Well just for peace of mind, you don't really need to bother having cervical smear tests if you haven't had sex yet. I'm under the impression that nearly all cervical cancers are caused by some virus, which is most often transmitted sexually. So strong is the link between these cancers and this virus, is that they are thinking about vaccinating everybody against this virus when they're 12. This is the UK through.
Anyway, so the other issue....well. I echo Gabbix's sentiments - I am always amazed at insensitive doctors too. I once had a smear, and it was awful, it was the look of disgust on the nurses face as she was doing it, as if my private parts were really gross...which doesn't do anything for my self esteem.
