I can only imagine how uncomfortable an exam must be, so I would assume they would use lubrication to make it more bearable.

minus-squareBipauler@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-212 hours agoI always heard the cold was bad. Also I always heard a obgyn with “sausage fingers” didn’t help either. Just a side note: I am not the proud owner of a vagina. Although I have been in the room ladies are getting checked up on in. The thing that’s always fucked me up is speculums. Those things look sort of frightening. Duck bill ass torture devices or something.
