EXTRACT FOR
Exam Day
(Honey West)

Ellen had just turned 18 and I wanted to make sure she was healthy in all parts of her body.  Especially her intimate parts.   That`s why I (against her extremely loud objections and numerous desperate pleas) went ahead and made an appointment for her with my gynecologist. I am still her mother, after all, and she can protest all she wants, but I pay her bills and keep a roof over her head at the moment, so she doesn't have much choice at all in the matter.  I really like my  doctor, Sheila Reynolds. She`s a little  butch for my tastes, but she always does an extremely thorough, probing exam  on me whenever I've needed her services, and I wanted nothing but  the best for my daughter. 



"WHY? Why do I have to go? I`m a virgin, I`m not having sex, I don`t even have a boyfriend. What`s the big deal? It`s so embarrassing!"



Her whining was typical teenage nonsense.  



"Ellen, we`ve been  through this before. It doesn`t matter whether you`re sexually active or not. Something might be wrong with your female reproductive system and you wouldn`t even know it. All women need an intimate sexual exam by the time they`re 18.  How do I even know you're telling the truth when you say you're not having sex?  I know you're a good girl, but even good girls can have things wrong with their internal organs."



I understood that Ellen would react this way. What young ,  innocent girl wouldn`t? They all fuss and object when it comes time to spread their legs wide on a cold exam table and put their feet in stirrups for a complete stranger to view and poke around their tender  genital area. It doesn`t matter that it`s a doctor who is trained to see their vagina and private parts, or even if the doctor is a female. It`s still very difficult for any woman. That`s why I made a special and  out-of??"the-ordinary arrangement with my gynecologist to allow me to go into the exam room with Ellen and be present during the entire procedure.    I remember our conversation as if it were yesterday.
