Boyfriend of a Nursing Student

[AZStudent01]

I'm in a very committed relationship with a nursing student at a different school about a half an hour from me. We've been dating for a little over a year and both agree that marriage is in or future, I'm extremely proud of her for her career choice and try everything to be as supportive as I can from a distance but for the past few weeks I can't get one thing off my mind. I've seen the threads about a boyfriend being upset that his girlfriend has to touch or see another man's member among other things and that isn't what this is about, at first that thought and picture really bothered me but at this point I'm honestly over that and don't really care about it, I understand it's part of the job and I'm not concerned. I'm also not worried about her being turned on by inserting a catheter or giving a bed bath but the one thing that bothers me is how a nurse can have any interest in seeing her significant other naked after seeing several men naked that day at work, I know they are "just body parts" on patients but is it really different when it's your boyfriend or husband's? I know this question will probably seem dumb to everyone on here but as a management major who has no experience in the medical field it's hard for me to imagine that she won't eventually become desensitized to the male body and anatomy and develop the "seen one, seen them all" mentality. That would just really be hard because I know the way I look at her body and like to think that it goes both ways and I would just hate to lose that. Any advice would be appreciated, if you want to tell me how immature it is or to get over it then save your time, I realize it's small and probably largely unreasonable but I'm just looking to see how other couples or husbands have dealt with this if they've had the same problem or if it really isn't a problem then I would like to hear that too. Thanks in advance

He said "She's got a problem in her 'gitchy gitchy yaya dada'."

"Creole lady Marmalaaaaaaaaade" ...I would have been so tempted

OP, You do realize your girlfriend will be dealing with sick people that may have multiple infections, and I can gurarantee you that a patient's member is the farthest thing from her mind. It is work and we, as nurses, are there to get the patient's well.

On another note OP, please stop being self-centeted about this. If you are an adult, deal with it like an adult. If you lose intimacy with your girlfriend it is not because she looks at memberes all day!

OP,

If she doesn't want to get jiggy with it when she comes homes it's because one these three reasons OR possibly a combination.

A ) She's stressed as heck.

B ) She got it in with an equally stressed young hot resident

C ) You have bad body odor/bad breath.

As long as I get the creds. When I join AN I may make it my signature.

Why am I here? Oh yeah, I remember. I thought my ex was paranoid, but the OP just made my ex look like a saint. You guys crack me up lol. Far, come up with a term for the occasional member that is exposed, but isn't our patient's. I don't even remember the last time I saw a member. It's been mostly lady partss for me.

I am familiar with your concern because my wife is a RN right now in a genital urology clinic. She deals with male genitals every day. We've had this discussion before. My suggestion is this...openly communicate with her your concerns and let her explain how it makes her feel. There are a lot different field's when it comes to nursing..many of which never deal with genitalia. I hope this helps.
