After the anesthesia kicks in, they WILL see you naked...

I hope you have a cute young nurse do your shave!

Going in for a procedure this week and will be getting my groin shaved. Who cares.

Why the groin shave? Looking for brain cells? ???

Woke up all shaved down there and a tube hooked up to my member.

As someone who has worked in the OR and seen people naked everyday, when you work in that environment nudity doesn’t faze you. It wasn’t something we thought about. You are focusing on taking care of the patient.

Had total hip replacement. Never thought about who was going to see what. Was shocked to see the protection the staff in surgery used to avoid infection. Most were in space suit like helmets. To be honest sliding into the operating table I was surprised how cold it was and how narrow. More of me hung over each side than was on the table. Before I could say anything I was out. At 69 got nothing to hide and it's all been seen before.

The tables are narrow so the surgeons and nurses can get close to the patient without bending over because their backs would start to ache and ORs are always cold to keep the surgeons and staff comfortable.

They are narrow, I feel like I'm going to fall off.

Me too. Last time I had a student nurse and a real nurse do it. I'm having an ablation Thursday

Coronavirus and the nature of medical standard sterile environments mean you likely can’t allow spectators in the room. However @Moppys_jalopy, I do suspect you could use this as a significant fund raising opportunity if there were video taken of the procedure. I am almost certain that many on Zity would pay generously to see you in such a position.

Anyway, hoping all goes smoothly (pun fully intended) and successfully for you in the procedure!

Ditto! Speedy recovery!!

No need to worry. If THEY feel like you will fall off, they will strap you to the table.

I hope you get a really smooth shave and your procedure and goes well with an unremarkable recovery.

Sounds kinky and right up your alley. I'll bet that was your job in the operating room.

Even if they don't strap down your body, your arms with an IV WILL be strapped to an armboard.

I've had more surgeries than I can count and I fully realize that whoever is going to be sawing on my body is going to see me naked. They are doctors and nurses and I'm just another one of hundreds of patients they are going to see and have to work on. I seriously doubt any of them will be looking at my unconscious body thinking all sorts of kinky things they could do, or a nurse rubbing herself under her scrubs. I'm just another piece of meat to carve on and it's their job and though they care about me as a patient, that's all I am and I'm not one their wet dreams.

It just is what it is.

Let's say I am having some sort of vaginal surgery, (I'm not but it just makes it more personal and easier for you guys to fantasize and masturbate).

I will be wheeled into the OR, two or more, people will grab the sheets I'm lying on and lift me from the gurney onto the table. They will proceed to take off my gown and yes, I would be naked under it (dummies) and they would start to cover me with a series of usually four drapes which takes about one minute and leaves an area about the size of a 4 x 6 index card or less of me exposed. NO PART of my body is visible to anyone and the person who actually sees the most of my body is the anesthesiologist who sees my face. I'm not a guy so I can't say for certain, but I do also like women, so a nice pussy turns me on, BUT, seeing a shaved vulva with no other body parts in sight to give it any context just doesn't turn me on. It's just a little meat and a few folds of skin---and NOBODY CARES

.

Personally I don’t mind as I have had 9 bladder ops and yes I have been asked to remove my gown just before they put me to sleep.

The operating theatre staff and nursing staff have seen naked bodies before so yes why not.

I have no problem being seen naked, but I'm more concerned that I might talk about my private life, interests, and desires while sedated...

This topic is a big concern for me. Like I said in some other threads here, I've had my very first general anesthesia this year (and I'm soon to be 50). This was for a colonoscopy. Of course when entering the OR, I was “naked under my gown”, with a sheet all over me.

In the room : the GE doctor (female), the anesthesic nurse (female) and the nurse (female). Three women just for me.

During the prep time, the anesthesic nurse took off the sheet of me, to check if the mattress pad was in place. And she didn't put the sheet back. So I was with the gown and nothing else. And she put me under. And I was out.

