Childhood Foreskin Exams

My mother told me the doctor asked if she wanted me circumcised and she said no. He then told her she would have to retract it at every bath to clean under it. I don't know if he had to remove any adhesions so she could do that but she did do it faithfully as shown in my father's home movies. I had an aunt who had 13 kids and whenever they came to visit it was bathe the baby time. The boys just disappeared but the girls all learned how to retract my foreskin and wash my skun back penis. This was done until the job was turned over to me when I was about 6. I don't remember my glans being sensitive until I was 8 or so. My frenulum was a little short so the tip of my penis would get pulled down if I retracted it with an erection. What a relief it was after it tore by itself during sex after marriage. Knowing nothing about lubrication thanks to our lack of sex-ed in the 50s It tore and healed back with the scar tissue making it even shorter. I reasoned that I had to keep the ends from reattaching themselves the next few times it tore so eventually there was nothing left of the frenulum and my foreskin can be retracted all the way back so my shaft is/was completely covered by inner foreskin even with an erection. I say was because I haven't seen an erection in years but I can still bare the whole inner foreskin leaving the glans fully bared but soft. Baring the whole thing and cleaning it with rubbing alcohol so my dry fingers will slide nicely over my dry non sticky penis feels really good when rubbing the inner foreskin on the shaft and rubbing the bare glans especially inside the coronal ridge groove. Sometimes that results in an orgasm but sometimes not. It still feels good rubbing the whole bare thing and pulling the foreskin back tight stretching it as much as possible.

Knowing the frenulum will be short and somewhat painful I don't understand why the doctor didn't fix that instead of leaving it to tear when I was older. I few small cuts with a scalpel would have fixed that when I was a baby or a little later painlessly after a little skin prick with the needle. Being able to pull that foreskin all the way back tight was wonderful and would have made masturbation much more fun. I wouldn't have had to tell my girlfriends to be careful during handjobs.

The tip became a bit tight as I grew older but that was easily fixed by inserting two fingers when bathing and stretching the opening. Just think of the fun having a girl do that for you.

At about the age of ten I recall my glans being sensitive to the touch. I can't imagine why that nurse of yours would squeeze and roll it with her thumb and fingers unless she just enjoyed doing that to hurt you and that doctor must have been a real sadist so the two of them must have really enjoyed working you over.

I later became tired of my glans being so sensitive and decided to fix that myself. I knew that the circumcised kids I played with didn't have that problem at all. They wanted me to really put pressure on their glans when masturbating them and enjoyed having it rubbed as hard as possible. Rubbing that between my thumb and fingers felt good to them. I figured their glans being like that was the result of it being bare since they were born and all I had to do was get mine used to being bared, dried, rubbed and used to being handled. I already had my foreskin fully retractable so I retracted it, cleaned it with rubbing alcohol and began lightly touching/caressing it with one finger. I increased the pressure as much as I could stand a bit every time. It began to feel so good that those times became much more often, 2,3,4, times a day until one time I decided to keep rubbing and masturbate with the skin pulled back and the head dry. Eeewww, what a feeling!!!!!!!!!!! I never masturbated again by rolling the skin up and down. After that I always did it dry and bare.

I don't understand why they would do what they did to you, there is no reason to give you that much pain. Those hemostats scraping your already sore glans and that nurse working you over with her specialized ones and that doctor doing what he did to your frenulum is unconscionable.

Back in the early 1970’s here in the U.K., I remember several of my friends who went at another school, a comprehensive, used to be checked by a visiting Dr or Nurse. They would have to stand in a small room, stripped off to their underpants, checked over, told to drop their underwear so the nurse could retract their foreskins, maybe just to make sure none were suffering from phimosis or whatever. My friends would have been about 10-11 years .

I went to an all male, public school, and unfortunately, I was never checked! Although I was fully experienced by then of having my foreskin pulled back frequently by my female cousin and her older girlfriend.

@belkinian

These examinations were performed at my school when I was there until the mid 1980s. I’ve seen that they were not universally practised, so it must have applied in some health authorities and not others. Public schools seemed to be more likely to perform the medicals, so you rather missed out! Having your foreskin pulled back by your cousin and friend must have been an interesting experience!

@Grizzly_Paladin

I wish adult circumcisions could be a quick office procedure like that, just have my PCP do it instead of having to find a urologist whose office will actually call me back.

I'm with you there. Aside from her beautiful blue eyes and blond hair my PCP of 10 years has impressed me with her demeanor now and I would trust her to do almost anything she wants to me. I might even let her take my foreskin off if she thought I'd be better off without it.

