“Great, thank you Evan.” He noticed the doctor had gloves on this time, which she didn’t have before. The rubbery feeling gave a new sensation to the palpations. The doctor slipped the tips of her fingers under the waistband of his underwear, pressing on the area between his penis and leg. Unfortunately this made his start to harden. He squeezed his eyes closed and tried to make it go back down, but thinking about it only made it stand up more.

“Is that painful Evan?” The doctor asked. When he opened his eyes he realised she was looking at his expression, her face directly over his.

“No, sorry, I was just… trying to relax. Like you said before.”

The doctor smiled “Well your pulse is still quite fast, but it’s normal to be nervous. Next is the genital exam, so I’ll need you to take off your underwear. Typically we do this with a male chaperone, so while you get undressed I can get your captain-“

“No! No thanks, I don’t really need an audience” Evan interrupted, quickly sitting up. He didn’t want anyone involved with this, not his captain but also not himself!

“That’s ok, whatever makes you most comfortable. When was your last genital exam?”

“Ummm… I don’t know…” Evans legs dangled from the side of the exam table, swinging a bit to try and hide his still growing erection.

“You should be getting them each year with your physical, but maybe since you’ve skipped a few this can get you back up to date.” Dr Shaw sounded cheerful but professional as she put a hand on Evans back, gently guiding him to stand down from the table. “Underwear can go with the rest of your clothes.”

Evan sighed and took off his last layer of protection as the doctor slid over a short stool to directly in front of him. His hands stayed covering his crotch, not that there was much point.

“Evan just stand up straight in front of me, and I’m going to start with a visual check. You’ll feel my hands moving things around so that I can see everywhere. If at any point you feel uncomfortable just let me know and I can slow down or give you a break, ok?”

Evan took a deep, shaky breath and let his hands go down to his sides. Once he did, the doctor took his penis in her small hands, delicately lifting it around to look from all sides. “You’ll feel me put a bit of pressure now, remember to let me know if anything is painful.”

Evan nodded and curled his toes as the doctor gently pinched the tip of his penis, then prodded from base to tip.

“Great job, now your scrotum. Has anyone shown you how to do self-exams?” The doctor used the back of one hand to hold his penis out of the way as her other hand started rubbing one testicle.

“N… no doc?” Evan was nervous but couldn’t look away.

“Well every month it’s a good idea to copy what I am doing here, using your fingers and thumb to gently feel each testicle and the connecting tissue for any lumps, bumps, or changes in texture.” The doctor moved to the next testicle and declared “That all feels healthy Evan, any questions about self exams?”

“Well, I guess not…”

“I’ll check for hernias next.” Without pausing, Evan felt a finger go from his scrotum folding the skin inwards and travelling up toward his pubic bone. He may have jumped away had the doctor not also been holding his still erect penis. “Turn your head to the left and give me a cough.”

Evan cleared his throat, only softly coughing. “A bit harder please Evan, this will be done in a minute.” Dr Shaw was firm but not harsh, and Evan did what he was told. The finger was removed only to be repeated on the other side, and with another cough the doctor declared “All normal there Evan” and turned to dispose of her gloves.

Evan immediately covered his penis again, as the doctor hadn’t seen everything already. “Thanks doc, I’ll tell Captain I’m cleared to go back to work!” He said, grabbing his clothes.

“A couple things left to check Evan, I promise I won’t keep you much longer. Have you had a prostate exam before?”
