Preferred to Lay on an exam table naked or in a gown during an exam ?

I have female physician and I lay naked. She gives such a intimate prostate exam. I lay on my side both knees together and she opens me with thumb and index finger and slowly inserts her small finger .

I've always been in a gown but would prefer to be naked laying on the exam table.

I would rather be naked. It is easier for my Doctor to see everything, and give me a genital exam, and DRE. My Doctor is a female, who I like very much.

I have a female doctor. Always in a gown and underwear

I do appreciate retaining my briefs if under a gown or without a gown. I fully anticipate that my underwear will likely be lowered or removed during the genital portion of my examination. I am less comfortable if naked at the start; it's clearly reinforcing of the doctor's control and preference at that point in time. It surely reminds me of my exams as a teen or child. The big difference now is the assumption that as an adult there should be some respect for modesty. I think that some doctors regard this as necessary while others do not. This may be a function of cultural or practices in other countries as well as just how the doctor wishes to conduct your exam. Seeing all of me is necessary; the skin is a major aspect of an exam as is all the other aspects including the moment one has a genital and DRE. Either way it happens no matter. Inwardly, there is a huge psychological aspect to being told “undress, remove everything for the doctor,” and then frantically realizing that the gown is either too short or won't be offered!

Laying naked all the time - gowns are such passion killers, and frankly a waste of time. Why be shy about your body, embrace it.

I wish I was more like you and less shy. Maybe I'm worried about getting excited and have my female doctor notice as soon as she walks in. How embarrassing would that be.

I prefer a gown if possible.

I would prefer to be in underwear only, patiently awaiting the removal of my underwear.

Since I was 11 my doctors office always had me change into a gown for my exams. I was allowed to wear my socks and underwear until it was time to take those off too.(

Underwear only. If a gown is neededoing then gown but naked under gown

My current PCP has me wear a gown. My previous PCP had me in my underwear. I preferred being in underwear. I'm there to be examined and it always seems silly to cover up.

Usually the instructed me to sit up and then sit down when needed to be examined and then they would tell me to undress if necessary

In France gowns are only used in hospital (from my experience). In doctor's office, we keep our personal clothes. Doctor may ask us to remove some of them, or all of them, but they don't provide gowns. So in the end, the patient often end up in his/her underwear.

For me, if I have to chose between naked and with a gown, I'd go for the gown. So I'm covered, but the doctor can move it very easily if she wants or needs it, which would be even more embarrassing to me I think than fully naked.

For a real exam my preference would be gown or underwear.

for a play exam, whatever I am told to do…

I think I'd like to try multiple ways, but ideally would be decided by the play doc. Having him slide my underwear down or remove my bra himself would be hot. But I also would love to be ordered to fully strip at the start of the exam.

In a play exam I like to be surprised and just do what the play doc says as far as the undressing part. However, in a real life exam it seems to be just underwear, gown and with underwear under the gown, completely naked under the gown, or just shirt unbuttoned or off. I have never been given the option of being completely naked for a real life exam. Personally, in a real exam I prefer to be just in underwear. In a play exam it just doesn't matter to me. I do realize that a part of the allure for some people is to be in a gown. However, as a play doc myself, it is a whole lot of trouble and very cumbersome to be worrying about working with and around all the modesty aspects of a gown and proper placement of gowns on the patient to preserve their modesty. It is ultimately a waste of time when a doctor will usually be seeing their patients completely naked anyway by the end of the exams.

In real life, happy to be shirtless on top and just my boxers on the bottom half.

In a play exam I like to be surprised. Whether that's starting with my shirt off and revealing my body as we go, or down to my boxers only, boxers and socks only, or naked from the beginning.

Prefer naked as I will end up that way

In recent exams I almost never remove any article of clothing, even a winter jacket stays on sometimes. Sad!

In past years, I've been nude several times in my exams. Mostly I start off with a paper drape across my lap, that usually ends up on the floor or in the trash. Twice I was given what appeared to be a folded paper towel as a drape.

I prefer not to waste resources or soil a cloth gown that needs to be laundered. I'm not ashamed of my body, and wouldn't want to have anything missed during my exams. Thoroughness over modesty every time!

I like being told "take everything off and put this on with the opening in the back." I enjoy taking all of my clothes off and putting them on the chair, putting on the gown, and then sitting my butt on the exam table. Unfortunately, that hasn't happened in years for a physical examination.

In the surgical suite however I've been told to take everything off, put the gown on, and lie down with the gown only on top. I want your bare butt on the sheet", the nurse said. That made it easier for the surgical crew to remove it after I was anesthetized.

If I had a choice, I think I would rather just lay there naked. The gown thing just seems silly. I guess the idea is to give the patient some modesty. But the doctor is going to see it all anyway so there is no real reason for a gown. Although I don't think there are many real doctors that would let you be completely naked.

I have always been in my boxers so not in a gown or completely naked

A real medical exam, gown seems more professional. Play exam, either naked or gown both have opportunities.
