Have a funny DRE story, from about 20 years ago. My wife and I were seeing the same female doctor for a while. I ended up getting a DRE from her and told my wife about it. The next time my wife went to see the Dr I went with her, the doctor walked in and my wife said to her “So… I hear you two are dating now…” the doctor turned beet read and burst out laughing… we’re friends with a bunch of female doctors… and “girl talk” happens when all the girls get together…
