OK I need an answer to the actual question now.
Afaik they intentionally look at and around it briefly, simply because no other doctor (I'm some cases, nobody at all) ever looks there and you could have a malignant mole or something. At least the two I've been to said it's common practice.
Yes and after they swab/scrub/scrape your cervix they usually put a finger in the rectum to feel for lumps, and wipe it on a slide for a stool sample.
Excuse me, what?
I’ve never been anally penetrated during a gyno visit, not a single time in many many years in many different places. If you have, that’s fucking weird.
My Obstetricians didn't but the (female) internist who did my pap smears as part of my annual physical did them. Not weird at all because she was examining the whole body, not just the female bits. And she warned me, as she did about everything down there, and didn't mess around. She also took care as she opened the speculum so I could unclench (vaginismus). Frankly much more considerate than my second OB, I broke their speculum and they blamed me rather than their technique.
Ok well that’s definitely not a “usually” situation then.
It's apparently less common than it used to be (I'm quite old, and I also had pelvic pain which is another reason for doing a rectovaginal exam) but considering the fact that colorectal cancer is skyrocketing in young adults maybe it should make a comeback. Anyway I yeeted the uterus about 10 years back, yay!
My gyno does this during my annual. Never thought it was unusual because it’s a part of my body that needs health checking too. Never thought about it not being common, that’s interesting that’s not more universal
please, you gotta tatto a speculum icon with an x on top next to your vagina,
add another one when you break another.
looks ace pilots
While it must suck for you, I am kind of jealous of that strength. I don't even have a vagina, yet the thought of being able to break medical equipment with my private parts... dude...

Bimanual palpation was the standard for a long time. Still common for older docs when I was starting like 15 years ago

Same for the male equivalent (sorry, English is not my first language). Hard to see the anus without exposing genitals, might as well make examining it the genital doctor's job.

This is only barely relevant, but it’s always funny to me that we had to develop completely separate processing systems to account for the fact that genitals look weird. Their appearances are so strange that you’d rather avoid them, if not for the portion of your brain that deadens your disgust. The meat hole and the yam-mushroom. Not nature’s finest works.

Alright, so you’re looking at a hot man or woman. You recognize that their characteristics are attractive. Maybe you like big titties, maybe you like developed delts, maybe you like a nice set of hands. Most anyone who sees these will say something to the effect of “oh yeah, those are fine body parts. I have no issue viewing them.”
Genitalia, on the other hand, are not one of the most attractive parts on a person. Just look at the sort of pelvic accessory you’re not interested in (bi people, I’m sorry) and you’ll pretty quickly realize that they’re just no fun to look at. When you get closer and you’re hit with acidic or ammonia-esque scents, it only gets worse.
In order to get around the minor issue of procreation avoidance, a portion of your brain chimes in and says “well actually, it’s not so bad. Give it a chance.” Consider the difference between your perceptions before and after puberty, if you’d care to understand on a human level. (Ace people, I’m sorry) Or check out more articles if you’d like to study this a bit further.
lol i love how the abstract cites a paper from 1942
look: if you're disgusted by genitals, i'm sorry to hear that, and i'm not judging you.
but don't sit there and try to tell me everyone, or even "most people" feels that way.
i can't speak for goofy looking dicks, but vulvas are extremely attractive; i dunno wtf you, or your 1942 paper referencing "study" are talking about.
again--i'm not judging. but i suggest you post to asklemmy (or literally any other forum), and ask: "are female genitalia no fun to look at/unattractive/weird/whatever tf else" and consider that maybe whatever problem you have with vaginas might not be a baked in instinctual thing that everyone has

I appreciate the extremely inclusive way to explain how everyone, deep down, is disgusted by all forms of genitals.
One could say they're an acquired taste.
This would also explain why basically a shortcut in horror monster/alien/scenery/set design is to start with genitalia as a style guide, and then distort it and/or apply it to objects that do not normally come even close to that.
Monster zombie dog?
Make dog naked, furless, and veiny, throbbing, skin where you can see it isn't bleeding, but theres tons of blood right at the surface of the skin, also its mouth/head is now basically a vaginal opening with teeth, but uh, opening horizontally instead of vertically.
See how easy this is?
The design of the Xenomorph from Alien is famously like that. It has feminine curves, but a phallic head. And facehugger is basically raping the victims to impregnate them. All of these design choices were intentional to evoke the disgust/fear of the audience, I remember reading about this
Half Life (2) monsters as well.
The, uh, the gonarchs, the 'adult headcrabs' on Xen?
Yeah, it literally just is giant walking ballsack, pretty sure the concept artist basically just says that directly in 'Raising the Bar'.
A bunch of the planned enemy types that existed in the beta/alpha, before Valve/HL2 got hacked and they significantly shifted development... a lot of the enemy types had concepts of much more fleshy/flappy/foldy appearances, often with hair, again, like pubic hair.
But they toned that down a lot, made them much sleeker, more 'synth' than ... i guess monstrosity.
But but, then of course, Eli gets skull fucked to death by a giant penis tentacle, extending out from... basically a giant floating testicle sans scrotum, in Ep 2.
That's why my favorite euphemism for sex is "bumping uglies". Its just a perfect description of it.
bi people, I'm sorry
Oh no, whatever shall I do!
cackles in horny
Interestingly, it's not about the look of genitalia specifically.
For example, I happen to be a hetero person, yet I appreciate both genitals equally. What matters is how feminine the carrier is. I'll appreciate a nice dick on a beautiful woman, but on a man...ew. Same with vaginas - if it belongs to a woman, it can be very arousing, but you won't find trans men in my bedroom.
It's the same genitals, but their perception is wildly different.

Genitals are cool, I have pictures of all types glued to my truck so I can share them with the world.
They smell and taste as good as they look too!
bi people, I’m sorry
hey i prefer my mate not have an ovipositor but you do you
There's plenty of instances and subreddits devoted to pictures of just genitals

When aroused your brain basically forgets how to be disgusted to some degree, and to varying extent per person. The brain falls into a more passive state allowing the hindbrain to focus on instinct for reproduction.
I think I get what you're trying to say, that non-genital features are more aesthetically pleasing. That genitals aren't that often featured in art. We usually don't go "wow those are some pretty genitals, damn".
But, it's also just your brain that tells you that the other parts are pretty. I bet all of them would look weird to an alien. It's just your brain telling you what to like

It is kind of wild. Some dudes have small dicks, big dicks, egg-shaped dicks.. Stinky dicks with moles on them.. Fat dicks with freckles.. Dicks that look like sad elephants.. Dicks that look like Shar Peis..
Then you have big vaginas, small vaginas, long vaginas, sleeve of wizard vaginas, jutting serrated-looking labia vaginas, wise old horse-like vaginas, cauliflower vaginas, meat pile vaginas, vaginas that look like Shar Peis..
And any of these.. And I mean any of them... can be on the hottest person you've seen in your life. It's like opening a Kinder Egg. Drop in a coin, pull the lever, and see what surprises await you in the dankest, steamiest, most razor-burnt region inside of your new partner's pants.
This is hilarious, you have a gift with words!
Really? Do you have more info on that, it's the first time I'm hearing about it and I'm genuinely intrigued
There are plenty of articles about the phenomenon, but this one covers the interpersonal portions pretty well
