So I'm a sighted person and found this sub because Google had no answers 😅 Thank you so much for being willing to answer questions!

I was rewatching Daredevil season 1 (the 2015 show) and had a question. (For anyone unfamiliar with the show, the only context necessary in this case is that the main character, Matt Murdock, is a lawyer and is blind. He has no vision at all.) So, in the first episode, Matt invites Karen, his client, to stay the night at his apartment as hers is a crime scene. She asks for a shirt to change into and then changes her shirt in front of him.

It makes some logical sense, as the main reason people want privacy while changing is to prevent others seeing them naked, and Matt is blind and she knows that. But somehow it just felt weird to me. Like, I can't imagine changing in front of a man I'd just met, even if he couldn't see me at all. Like he'd still *know* I was changing, you know? What if he thinks I'm coming onto him?

Is it normal to change in front of a blind person, even if that person is someone you wouldn't change in front of if they were sighted? I guess it would also depend on the degree of vision impairment, but I'm asking based on a scenario where the person is completely blind, as in the show. Like, is this scene just added to build romance between them, or is that a thing people do in real life? How would you feel if someone changed in front of you and do people do it?

So in the episode where the Waterfords force Lawrence and June to do the ceremony (and Eleanor to witness it), I expected they would be in the actual room, as when Serena made Nick and June do it. But since they weren't and the bedroom door was closed, could they not have achieved the necessary result for the doctor's inspection without any actual sexual contact between Lawrence and June?

Obviously they were unprepared for this and no one has a turkey baster just lying around their bedroom, but I was surprised no one suggested looking for some sort of container which could serve the same purpose and be hidden/destroyed afterwards.

Maybe there wouldn't have been one suitable in the room, but I was surprised it wasn't a suggestion, at least from the Lawrences, who were horrified and in denial at first. It would be still incredibly unpleasant and uncomfortable for everyone but... better than direct rape I guess? For the most privacy/dignity possible, June could have joined Eleanor behind the curtain while Lawrence produced the "sample" then he joins Eleanor while June inserts it, etc.

The doctor afterwards while inspecting June asks if there was any blood or discomfort and she says no... so wouldn't the presence of semen be the only proof necessary? Idk I'm not an expert, is it possible for a doctor to tell the difference just from looking?
