years of evolution isn't going to disappear because they're "professional" now. Paying a guy to finger you, wow...can it get any better?
by JuJubee is wearing a COAT of chocolate on November 29th, 2008
I have always had a male gynecologist, until recently. I was never uncomfortable. Then when I had a lady gyn. I really liked her alot.
by Anonymous on November 13th, 2008
Don't ever forget this. A man may be your gynecologist, but they are MEN. They never forget what it is like to finger a vagina and no matter how many times they may see one in a day... they are MEN and they can not be trusted ever. Women tend to say that to comfort themselves and justify why their gyno is so great, blah blah blah... No matter how many women's asses they see in a day, they are red-blooded men and you are deceiving yourselves to think they are there for your benefit. they are there because they feel like they need to have some control over womens bodies and this is the only way they know how. they know intimate details of your anatomy that would make your husbands lose their minds.
Men in the gyn profession is creepy. Plain and simple.
Believe it.
by Molly says whos YOUR Tiger on October 22nd, 2008
Yes, my first was a male. After that, I've chosen women. It was very uncomfortable, especially as a teenager.
by Lady Lavender on June 11th, 2008
So far I have never been to a male gynecologist.
by fast4u on November 20th, 2009
I am 32 y female and I had a very bad experience with male gyno. Two years back I visited my male gyno to complain about vaginal discharge. He put me on the examination table and asked me to relax. There was no one in the room. He examined my vagina closely for 10 minutes. He touched it and inserted his finger in it (without gloves). He kept fingering me for around 10 minutes. I closed my eyes for some time and suddenly I felt that he has inserted his penis in my pussy. I shouted but there was no one came for my help. He kept fucking me for 5 minutes and came inside me. After he finished he asked me to leave. I got so scared I didn't tel it to my husband as he would kill me if come to know about this incident. Now I have a female gyno who I don't like either but I have no other choice
by cpl_of_freaks on November 11th, 2009
I have had a male gynecologist and it was very uncomfortable for me. The fact that he was hot didnt help.
by alwayscurious on July 27th, 2009
Yes, I have been to a make GYN several times. My GYN right now is a woman though. I had been uncomfortable in the past w/the male GYN's, but probably would not be now. But I like the GYN I go to right now, so I would not change.
by Evanfris25 on July 8th, 2009
ok i am a guy and cant say one way or the other. but i have been to a few visits with my wife. now when i was in Irvine, California we had a doctor who was a girl. but oh man she was so funny. she had signs all over the celling to read while you are looking up. and the funny thing i loved best was she had this huge 3 foot wooden dowel that had cotton balls glued to it to look like a huge q-tip. and she would come in and say ok i just need to get a pap smear just relax as she was holding it. i almost fell over laughing. then she said oh you have not had the baby yet this a precheck up. well maybe after the baby then. omg, i was in stitches. but the last line made my wife nervous. she is like i wont be that wide will i ? and of course not. it snaps right back. you cant ever tell. so dont worry about that ladies.
by Gone. on November 29th, 2008
If you don't mind I will answer on behalf of my wife. She much prefers males than females. She told me the men are way more gentle than the females. Often times after being examined by a woman, she's experienced pain. I on the other hand as a man, would in all honesty prefer a woman doing it. But it's her vagina, not mine :)
by Sarita1 Goes Bollywood on October 21st, 2008
I love my male ob/gyn. He is very nice (older man) and he is the best! I even recommended him to a friend of mine that had stage 4 ovarian cancer.
You have to be completely honest and at ease with your gyno so you need to find someone of either sex that you feel really comfortable with.
