I don't really have a problem with going to the gynocologist. I actually prefer it to going to the dentist. I've been going since I first began using birth control when I was 15, and have had at a bare minimum a six-month checkup ever since, even though I no longer use birth control.
My current gyno is a young man, just out of residency, and he is very enthusiastic about his job. He greets me with a warm smile each time I see him, asks about my general health, he's careful to warn me about each thing he's going to do, takes the speculum off of the heating pad a minute or so before inserting it to let it cool just a bit to the right temp, he tells me everything he's doing before he does it and why, even if it's the same procedure I've been through a dozen times, and will ask how something feels each time he does something new. It's very relaxing and comforting.
My SO won't go to a male gyno under any circumstances.
