Gloves or No Gloves for MALE Genital Examination

I can only remember one time being examined without gloves. It was by an older doctor who had been at the clinic for years. I had made the appointment because of some pain in my groin area. When the nurse was done with my vitals she said she was going to get some things out for the doctor and then she would go let him know I was ready. I saw her get a pair of exam gloves and a bottle of Surgi lube and set them on the counter, as she left the exam room she gave me a sympathetic little smile and said he would be right in. I can remember sitting there feeling anxious after seeing what she had set out on the counter. When he came in he asked me what the problem was. I told him about the pain in my groin area. He looked at me told me to stand up and drop my pants. He then started examining me, I don't think he even thought about putting the gloves on before he started examining me. He started feeling around my groin and then started examining my testicles asking if it hurt. He checked me for a hernia and said everything felt normal and I could pull my pants up. He explained that testicle cancer was very common in guys my age and he was going to send me for a ultrasound. I can remember feeling a little startled when he first touched me without any gloves on but I didn't think anymore about after he was examining me.

During a "real exam" I know gloves are used and required, but in "play exams" I would prefer no gloves either giving or receiving. Just my desires!

I like gloves for both. Makes the play exam feel real.

The male doctor who checked my balls when I registered for middle school at 11 and a half wore gloves and so did my female pediatrician when she checked my balls when I was 13.

I have memories of being examined without gloves and wondering why she didn't put any gloves on for the genital examination. I don't care either way, I just recall wondering why she didn't wear them.

Now a days the medical professional is double masked, safety goggles, and double gloves before walking into the room, to NOT touch you.

From my experience, it’s always been no gloves, but I think I’d prefer gloves, I like the way they feel.

Gloved whether real or play.

Because the doc at the highlight of my medfet did not use gloves, and rather the sink at the counter when he was through, I would prefer no gloves, to sort of re-create that. However, if I were to have a play exam with a doc who is really into the role, and typically uses gloves while really getting into taking on the persona of a real doc, then I would be all in favor of him using the gloves. Because I believe there would seem a more natural medical setting effect.

As a child of the 60s and 70s the doctor never used gloves for a genital exam. Last time I had one the doctor did, I listened to the crackle of latex. Personally I would rather they just got on with it without gloves.

Always gloved in real exams, I'd find really weird a doctor touching me there with bare hands. I never had a play exam, but I'd prefer with gloves, more realistic and professional, less intimate.

Interesting

Always wear gloves! That’s the best part.
