I'm curious. If you had been examined by a male nurse, would you have felt the same need to give an extended explanation?
Even more so, because the male nurse might assume I'm gay otherwise.
I've noticed some little-studied cognitive biases here, because sexually experienced people tend to force ready-made "explanations" on male incels that make them comfortable, instead of trying to study and understand incel as its own phenomenon. The canned explanations lead to bad conclusions and useless advice for men like me. How would seeing a prostitute teach me how to get into sexual relationships? Men who get their sexual experience exclusively from prostitutes can remain as inept at dating as incels. You usually can't just pick up a girl at the coffee shop with your "day game" and expect her to do the whore tricks you have become accustomed to with escorts.
That also shows why I consider sexbots a really stupid and dangerous notion. Sexbots could just increase the proportions of socially retarded men who have no clue how to deal with real women.
What you need from the nurse is her set of skills. Her personal opinion of you is irrelevant to doing her job. I understand that we may see health professionals as higher-status than us, but they're actually doing us a service. You don't need to feel intimidated by an unspoken imagined condemnation.
