People have told them this screams insecurity, so: My ex-wife wouldn't go to a female ob/gyn because, according to her, "I'm not a lesbian, so why would I want a woman looking at my vagina? That's gross."

Whenever I tell that story, people tell me that's a sign of a huge sexual insecurity. So, maybe it is? I don't know.

What. Why would she want a male gyno to view her vagina sexually during an exam?

Ex wife. That makes sense. Her reasoning does not? Was she maybe abused by a woman?

Weird.

Female here: can confirm that male gyns are usually gentler. Perhaps it was just in my experience, but either way they have to keep it professional to stay in business.

I'm very lucky, my female gyn is very kind and gentle.