Next thing I remember, I wake up in an another room, with another nurse. I'm in the wake-up room ("salle de réveil" en français, don't know how to say in english), with the gown on, and the sheet back on as well.

And first thing in my mind : “OK, so, what happened ? Who has seen me naked ? For how long ? Did I spend 45mn naked in front of 3 women ?”

Of course I'll never have an answer to that. I've read a lot about colonoscopy since and it appears that some doctors manage to protect patient modesty, some really don't care, some try but not that much, … Well, in the end, it totally depends on how the doctor feels about it.

I've read here on Zity that medical staff don't care, they see naked people all the time, they're used to it, not much to think about. That's probably true. But what is common for them (another day at the office) is highly uncommon for the patient. Especially when it comes to nudity. I don't know for you, but I don't spend much time naked in front of strangers in my every day life.

Even though I don't have any proof, I'm pretty sure at one point, I've been naked (meaning genitals exposed). Maybe for 30 sec at the begining, maybe the whole time. I don't know, but I think I've been. Considering, I know these women have seen me, as they have seen maybe a dozen more that very day. I was one among so many. And I don't think I'm more noticeable than any other one. And I know that today they have all forgotten me. They wouldn't even recognize me if I were to meet them in the street. So I know this is not a big deal for anyone. But, I can't help myself to think about it. I'm making it a big deal, because I'm not used to it, because I'm a very shy guy, because I had absolutely no control on what happened to my own body, … and mostly because it happened to me ! I don't care if they've seen more naked men in a week than I'll do in my lifetime. All I know is they have seen ME in this OR ! And that's what really matters to me in the end.

I've heard people sometimes get pretty vocal or chatty coming out of anesthesia - sometimes embarrassingly vocal!!

A colonoscopy is an elective procedure. No one can force you to undergo the procedure.

If being seen naked for a short period by medical professionals is a big concern and important to you, more of a concern than colon cancer or whatever it is you choose to be screened for, then don't consent to a colonoscopy. It is really a simple choice.

That was my concern about my being under for some 9 hours during/after heart surgery. Perhaps being paranoid, I thought my nurses and caretakers acted liked they had learned something about my proclivities as a result..

Yes and no.

I'm 50 years old and my family have history of colorectal cancer (my grand father died of one). So I have to check for it. But because I have to doesn't mean I'm gonna stop being shy all of a sudden. In the end it's “do I (maybe) wanna die or not ?”. Not much of a choice.

But the point of the thread was about what happens under general anesthesia. And I answered about that, the main point for me being that I don't know for sure what happened and what had been seen. I'd rather know in reality (like with my dermatologist, no doubt, I was naked 😄)

When one gets medical care one has to surrender the usual boundaries. Most people have boundaries regarding being seen naked, especially by the opposite sex. Having something done to the genitals is particularly sensitive.

When undergoing surgery many things have to be done to the body and sterility has to be maintained so person is going be exposed to some extent.

General anesthesia then has two purposes, Firstly is relieves the patient of the pain of the knive. Secondly it relieves the patient of feelings of embarrassment and shame at being naked. Both are important.

Earlier in the thread Susie thought the phrase ‘naked under the gown’ was ridiculous, as the person actually was a garment. I’ve had the same ‘naked’ feeling. Fully clothed I have socks and underwear. Having on a gown that has a tie at the neck, and one in the back that goes to my knees is insufficient protection for modesty. I remember visiting one of my friends wearing one of these shorty gowns who was on top of the bed; as we entered he had one knee up and everything was visible

Last time I was under anesthesia about a year ago, I was also intubated.

So that means there won't be much talking done at all. And I remember when coming out of it, my throat was really sore from the intubation and it was all I could do to swallow and get things working again with my throat/voice. The nurses gave me a real honest-to-goodness popsicle to suck on in the recovery room.

What woke me up was the nurse asking me if I was ok. I said “yes I'm fine" and she said something about something I just said… and I have absolutely no idea what because I don't remember saying anything. That was a little scary 😄
