I so agree with you on this!!! From the time I was in grade 5-7 I was constantly seeing dentists, orthodontists, and periodontists (braces, funfun). I would much rather get a physical than have to spend any more time in a dentist chair.
I don't much LIKE getting a pelvic examination, but I went just this week and the actual time spent down there was seriously only a few minutes. In my opinion it's worth the time to check things out. If you're uncomfortable with it and don't like getting it done that much, don't. It's your body and if you hate it that much, who cares if you don't get it done? Personally, I will continue to get them done as I don't mind THAT much and find the potential rewards to outweigh the temporary discomfort. As for it being in anyway sexual, I think for 99.9% of doctors, it is anything BUT sexual. They look at body parts as just that, body parts. If they don't, then I think there is something wrong. I don't think there are many doctors out there that would consider a pelvic exam/pap smear to be sexual.
