Concerning gynecologist visits; am I the one crazy person out there?

First let me further complicate the situation by saying that i am a guy, though age has no relevance to the situation. This question concerns my reaction to my girlfriend's checkups. I will start off also by saying that i DO know about how these people are only doing their jobs, to help women prevent potentially dangerous or inhibiting problems. I also do not wish in the slightest for my girl to become in any way sick, i love her very much. anyways, to try to keep this short, despite this knowledge, i cant bring myself to bear the thought of anyone so intimately dealing with my girlfriend or her body. It really bothers me and I dont know if that will ever change, but I dont want to cause any problems down the road. Am i just crazy? Someone please let me know!

You know, I've never heard this feeling spoken of before, but now that I think about it, I suspect it may be fairly common. It wouldn't surprise me if most men resent the intrusion of a stranger into what he subconsciously considers "his territory". As long as you don't let it stop your girl from getting the health care she needs, I think time will make it easier. If it becomes a really obsessive thing, then you'd need to get some help.

But would you feel the same way about a female gynecologist? If not, maybe your girl could change doctors.
