I have a problem. It just so happens that my doctor is my husband’s best tennis pal. At times I feel confused at how I should behave in front of this human being due to the fact that only hours before he has seen me in some provocative positions. We are talking gynocologist. Gyno, pussy doctor, baby doctor. Oh don’t get me wrong. I could change doctors. But for some reason I get a sudden turn on by the fact that this guy that we are sitting with at dinner knows me like no other man besides my husband. I look at him across the table and wonder if he sees me, or the woman lying on his examining table. I try to engage in interesting conversation, but my thoughts still return to the private office visit we had just hours before. Should I smile innocently at him? Innocent!!! He has just seen me at close range with my legs spread eagle. Should I act intelligent? For some reason I don’t feel a necessity for stimulating conversation. I feel the electicity. I stare deeply into his eyes. He is my doctor, my confidant, my husband’s best tennis pal…

Perhaps you could give the man credit for being a professional? Do you feel odd meeting your accountant in a social situation? Most assuredly, your doctor has a more mature attitude towards the human body than you have.

My father, as some of you know, is a nurse, and while this isn’t exactly like being a doctor, I think the point will suffice.

When he examines women to see if their parts are all in their upright and locked positions, etc, he doesn’t consider them flesh and womanly stuff, he considers them people and patients. He looks at a pair of breasts and sees them as mammary glands, not nipples he can suck on.

The point is that your doctor, when he’s examining you, is examining you as a medically licensed professional, not as your husband’s tennis partner.

Let us know if he starts inspecting you without a glove.

Didn’t you forget “I am a student at a small midwestern college…”

You know, considering we have a “SDMB Soap Opera” thread, can a “SDMB Penthouse Letter” thread be far behind??

This isn’t one of Bronzelion’s ‘doctor’s’ is it? You know the ones with the long football player legs, yadda yadda… If so, be wary of inviting him to pick you up at your office for lunch.

Looking up…oh, I get it. Exactly what sort of a doctor are you, anyway?

This is a situation called transference, wherein the patient begins to develop feelings for the physician (goes back to Freudian analysis). If he developed feelings for you, it would be counter-transference. And he could be headed for big trouble:

> More recently, state licensing boards have sanctioned physicians for engaging in sexual relations with their patients during the course of treatment. In Perez v. Board of Registration for the Healing Arts,[142] Dr. Perez, a gynecologist, became sexually involved with a patient seeking counseling and treatment from him. The licensing board found that the physician violated disciplinary rules by engaging in “dishonorable, unethical or unprofessional conduct of a character likely to defraud, deceive or harm the public.”[143] The Board suspended the physician’s license for two months followed by five years of probation.

The case law seems pretty gray in this area, but you never know how things are going to end up. Please keep this strictly in the realm of fantasy, if you must keep it at all. You might even consider switching to a different doctor just to play it safe.

So, **Scylla** , have you noticed your tennis buddy sniffing his fingers a lot? Perhaps your wife stuffing his balls into his shorts pockets? Maybe he’s asked you for specific advice on your “_stroke_?” 😉

So what’s the verdict? Does she have **Scylla’s** sense of humor?
