Should patients be clothed or naked?

Naked/Nude but the slow controlled direction of the play physician in directing the removal and controlled exposure. Each layer making you feel more vulnerable and exposed, and once totally exposed obedient naked servitude is achieved.

In real life, clothed until it is deemed necessary to remove clothing. Modesty at all times. Play exams, well that is up for discussion surely.

From my POV both male and female patients should wear a gown during the exam

I prefer to go to my underwear and then eventually naked.

I think they should start in their clothes and then change into a gown and then go to nothing… all part of the exam process as it gets more invasive.

I'm find with just underwear until it's time to do the male parts.

I would prefer to be naked or if required, wear something that exposes me, like rather transparent paper briefs with a slit on the back for anal access or similar. My fantasy is that when visiting a doctor, men have to go to a locker and undress and shower before proceeding to an all male waiting area naked. All males have to stand naked until their exam is completed and they can go back to the locker room to dress again.

I prefer patients to be in a hospital gown with nothing on underneath.

Yay I get post #69. I think it should be the same level of exposure as if at the beach or poolside. Mainly just underwear for guys, and bra and panties for women. And when it's time for a breast exam or genital exam, the doctor manipulates / removes those garments on the patient accordingly.

I think they should be naked from the start

My play patients vary. Whichever they prefer is what we go with, but you can be assured that they end up naked and fully exposed, examined, usually photographed and thoroughly fucked.

Depending on the visit ! For a full physical, Naked under a short gown. Gown opened in the front for easy access to the Nurse and Doctor.

We are talking about play scenarios here. Fully naked, of course. From the very beginning of the scene. This helps putting play patients in their 'place' and submissive to the play doctor and make them feel more vulnerable and exposed.

I think the best is to "undress" by steps, like real examinations...start with remove the shirt/top for sthetoscope exams until the patient remove also the underwear.

In my office, patients are either stripped to their lower body or completely naked.

They are given a very small apron that only covers their breasts.

Then I take them to the bathroom where they are given an enema before the actual examination.

My preferences:

Reality: Either brief until genital/rectal exam, or gown with nothing underneath.

Play: I don't know. I've never had a play exam, and don't even know how to find a "doctor"

In both cases, I'd go with practicer's preference

Stripped to briefs or jock strap first then naked for physical exercises and the rest of a thorough examination

Good question! I think it depends on the patients comfort level and if they are male or female. To ensure comfort, I believe it's fine to start with all clothes on and remove as the exam progesses. However, for the best exam experience, I would have male patients start by leaving their jeans on but take off their shirt and socks. For female patients, I would start by providing a gown and only exposing the area being examined. In my opinion, this appears to be the most realistic for both play exams and appointments with a real doctor.

Nude!

As a play-patient, my two cents: This relates mainly to what triggered my fetish in the first place. For me it was visits to a strict pediatrician and a cardiologist as a child and early teen. That is why I'm all for partial nudity, because it feels realistic. Makes me relive those moments from my childhood. Full nudity (at least for the whole of the exam) feels too much like porn and sex. This is also why, I believe, the preference is going to differ across cultures and countries. I used to be examined a lot with just my t-shirt off. Unbuttoned jeans and lowered underpants for the abdominal exams. Having the doctor grab the hem of my briefs with her index finger and pull it away just to get a look. That sort of stuff.

My girlfriend has an exam coming up. She will start off the exam with a gown. After the full exam and pelvic she is instructed to remove the gown and he checks her spine, has her walk back and forth, and do a series tests.

I think it is very dependent on what the exam is for. If you’re there for a focused issue that isn’t including your genitals then I don’t see a reason to be undressed. If there for a physical or annual check up and your doctor still actually examines you, then it seems more efficient to be undressed. Any exam should include auscultation, therefore removing tops seems okay. Even in females, a gown will save the modesty but still allow access.

I like how my NP does mine, I am asked to undress to my underwear and it is optional if I want a gown. In my opinion a gown just gets in the way. When she gets to my abdomen she will usually put a hand into my underwear to feel femoral pulses then have me stand and lower my underwear so she can examine my penis and testicles. When it comes to the DRE and I bend over the table I usually let my underwear fall to my ankles and step out of one leg. When that is over i simply clean myself up and pull them back up. Yes it is a little more revealing but in my opinion she has already seen every inch of me so there’s no reason to hide anything.

I agree everybody should be naked for the exams. And I'm tired of the doctors freaking doctors for an wellness exam just listen to heart and lungs. They don't check anything else.
