This is so rarely talked up. I was pretty unaware of the the type of sexuality training that doctors get or don't get (don't even get me started on therapists or social workers!), until I read Carol Queen's book Real Live Nude Girl. In that she talks about how both her and her parter Robert (who is also a doctor of Human Sexuality) go through exams in order to train doctors on their "bedside manner" so to say by giving doctors direct and on the spot feedback about their skills both physically and emotionally through the exam. This has got to be tough work to volunteer for, and yet how important it is! It truly is amazing and devoted work to do for sure! Thank you for bringing this up!
