Afaik they intentionally look at and around it briefly, simply because no other doctor (I'm some cases, nobody at all) ever looks there and you could have a malignant mole or something. At least the two I've been to said it's common practice.

Yes and after they swab/scrub/scrape your cervix they usually put a finger in the rectum to feel for lumps, and wipe it on a slide for a stool sample.

I’ve never been anally penetrated during a gyno visit, not a single time in many many years in many different places. If you have, that’s fucking weird.

My Obstetricians didn't but the (female) internist who did my pap smears as part of my annual physical did them. Not weird at all because she was examining the whole body, not just the female bits. And she warned me, as she did about everything down there, and didn't mess around. She also took care as she opened the speculum so I could unclench (vaginismus). Frankly much more considerate than my second OB, I broke their speculum and they blamed me rather than their technique.

This is only barely relevant, but it’s always funny to me that we had to develop completely separate processing systems to account for the fact that genitals look weird. Their appearances are so strange that you’d rather avoid them, if not for the portion of your brain that deadens your disgust. The meat hole and the yam-mushroom. Not nature’s finest works.

Alright, so you’re looking at a hot man or woman. You recognize that their characteristics are attractive. Maybe you like big titties, maybe you like developed delts, maybe you like a nice set of hands. Most anyone who sees these will say something to the effect of “oh yeah, those are fine body parts. I have no issue viewing them.”

Genitalia, on the other hand, are not one of the most attractive parts on a person. Just look at the sort of pelvic accessory you’re not interested in (bi people, I’m sorry) and you’ll pretty quickly realize that they’re just no fun to look at. When you get closer and you’re hit with acidic or ammonia-esque scents, it only gets worse.

In order to get around the minor issue of procreation avoidance, a portion of your brain chimes in and says “well actually, it’s not so bad. Give it a chance.” Consider the difference between your perceptions before and after puberty, if you’d care to understand on a human level. (Ace people, I’m sorry) Or check out more articles if you’d like to study this a bit further.

This would also explain why basically a shortcut in horror monster/alien/scenery/set design is to start with genitalia as a style guide, and then distort it and/or apply it to objects that do not normally come even close to that.

Monster zombie dog?

Make dog naked, furless, and veiny, throbbing, skin where you can see it isn't bleeding, but theres tons of blood right at the surface of the skin, also its mouth/head is now basically a vaginal opening with teeth, but uh, opening horizontally instead of vertically.

See how easy this is?

The design of the Xenomorph from Alien is famously like that. It has feminine curves, but a phallic head. And facehugger is basically raping the victims to impregnate them. All of these design choices were intentional to evoke the disgust/fear of the audience, I remember reading about this

Interestingly, it's not about the look of genitalia specifically.

For example, I happen to be a hetero person, yet I appreciate both genitals equally. What matters is how feminine the carrier is. I'll appreciate a nice dick on a beautiful woman, but on a man...ew. Same with vaginas - if it belongs to a woman, it can be very arousing, but you won't find trans men in my bedroom.

It's the same genitals, but their perception is wildly different.

When aroused your brain basically forgets how to be disgusted to some degree, and to varying extent per person. The brain falls into a more passive state allowing the hindbrain to focus on instinct for reproduction.

I think I get what you're trying to say, that non-genital features are more aesthetically pleasing. That genitals aren't that often featured in art. We usually don't go "wow those are some pretty genitals, damn".

But, it's also just your brain that tells you that the other parts are pretty. I bet all of them would look weird to an alien. It's just your brain telling you what to like

It is kind of wild. Some dudes have small dicks, big dicks, egg-shaped dicks.. Stinky dicks with moles on them.. Fat dicks with freckles.. Dicks that look like sad elephants.. Dicks that look like Shar Peis..

Then you have big vaginas, small vaginas, long vaginas, sleeve of wizard vaginas, jutting serrated-looking labia vaginas, wise old horse-like vaginas, cauliflower vaginas, meat pile vaginas, vaginas that look like Shar Peis..

And any of these.. And I mean any of them... can be on the hottest person you've seen in your life. It's like opening a Kinder Egg. Drop in a coin, pull the lever, and see what surprises await you in the dankest, steamiest, most razor-burnt region inside of your new partner's pants.