Good luck.
by mszariyah on October 21st, 2008
I have had a male and he was very good. I think we have to research your doctors a great deal.
by BlueJordan on October 21st, 2008
I have a male gyno. He's amazing, professional, kind, gentle ( alleluiah!) and even good looking to boot! lol The only downside is that he possibly can't know exactly what everything feels like for us chicas.
by SloaneRanger on October 17th, 2008
I have had male gyns before. They were fine and not weird at all. I prefer a woman gyn, myself. Mainly because they understand from their own experience what you mean when you describe certain symptoms.
by slbcgirl on October 17th, 2008
When I have to have a gyno exam I find it easier to have a female and for me I am white but also find a female black dr to be easier for me than a white dr also they seem more understanding
by COLE AND BRYNNES MAMA on October 15th, 2008
MY FIRST WAS A WOMAN, SO WHEN I MOVED I HAD TO SWITCH AND ITS A GROUP OF ALL MEN EXCEPT ONE AND I ACTUALLY FELT MORE UNCOMFORTABLE AROUND THE LADY BY THE TIME I HAD HER...I WAS USED TO THE MEN AND THEY MADE ME FEEL EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE. AND I WAS PREGNANT SO I WAS THERE QUITE A BIT. NOW I WOULDNT CHANGE THEM FOR ANYTHING...THEY DO A GREAT JOB AND I LOVE THEM. ITS NOT LIKE THEY HANG OUT DOWN THERE...THEIR IN AND OUT.
by MzAdventure on August 24th, 2008
i made a point of going to an office that all of the gyn's were women. it creeped me out thinking that this strange man would see me in all of my glory. i'm sure they are extremly professional but i can't have strangers sticking their hand inside me and poking around, and feeling on my breasts at least not without a dinner and a movie first lol. i just felt comfortable choosing a woman because she would know how i felt. a friend had a male gyno and he messed her up, sewed her wrong after the birth of a child. i don't mind a male doctor anywhere else i just thought i'd leave that area to the ladies lol
by Saranwrap on May 11th, 2008
I have had a two males examine me, and they have both been professional in their mannerisms. At first I was unsure about it, and before I let them examine me I asked questions like "why did you choose to be a GYN?" etc. to kind of get a feel for them..
also, normally a female nurse is present
And, the male doctors were GENTLER in examining me than the females were!!! Figure that one out..??
Hope that helps!
by Nursing Student on April 27th, 2008
i actually prefer a guy to be mine. he knows that women hurt and if a woman does it then she is really rough and its just all wierd when a woman is a gynecologist for another woman
by Lord Knows on April 1st, 2008
I have and would again. I just had a major issue with him trying to let me know how contractions feel.
by Curiosity didnt kill the cat. I did. on March 22nd, 2008
it was awful. he wasn't at all professional, and he didn't put me at ease. Also, I was having a serious problem and he wrote it off as a yeast infection. I got a second opinion, and it definitely wasn't a yeast infection. Then he didn't recognize my mother, who also goes to him, as one of his patients. I can sort of understand that if you only go in for a yearly and you have alot of patients, but listen to the excuse he gave: "oh sorry, i guess i didn't recognize you with your clothes on." i am NOT joking!
by Babycakes Deux on March 10th, 2008
Over the years, because we've moved so often, I have had several male gynecologists and two female gynecologists. I was only uncomfortable with one of the gynos, and it happened to be one of the ones that was male. He is the only male gyno I ever went to who made me FEEL like I was naked. I never went back to him. But, on the whole, both male and female gynos were very professional. As I've been going through menopause, it's been very helpful to see a female because she has experienced many of the things that I'm now experiencing. +5
by justme32 loves the weekends on March 10th, 2008
I have only had one female gyno and her husband was in the same office. I never knew which one I would get. It doesnt bother me either way though.
by Andy Is Wicked Married to Penal Colony on March 10th, 2008
I have and I did not find it weird or uncomfortable at all. I thought the male ones were more professional and I was more comfortable with them actually.
by Greekgod on March 10th, 2008
My wife was much happier with her gyne(male) than the woman she had.
by Ashley on March 10th, 2008
I agree... I see a male doc and he is very professional. I seem to think that I would maybe be more uncomfortable with a woman doc for some reason.
by Brooke on November 2nd, 2009
Men can be O.K. but they can be exploitive too. I went to one who played with my clitoris until I had an orgasm all the while talking to me about health and hygeine. Was that embarrassing.
