I'm not afraid. I'm never put to sleep or tied down. An assistant is required (insurance laws in the US) to be in the room. And I only go to doctors that have been recommended to me by friends.

I only had an assistant in the room during my first exam. You may have an assistant/nurse present IF you request it (in my experience), but generally I don't bother.
The female obgyns I've seen have been hyper-gentle with me, but maybe my experience is abnormal. I also prefer a male touch, though one male obgyn I visited was quite rough with me. I guess "I haven't been sexually active for two years" didn't alert him to the idea that the speculum would have a super-tight fit.