I think she was fairly new in the role of Doctor when my wife chose her for our family doctor 10 years ago when our long time (35 years) doctor retired. She seems to have taken on many of his patients and they all like her.

I am circumcised but I remember at school physicals hearing uncut boys being told to pull their foreskin back or the doctor telling them that he was going to retract it. That has always fascinated me.

I have written a few posts on similar topics in the past. In my area in the 70s and 80s these exams were the norm.

Full medicals we carried out all the time in infant, junior and comprehensive school and every boy had their foreskin checked and retracted by the school doctor at some point.

I had mine retracted every year in childhood & even now as an adult

I had to have child circumcision. Something that I will away hate and regret

It was never checked. Which in some ways I’m quite relieved about, because I was unable to retract it at all until I was nearly 15. Had a doctor seen that I might well have been circumcised….

We had medical check ups at school every year. It was done by a visiting paediatrician or sometimes several doctors would come to perform an extended check ups and one of the doctors would thoroughly examine our privates including retraction of foreskin.

I was unable to retract it at all until I was nearly 15. Had a doctor seen that I might well have been circumcised….

So did you train your foreskin to become retractable? That's at least how I did, because mine couldn't be pulled back completetly before 15 or 16. First checked by a pediatrician at 13, who told I might need to get circumcised, but he wanted to give it some more time first. So I tried everything to get it loose and fully back. It took about 2 years.

I recall dr's retracting my foreskin as a child and it being uncomfortable, but nothing painful.

The only time there was ever an examination of my foreskin was during a military physical and the doctor asked me to pull the skin back. I never had any issue with tightness so it retracted without any issue. And as I was always hygienic the inside was fine as well. I may have been examined between birth and being a toddler but I have no memory of that if it even happened.

My pediatrician always pulled back my foreskin to check i dont have phimosis. Back then, this was indifferent to me, as my medical kinks were mostly around ekg tests and foot exams

I remember the doctor trying (and failing) to retract my foreskin. My foreskin was tight - remedied later in life - so it didn't retract. They never forced it, I guess they're not supposed to as it can still be adhered to the glans in childhood.

They would just pull back gently and look, to visualise the urethra I suppose.

Had very light phimosis with hazy memories that the doctor is cheking this. Mom regularly excercised for a short period till age 4-5 l guess. Always evening in the bathtube when she was washing me.

I don't have recollections of this but I know, for my mother mentioned it later, that my pediatrician was concerned about my foreskin not retracting. Then, later, it was our general practitioner, a lady, who pushed mother to try to pull on it after having me sit in warm water; but I don't recall that examination. Perhaps there had been a school physical also, I don't know. Since my mother's attempts were unsuccessful, surgery was advised. I suppose it involved our GP examining me again, then a urologist, but I don't recall these examinations. I was circumcised, and I definitely recall the post-op visit to the GP: she was commenting on my penis and removing last stitches as mom looked. I think that between surgery and that visit mom washed me down there with antiseptic soap. Later I recall a school physical with briefs pulled down, but since I was visibly circumcised there was no foreskin to examine; I'm unsure if they checked on the uncircumcised boys.

So to summary my foreskin was examined a number of times but the examination is really remember is when it had just been snipped off!

My foreskin eas examined when I was very young by our family doctor..I remember saying I didn't want to be touched but mother saying it had to ne done. I think this was the catalyst for my medical fetish

I can’t really recall. I guess the school doc did check once. I know from my mom telling me once that my foreskin got stretched. I think they used some ointment and pulled it back. But I must have been very young as I have no recollection of it. I remember being able to pull my foreskin back as a young boy, maybe 6 to 9, because I got a shock when I realized it was attached to my shaft and I asked my mom. I guess I discovered my frenulum and my mom assured me it was ok.

Today I wish I could recall more exams of my genitals, if there were many. I had several exams of my testicals, but that’s another story.

My foreskin is nice and lose these days, probably also because I started masturbating very early and almost never missed a day in stroking and thus stretching my foreskin. Although there are days when I wish I would have been circumcised at some point when I had become conscious about my sexuality, my foreskin and my masturbation habits.

Wish I had these exams. My doctor never checked

From my earliest memory my mother would retract my foreskin at bath time it was painful because it was tight, I usually ended up crying when she was doing it if I moved around too much she would slap my thighs or spank me wich stung like crazy because I was wet so I just had to endure it.

