Guys, how about the finger in that OTHER place?

Though addressed to “guys,” ladies are especially welcome to contribute or ask questions.

One of the ladies of Zity, in the Age-Play forum, mentioned giving fantasy young men the “cough test.” For some reason, that triggered me. It has been many years since I have had the turn-your-head-and-cough exam. The idea of a female doing that to me, particularly as a very young man, is terribly erotic to me now.

Do I even remember correctly? My recollection is of the doctor’s finger pressing up within the periphery of the scrotum, or just outside of the scrotum, into the entrance of the inguinal canal. I do not remember it being really painful, but distinctly uncomfortable, and very disconcerting feeling a finger where it did not belong.

Experiences, observations, comments?

You do remember correctly. The doctor's finger has to enter the inguinal ring by gathering loose scrotal skin and pushing the finger into the canal. It's not painful, but can be uncomfortable especially if the scrotum is tight/compacted due to nerves or a cold room. It's a very intimate exam as there's not only contact with the genitals, but the doctor is checking an internal anatomical structure through fairly invasive means.

It's also rather painful for me since having hernia repair surgery about a year ago. I used to love sticking my finger up in my inguinal canals when fantasizing about genital exams. And it was never uncomfortable when a doctor, real or play, performed the exam.

But ever since my surgery, everything is very "tight" down there and there is still some lingering pain. It was an uncomfortable, albeit brief, experience at my most recent physical last July.

I'm afraid the fun may forever be gone from that aspect of a physical.

When I was 14 years old this happened at my school physical. That it was possible to insert the finger inside at both sides of the scrotum surprised me. It felt rather invasive, but not painful and even somewhat erotic.

It resulted in 3 boys out of 20 being diagnosed with hernia and having surgery. I know other boys in the same class had hernia surgery around the age of 6.

Always had/have trouble inserting finger in left canal ever since 12

Other than the "turn and cough" during the odd medical, I don't remember any doc actually inserting his finger in the inguinal canals and never really thought about it myself.

Had hernia surgery a few years back and had mesh inserted, so there was no way I was going poking in there then

Had surgery for a second hernia on the opposite side last week and I am sure they did the same thing as before.

Recovery seems to be taking a lot longer than I remember from last time, but it may just be my imagination. I certainly don't remember my "meat and two veg" turning black and blue with the bruising as they have this time. 😢

So, to get back to the original post, I haven't had any exploration of my inguinal canals, either by me or any docs that I can remember. I think in UK as long as your nuts dropped on time, or close to, the doc's never bothered with that test.

Pretty sure I am not going to be doing any exploration in the future either.

Supposed to drop and stay dropped?

My partner and I both probe each other's inguinal canals often during sex/mutual masturbation. At first it was just the "kink" of doing it, but over time we've both learned to like the physical sensation itself. We've both frequently done it during solo masturbation as well.

On my first visited to a new urologist he did a thorough check for a hernia. Especilly on the left side where he forcibly probed for an extended time. He told it felt like the start of a hernia and I should go see a surgeon. I didn’t. The next year he did another less invasive hernia check and said everything’s fine. 15 years later…..no issues

I remember docs' checking for hernia.

My testicles are still shrinking from the Estrogen I took for developing breasts and feminizing. They used to be really big but now have shrunk to the size of large grapes. I can push them up inside me! I just wish I could get them to stay inside! I love pushing them into my body! It feels great! I hope they keep shrinking!

My cock has shrunk for 6 inches to 4, and often hides inside me. I have to pull her out to pee standing up!

I was struck by the post by Rigel.

I have had several urologists, and i cannot remember any of them doing a hernia check.

in fact, I even called one of them, becaus I thought I had one, and was told very brusquely that Dr did not check for those... click.

I did have one doctor diagnose a dilated ring and refer to a surgeon. He had me drop em, checked me, made a comment about my doc, told me to get dressed and refunded my co pay.

The hernia exam is part of what I consider the most memorable and embarrassing part of any male exam. My first hernia exam was at age 13 and the technique, and my feelings about the exam, has not changed over the years. I have always had the hernia exam done as the final pert of the exam of the genitalia, being preceded by any exam of the penis and the exam of the testes. The doctor has used his right index finger to palpate the right inguinal canal, which is accessed through the scrotal skin. When the finger is in position, the doctor gives the “turn your head and cough” or “cough away from me” instruction. Most of my examiners have asked for a second cough on the same side. He then repeats the process on the other side. I find it a degrading experience.

Yes! I’ve had hernia checks a couple of times with a finger tip the side of my scrotum, but once when I was making out with a girl who I had an on-and-off fling with in college (first time making out with her, actually) she put her hand down my pants and put her finger around where my inguinal canal is. First and only time someone has done that outside of a clinical setting, but that stuck with me.

The first time I had this done was by a female Occupational Health Nurse as part of my pre-university physical exam in the UK at the age of 18. The doctor who was supposed to conduct my exam was off sick that day, which is why I got the Occ Health Nurse and I don't think she was best pleased that she had to do it!! As it turns out I got one of the most thorough physical exams I've ever had, all very embarrassing at the time, though I often replay it in my head now. For the hernia check she put her finger into the top of the scrotum and told me to bend my knees and bear down, no coughing was asked for!! She did this on both sides, and it all felt rather invasive!

Curious about the dilated inguinal ring. It seems to me that putting a lot of pressure on one during an exam (or during play) would do just this. Anyone have experience?

As far as I can recall, this has always been a part of every real life exam I have ever had, with just one exception. It is important and should be included in exams. However, in real life exams it is all over and done so quickly that it is almost unnoticeable and not really erotic at all, yet every guy can pretty much always remember every detail of them and what they were feeling about that part of the exam even years later. That and the prostate exam are probably the two most talked about and joked about parts of any male physical exam, even though both are actually very short in length compared to the other stages of a real life male exam.

@Downton i agree with your comment 100%. those two exams are the most memorable parts of any physical i've ever had. enjoy chatting with other guys about their experiences, and specifically like you said, their thoughts about and during those two points.

Yes, I love this. I think the first time I had it was age 12 or 13. My doctor also examined my testicles closely. The same doctor came to our school to instruct boys on how to do it. I recall him specifically saying a good time and place to do it was in the shower. This was in a classroom setting -- boys only, as the female teachers stood around. One of many things that led to my medical fetish, imagining my classmates going home and examining their balls, on a doctor's instructions. We all showered after gym in those days too, so I'd look at my classmates' balls and imagine the doctor examining them.

PM?

I find it a degrading experience.

What do you find degrading about it?
