I've heard in some cultures where women don't go to male doctors but I think that is a really bad idea because the best doctor in your area might be a male doctor. I have a really good male obgyn and I've gone to him for over 20 years.
He's gone through a lot with me. A pregnancy, a really, really bad postmenopause and he removed some precancerous cervical cells which were not HPV related. He watched me bawl in a hormonal haze about my marriage problems due to my ex drinking and he looked right at me and told me it's not going to get better. He let me get a HPV vaccine even though other professionals say I'm too old to have one but I figure better safe then sorry.
Is he perfect? No I think he's made some mistakes along the way with my care but there have been more pluses and minuses. He's going to retire at some point because he's well into his 60s so I'll have to start all over again with someone new. Check to see if the man you are going has a good rating online and on yelp. I've gone to some female doctors who I did not like and some I do.

No. He is not overreacting. He doesn't trust another man to do such things, and look, he is a man, he should know how another man would react seeing you. Either way he is your husband, do listen to him before you may lose him. You married him for a reason. No matter what you feel on the matter, at leats honor him. But if you do get a male always HAVE a female assistant in the room. It is the law for a female to be there.

Is this a good gynaecologist? Does he have good reviews? Is he knowledgeable/experienced/trustworthy? Will you be getting the best possible care?
When it comes to your health, those are the only issues that should concern him. It shouldn't matter if the doctor has a penis or a vagina, only whether his wife is receiving the best doctor/care that she can get.
Yes, I think he's overreacting. If you were seriously injured, and needed CPR, would he let you die, rather than let a male doctor touch your chest?
Well, he has made a bad choice showing weakness and ugly jealousy but its not like there isn't substance to it.
I know you are all going to cry professional, but I am a professional too and while I might not do anything inappropriate in my working environment I dont cease to be human.
Well everything seems to be nice and tight and as it should be Mrs Honeybee and may say what a beautiful cunt you have, it was an absolute pleasure doctoring for you.

It’s a doctor. Tell him to grow up and get over it. No offense but why would you marry a guy so immature?
Oh for christs sake! Are you in the habit of shagging the people who provide health care to you?
No?
Then he needs to just effin relax.
I see you are 20. Im betting that makes him 24 or younger. As a group, early 20s guys are the most jealous men on the planet. They live each day with the fear that the girl that hung around to deal with his bullshit juuust might wander off.
Good luck with that one, honey.That's between you two. If you are a very attractive girl, there's a secret I can tell you: male doctors are human. Don't believe that? I know it's true because I know many doctors. I hear what they say at parties. Of course they are professional but what your husband probably doesn't like is the idea of him looking at that part of your body that closely and feeling an attraction. Whether or not you should see a male gynecologist is up for you two to talk about though.
Honestly? If you have the option of going to a female gyno, why not just switch? If I were in his shoes, it'd be less about the actual prospect of a male gyno examining her body, and more about the fact that she was so insistant on specifically seeing a male one, on principle of not "giving in", that it outweighed her desire to make me feel secure and comfortable in our relationship--especially when she'd know damn well that I'd do the same for her.
Is there a reason to go to a man... spread eagle, bright light, 100% graphic exposure?
If you can choose either sex... you can even choose not to go, why intentionally stress your marriage if he doesn't want a guy to see you that way?
So you have the 100% choice to go to either gender but you are choosing the one that stresses your marriage?
It is your choice.
Deal with the extra stress.Yeah, I don't care what gender my wife's gyno is. Go with whoever you feel is most qualified or you are most comfortable with. My wife's OB/GYN is male, I have no problem with it. Last time I went to a urologist, it was a female urologist. I highly doubt she had an issue with that either.
He’s overreacting and sounds like he has insecurity issues , what’s the gynecologist going to do have sex with you? He c’s vaginas everyday , I don’t think he is going to lose his job and take the chance of getting kicked in the balls lol
Is it important for you to go to a male one? If it is, then why is it important?
If not, then why not just change? It would be easy. Why purposely do something that bothers your SO when it isn't even important to you?Yeah no dude is sticking his finger in my wife. WTF. Why is this even a question? Should he have a girl play with his cock and balls a little, give em a rub and put their face right up to it so close he can feel her breath on his dick? I mean if you are all into this stuff maybe try an open relationship?
overreacting i think. these are professionals, is he really choosing his jealousy over your health and well being?
When it comes to your own health what your husband what’s is irrelevant. Are you comfortable with a male gynecologist? If not, and you don’t really have an immediate concerns there is no harm in asking to see someone else.
Yeah he's being ridiculous. My last girlfriend pointed out that there's usually a wait for a female Gynecologist despite making up the majority of the field. If you agree to this i guarantee it won't end here.
how old is your husband?
if he is around your age group then he has major insecurity as most guys around your age group do have insecurity (18 - 30)
if he is older.. still insecurity
its your choice.. his role as a husband is to support you and promote you.. not to tell you what to do.. he has no legal authority over your bodyIt's understandable. You can just take a new appointment with a woman this time, I think it's better rather than fighting about this. This is a stupid fight that can be easily avoidable.
He's not over reacting. You doing go to a female gynecologist anyway. A male one only if a female isn't available and you need an appointment quickly.
Lol i never thought about this one yes i am with him on this one men are all the same even doctors they have the same sex drive not saying they won't be professional and behave but if you are hot and your legs are spread open ahem 😳
Just find one that's old and ugly. That's the next best thing. But in reality, yes he's overreacting, but putting up with unreasonableness is the foundation of every relationship. Find an ugly ass, old gyno. Problem solved.
He is overreacting, doctors are ethical in that regard its not a sexual act.
He is way over reacting. Should you ever require emergency surgery shall he also insist that your surgeons, anesthesiologist, nurses, techs, are also all women? After all, they all see you too?
I prefer females looking at my dick... I just feel they're better suited for looking at junk.