I remember her taking me to the doctors when I was around 7 years old and he wanted to circumcise me but my mother would have no part of that and just told him she would handle it and I would just have to toughen up.

This was back in the mid 60”s onwards and back then it was common for uncircumcised boys to be retracted for hygiene at bath time not like now where mums are told to leave it alone.

Looking back now I think she actually got some sort of pleasure out of it because the more it hurt the longer she would keep it retracted. She would just tell me to shut up and not be such a baby.

She turned into a bit of a man hater after my dad left her for another woman when I was very young. She never dated another man and stayed single all her life growing up. My sisters got much more affection and better gifts than I ever did.

As a child I recall my male pediatrician from age like 3 to 9 checking my penis and testicles and he gently would see if my foreskin retracted but it didn't fully until either right before puberty or right after I cant remember exactly as this was around 1970. My bio mother frequently bathed me up until around 7 or 8 but never forcefully retracted my foreskin but would wash my penis. I also remember the female pediatrician I had later at some point being able to fully retract my foreskin and examine under the foreskin and my glans but I was usually erect or would become erect when she would expose the glans. My step mother and the pediatrician were in favor of circumcision as this was the early 70s and most boys were being circumcised at birth, and wanted to schedule it when I was around 12 or 13 but my father said it was my decision and I chose not to after being shown where she would cut.

I would like to tell you my story, but given my level of English, I will use a dictionary and a translator. I hope you will understand what I write.

I won't go into what happened when I was a baby, as it's already been mentioned here: https://en.zity.biz/index.php?mx=forum;ox=display;topic=117358;firstnew

I'm French and a child of the 80s.

I remember the school medical check-up at age 3 and then again at age 6, accompanied by my mother.

I think it was two older doctors (or maybe the same one?) assisted by a nurse.

At the end of the examination, without asking, she put her hand (gloved or not, I don't remember) inside my underwear, felt my testicles, then my penis, which she eventually retracted. The foreskin was retracted as far back as possible, held for a few seconds, then returned to its original position. She released my underwear, told my mother that the entire examination was normal, and that I could get dressed.

Some boys left in tears; looking back, I think they had their foreskins retracted forcibly, and a few others were told to go to their pediatrician or doctor to have it done, otherwise they would have needed surgery.

On a more personal note, my parents were strict about hygiene and said that you had to regularly pull back the foreskin to urinate and clean yourself, to avoid illnesses and problems.

At every bath, my mother would wash my penis with soap, and she would retract the foreskin to clean underneath, which was pulled back as far as it would go. Then she would retract it again to dry it thoroughly. I was told it was important that it be dry. When I was old enough to do it myself, I did so under my mother's supervision, and then she didn't watch anymore.

One thing I couldn't escape: my father would check me after every bath, after I had dried off, before I got dressed. My testicles would be felt (and pinched, why?) to check for any retraction in the abdomen. From time to time, my penis was moved up and down and from side to side to check its mobility. He finished his check by retracting the foreskin with two fingers.

The foreskin was always retracted as far back as possible and held in that position for what seemed like an excessively long time. Then it was retracted. He told me that the skin should be pulled back but should also be able to return to its original position without causing pain.

Sometimes I had erections, so again, it was necessary to check that the foreskin slid back in this scenario.

At the age of 10 or 11, I was told I was a big boy and that I should do all this myself.

My father checked me only once more when I was about 12, and not at all after that.

The question that was always asked was: does it hurt? Whether it did or not, I took it upon myself to answer in the negative, for fear of having to go under a scalpel or a bistoury during the next school holidays, because, I quote: "it's not a big deal if it doesn't work, we'll go to the hospital and cut off a little bit of the penis".

I don't remember seeing many MD, only when I was sick and for mandatory vaccinations.

From my late teens until a few years ago, I had the same MD (a man). He had a reputation, for both boys and girls, for not being interested in what goes on "below the belt", unless requested by the parents or the person concerned.

My new MD (a woman) has never examined me "below the belt", except recently when I had a minor issue.

My foreskin was forcibly retracted aged 4 at a hospital before a day of X-rays and a VCUG at another hospital shortly afterwards.

This was late 1960s and the catheter for the VCUG was rigid. Both the retraction and the VCUG were painful procedures. Also, I’m probably more radioactive than most.

My brother’s foreskin was also forcibly retracted at a young age. It was the days of home visits and our GP chose to do it on a day he was already crying. He got my mum to put him in the bath for him to do the retraction.
