I've generally much preferred seeing male doctors for intimate female issues. When examining particularly, I've always found men to be much gentler.
I've had internal exams done by 4 female doctors/nurses and 3 of them actually told me off for wincing and that it didn't hurt really which, since I wasn't impeding them from doing the exam, I thought was frankly a bit silly. I've had internal exams done by 3 male doctors/nurses and all were as pleasant as internal exams are ever going to be.
