Let's discuss this.

From another board-it's some kind of photostory series about women and their experiences with OB/GYN's. It may not be safe for work. No nudity, but it might not be something you want your co-workers to happen upon you looking at.
Ready to rumble.
Re: Let's discuss this.
I don't know what to think.
I'm going to look at more when I get home. But one of the first ones I clicked on was "ask me about the bruises." That is so sad.
The nerve!

The hair grows in thick where the horn used to be.
I think I agree with you.
The bruises one, for example, would have been just as powerful without, you know, it being on a sign over her vag.

Story 25 of 33 (first one on page 3) called "Birth Rape" is interesting and very likely irritating. Are we now referring to every instance in which a med prof. sticks his / her hand or some random instrument up you "rape." That's ridiculous. During labor I told the doc, "I think I just peed myself." "Oh no - we just broke your water" she responded. I was a little annoyed b/c its not like anyone "asked" if I wanted that done, but that's 800 bajillion light years away from the "R" word.
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
I didn't realize that gyno exams were such a touchy subject. I mean, I don't exactly look forward to mine, but I wouldn't create a website around them, either.

I have two stories I could add to the collection, including one involving FITB (I've told them both here before).
Dr.s performing medical procedures w/o consent is a HUGE NO-NO to me, even something like breaking waters. But, it's no rape for sure.
yep.
for me, it was because I wasn't warned. At all. All of a sudden and out of nowhere, the dude goosed me bareback. It was not appreciated and together with another circumstance w. a male doctor, gave me a real fear of male OBGYNs.
i got that at my 6 week checkup but expected it since i tore to there. she didnt specifically say it and i was glad because i would have puckered and that may have hurt.
she also made me do kegels on her hand to make sure the muscle was functional. awk-waaaard
I remember one exam where the doctor (I forget if it was male or female....they all sort of blend together) kept saying, "Relax this muscle. This muscle right here. Relax it." I was contorting my face every which way attempting to relax a muscle I had never consciously used before. I was probably 19 or so and had never even heard of kegels. To be honest, I doubt I could relax whatever muscle the doc was talking about today.

WTF does this mean?
see, juicy vagina sounds hot to me. Like, ready for sex. I don't know why one's weight would cause extra juice.
though I do find that the more weight I gain the sweatier my thigh pits become (where thigh and groin area meet).
Very melodramatic.
The one about the mom who didn't tell her daughter what to expect in the exam made me really sad.
And I'm with tasty, juicy = sex.

It's a bit much IMO.
That being said OB's perform surgery & exams without consent a lot. If this is their way of feeling better, so be it.
I have heard many women talk about their non consenting to an episiotomy and the doctor never asking but just cutting. Awful.
