General geinocologist question from a guy

That's not a dumb question. The general guideline is that a girl visits the gynecologist when she turns 17 or 18, or when she becomes sexually active, that happens before she is 17 or 18.The gynecologist's professional association suggest a first visit a few years before that, but they seem to be the only group that thinks so. It's certainly in their financial interest if women visit them early and often.
I'm 17 and not sexually active.When I turn 18, and such do I have to begin going?I just have this trauma with doctors touching my genitals....its something that happened to me when I was smaller, and I DEPISE having medical ppl touch me there ....Anyways, say I was 20+ and still a virgin? Could I go and not get a vaginal exam?
You can do whatever you want, but it might not be what is recommended.
I am 15 and I have already been. Stange yes, but not that bad
I'm 17 and not sexually active.You've already asked about oral sex, so it sounds like you're well on the path.It's a good idea to get a gynecologist appointment when you're 18 or so. If you're not going to let her or him examine you down there though, then there's no point. It would be like going to an eye doctor but not let him or her examine your eyes.No on can force you to do anything, but it would be a good idea if you started thinking about how to deal with your phobia. You are bound to eventually need a gynecological exam at some point in your life.