by Sam on July 11th, 2009
i've had one and i thought it would be weird the first time i went to see him but it wasnt as weird as i thought it was!!!
by Alice on June 28th, 2009
Women are definitely make me feel more at ease then men. I recently had to change doctor's. He's OK, but I made my husband stay in the room with me during my checkup. I was not thrilled.
by blommetjie on June 17th, 2009
No and I never will! I found a lady and she is great...well it is still awkward!!!!1
by -_You Can Leave Your Hat On....- on June 14th, 2009
in england the majority of gynaes are male
by helen on April 6th, 2009
yes i have. actually i've had both male and female.
they're both great, though i think the male doctors tend to be more sensitive, perhaps it's because they don't know what we're feeling. i had a woman in the past and she was insensitive. i now have a woman again and she's great.i guess a doctor is a doctor.
by Teresa on March 31st, 2009
I've never seen a gynaecologist -- I don't have a regular doctor, either. For all of my pap smears etc. I've gone to various clinics. Once a male doctor did my exam. I did not mind. Actually, I felt more relaxed. I generally do feel more relaxed with men. Also, he was very gentle. I've had women that rip me up down there -- seriously, once I was bleeding for days. (I'm not saying it's because he was a man that he was gentle -- it's due to individual personality, I'm sure.)
by Murderdolly8 on March 7th, 2009
my male gyno is much more gentler than the female i used to see. and it's not uncomfortable because he's not young and hot lol, plus theres always a female nurse in the room with him
by Rabbit on February 27th, 2009
Yes and yes it was uncomfortable. I never go to a man for that sort of thing anymore. They can't relate to how uncomfortable the whole experience is, physically and mentally. The male doctor that I did go to used to shove a finger up your a**, to check for blood in the stool, which was horrible! Of course, you'd flinch, and he'd say "I know, I don't make a lot of friends that way." LOL
by ICU says April is Autism Awareness Mo. on February 11th, 2009
well, I do prefer a female gyn. I didn't use to but as I get older, I just get self conscience. I feel more relaxed, and this also reminds me that I just got that "its time" letter in the mail. So gotta make my appt. take care...relax it only lasts a few minutes and it's once a year! :) keep healthy.
by Anonomous on February 11th, 2009
Here it is your GP's job and if it's a man it's a man and you can't do anything about it.
by Nancy on February 11th, 2009
Most of the gynecologists I've had have been male. The only time I ever felt uncomfortable in my lifetime was when I was laying there in a sheet and the doctor I was expecting didn't come in. In his place, a new doctor, who I swear looked to be about 12 did! I asked him, LOL, "how old are you". He laughed and told me that I wasn't the first to ask that. Actually, I ultimately ended up being so comfortable with him that when he opened his own practice, I started going there.

I have wondered about that for years myself. After seeing 'every shape and size' all day long, how does a male gynecologist manage to get excited about his wife/girlfriend?
by Old School on February 5th, 2008
I'm a guy, but I just wonder what their inspiration was for specializing that that field =/

They want to deliver babies...
by Fun on March 9th, 2008
Oh yeah you're right that sounds like a blast.
by Daneca on March 9th, 2008
I am with you. Besides, the doctor is a stranger to me so why should I care?
by Peipei on February 23rd, 2009
Just guessing, but being a gynecologist might be related
to curing STD's. Like AIDS, etc. It's killing so many people
that possibly the guy or woman decided to take part in it.
Maybe even they have known somebody who has one of these
or even died from them.
.
As for:
"I have wondered about that for years myself. After seeing
'every shape and size' all day long, how does a male
gynecologist manage to get excited about his wife/girlfriend?"
.
Just because You know something, doesn't make You stop
getting biological reactions unless they are repressed
through some psychological mechanism. Just because You
know that we have a skeleton and how it's constructed
doesn't make everyone look like a skeleton to You and
feel as though everyone is the walking dead. Or just
because You've seen all kinds of food, doesn't make
You less hungry when it's time to eat.
.
Besides, after all the porn guys are watching they should
ALL be desensitized to their wives/girlfriends too
by the same reasoning.
