I am thinking of getting some private area piercings, but am hesitant. I know as a female I will have to go to the doctor for routine female exams and I know my current doctor would be disapproving. I would love to find an open minded, liberal general practitioner who would not make me feel like a freak. Anyone have a suggestion on a doctor?
