The Hot Doc Dilemma

If you’ve got a thing for guys in uniform, then your doctor in his sexy white coat and stethoscope may tip you right over the edge. If you’ve developed a crush on your local McSteamy, then consider yourself totally normal. The combo of his caring, nurturing disposition, his dashing white coat, and your vulnerability, is a blend that lots of lady folk vie for.

When women walk into a doctor’s office, they’re looking for comfort, support, and a solution to their problems—not unlike the things that women look for in their selection of a mate. But what you get with a doctor is way more than what you get on a first date—confidentiality and the ability to share your deepest darkest secrets. When you share such personal things with a doc—things like birth control, sexual dysfunctions, your secret desire for bigger boobs or diet pills—a high level of vulnerability sets in.

You’ve confided such private concerns that it makes sense that you want something in return, something deeper than just a doctor-patient confidentiality agreement.

Some women get in a room with a hot doctor and feel the need to disclose every last detail of their lives, in an effort to force bonding. Other women, however, are intimidated by such good looks and the last thing they want to do is describe their yeast infections. If you find that you fall into category B, you may want to look for a new doctor; you’re there, after all, to discuss your health concerns. If you let the cat get your tongue rather than discuss your flatulence or your acne problem, then you’re sort of wasting your time, not to mention leaving your health concerns unaddressed.

Otherwise, there’s nothing wrong with a little schoolgirl crush on your medical hero. It might not be a good idea to act on it—dating a doctor isn’t so much fun, and his practice may have rules against it—but it could certainly make for some steamy fantasies….
