If only people worked like that and didn't just keep their minor medical problems to themselves instead until they escalate.I would assume they would simply see another doctor, though I can accept the possibility that their body issues would lead to them not discussing the issue at all.
Here in Australia it's not uncommon for doctors to ask their patient if they'd be more comfortable with a doctor of the same sex when it comes to particular issues.
Yeah, but in non-sexual situations, it's very much possible to not see them as sexual in that moment. If you can stop looking at genitals as sexual in a non-sexual environment, the problem with touching them for a professional, non-sexual purpose kinda... goes away.You can look at a penis in a particular situation without thinking of it in a sexual way, but that doesn't stop the penis in general from being a sex organ. Genitals are the part of our body we use in sexual reproduction.
And I do believe that this is possible.
Huh. Okay, I'mma have to explain that one: I'm pretty sure that the person in this exchange originally (before a quick edit perhaps? accidentially?) quoted my rambling. So in that scenario, the exchange started with my rambling about a hypothetical situation where people don't see genitalia as inherently sexual, which (I hope) explains why I was just clarifying my rambling in my next response. The post seemed to misunderstand what I wrote, but since the quoted person is changed now, perhaps it was just a mis-quote?That was in response to this exchange:
-- Not really. If you don't want to touch a penis, you shouldn't have to touch a penis. Coercing someone into doing that is basically sexual assault.
-- But like I said in my rambling above, that's only if you see genitalia as something inherently sexual.
which I though was an odd response, even if I figured I knew what you were getting at. Responding to this is basically sexual assault with it wouldn't be if we though differently about our genitals is a bad take
It's also possible that I just... somehow weirdly thought they were quoting me.
You're right, as it is now, my response in that exchange isn't appropriate.
EDIT: Winny(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و Did you maybe quote me, at first? Or did I just fuck up, and misread severely?
