Take out your penis, please

Many times I was told to cough. When I would be standing, it would be "Turn your head and cough (for me)"

But I never heard the doctor say the word "hernia". Basically I was never told what I was being checked for. I learned via conversations with others.

I don't think I've ever heard the doctor mention my penis, per se. It's always been something like, "Okay, can you just lower your briefs?" or "Let's do a hernia check" or the urologist says, "Let me just do a quick prostate check."

In college, I had to get a physical for something and after the hernia check, I mentioned to the doctor, "My penis hangs a little to the left. Is that normal?" I think I was worried that when I got married, it might not go in my wife's vagina properly if it was left of center.

He laughed and said that they had that debate in medical school once and they decided after much discussion that most penises tend to hang a little left or a little right and they are rarely straight on center and being left or right of center does not adversly affect intercourse, so, not to worry.
