Reply #41: I've done enough research with both sexes to agree 100% [View All]

I would NEVER go to a male gynecologist, even though there are some wonderful ones out there, and some lousy women.

I did a focus group one night with OBGs . By coincidence, the women sat on one side, and the men on the other and it turned into a was between the sexes. The topic was a SERM, a class of drug that is/was being investigated for it's potential to prevent breast cancer, strengthen bones, and maybe even revive sex drive (it's currently given to breast cancer survivors to prevent recurrence)

Anyway, one of the male OBGs said "I wouldn't want my patients taking it and getting all horny and going out and getting an STD". The women were horrified! "I guess if you treated men, you'd avoid Viagra, then?" one of them challenged..

On another topic, a guy said "I don't know why my women patients don't like getting mammograms". The women looked at him, stunned. "Uh, and how eager would you be to get your penis pressed tightly between two cold plates?" They were absolutely stunned by the utter cluelessness of their male colleagues.

Interviewing on the same topic, I was HORRIFIED by how many male OBGs assumed that their women patients over 40 probably wouldn't WANT a revived sex drive, and some younger guys seemed kind of shocked that women over 40 even HAD sex.

That project was enough to convince me -- NO MALE OBGs for me!
