Perhaps these OB/GYNs who put posters of naked men on the ceiling just aren’t around any more - maybe they’re the ones GWB said are no longer able to ‘practice their love with women’

None of my OB-GYN has had any pics, no.

Then again all of them use common offices, shared with other public health doctors. You may have Allergology in the morning and a Gyne in the afternoon, in the same office.

Naked pics of hunks doesn’t sound like a good way to get any straight woman to relax. Mind you, whenever I’m told to “achieve the position” and lie there like a calf about to be quartered, it would take a hammer to the head to achieve relaxation.

I’ve never even been to a practicioner’s office with posters on the ceiling, but naked/nude men would seriously disturb me. I don’t find pictures of men in a state of undress (as an end in itself) appealing in the least. But even if I did, I don’t see how having them in a gyno office would RELAX me.
