I prefer male doctors in general, not just as an OBGYN. I've always felt more comfortable around males, even if they are looking at my sensitive parts. I've had a couple of doctors that I wouldn't let give me an exam because I didn't feel comfortable, so I would switch doctors. I've moved around a lot, so I have mastered knowing what I feel is right for me in a doctor.
That's not to say that I would NEVER go to a female. I just haven't found one that I've been comfortable enough around to keep as my doctor.
A little off subject, but when I was 16 and getting my very first pap smear/OBGYN checkup (I had just found out I was pregnant), I had an Indian female doctor. Now, mind you, I had never had a pap smear and I had no clue what was involved in getting my first pregnancy exam. So, there I am, laying on this cold table, my best friend right beside me, legs spread open on the stir ups. The doctor does the heart beat, does the measurements, and then does the pap smear. I relax, thinking I'm about done.
Next thing I know, there's a finger up my ass and I about went through the wall.
"Oh!" said the doctor. "Finger up the rectum!"
Needless to say, I never went back to her. (;
