My first experience with a pap was with a rough, abrupt, rude male doctor, and I believe that set the tone.
I have also had a female doctor who was negligent to the point of losing my pap results THREE TIMES, resulting in what should have been mild dysplasia growing to severe dysplasia and requiring lots of what I felt to be avoidable and horribly painful day surgery.
However, my gut feeling is that I just prefer a female doctor. I think it reminds me of being cared for by my Mom. I have, however, had a couple of really great male doctors that I was comfy with --- I've just had to switch a lot of times due to moving.
