Weirdly, it has always been the female gyn's who have said that to me. My male gyn seems to just take me at my word on stuff, presumably since he CAN'T just assume we all work like he does :)
Fortunately for me, I've never had anyone say it to me. Phew!
It seems to be understood these days (at least by several docs I've seen) that women vary widely in terms of how much sensitivity there is in various spots. Maybe as a new generation of physicians comes in, that sort of comment will be a thing of the past.
