Lubrication

Do any patients worry that they might not be sufficiently lubricated for the doctor to insert his finger prior to their exam? If so, do any of you try to arouse yourselves somewhat to alleviate this potential problem

Huh? But why do you think gynecologists and other doctors need you to be "sufficiently lubricated" ? They just use lube when they do things like the bimanual exam or putting a speculum in.

They've always seemed to have copious amounts of lubricant on hand whenever I've gone in. Personally, turning myself on to go to the doctor isn't a necessity, as it just seems to happen naturally.

I expect most women (not on zity) don’t find the gyn a particularly arousing part of their day. The dr always uses a ton of lube anyway so my personal wetness level is neither in question or remotely relevant. I love how they give you like 3 tissues as they leave, as if 3 tissues is going to begin to sop up this mess. I need 3 tissues, another handful out of the tissue box, and part of the paper gown I was wearing to get it all off!

GUYS

THIS IS FOR A GYNO EXAM

The question is being asked to women

I have assisted doctors in this procedure many times as a nurse. A lubricant is always used for the bimanual exam and additional lube is applied to the speculum before insertion as required.

My first internal exam was over 20 years ago and I remember it vividly! I had been given a handout a few days before the exam, explaining the procedure. Lubrication was mentioned and I was asked to wash in plain water with no soap before attending the exam and I was quite dry. Nothing much has changed over the years!

A) A little fantasy is OK but 99.99% of women find the gyno the least sexy thing they can do...

B) They tend to use too much lube if not enough LOL

My ob/gyn uses adequate lube not too much and definitely not too little. I feel some seeping after the exam but don't feel like my medical provider uses too much.

In a play exam of course would like to try not having enough with a provider with larger fingers... but in real life a yearly appointment isn't that much of a turn on.

My doctor always uses to much lube I think he puts the full tube ok KY jelly on his fingers

How about wd40 instead?

Surely you jest.
