I personally take mine out for visits. The first time I went after getting it, my Doc had an intern do my exam. I was trying to stop talking to the doc before she went down for the exam to "warn" her, but she was quicker. Popped right back up

red faced and, well, that was embarassing to say the least. Doc made no biggee over it or anything, but I don't want any uncomfortableness while in that postion

. They don't emabarass me per say, but their connations are sexual, not just decoration. Same goes for my nipple rings.
